... "I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight".. (C. JoyBell C.)

I do not have a clue how many forks in the road I will come across. I will embrace every change in direction, as it will give me views I have not experienced before. "One Big Sky Covers Us All Equally"

Oh yeah... the if-only syndrome is a step in the grief process too. It is hard to accept, but one must, lest they drive themselves nuts. Ars longa, vita brevis - Art is long, life is short

'Farther On' In my early years I hid my tears And passed my days alone Adrift on an ocean of loneliness My dreams like nets were thrown To catch the love that I'd heard of In books and films and songs Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy In the place where the real world belongs Now I look for the beauty in songs To fill my head and lead me on Though my dreams have come up torn and empty As many times as love has come and gone To those gentle ones my memory runs To the laughter we shared at the meals I filled their kitchens and living rooms With my schemes and my broken wheels It was never clear how far or near The gates to my citadel lay They we're cutting from stone some dreams of their own But they listened to mine anyway I'm not sure what I'm trying to say It could be I've lost my way Though I keep a watch over the distance Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday And the angels are older They know not to wait up for the sun They look over my shoulder At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun Now the distance leads me farther on Though the reasons I once had are gone I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for In the sand beneath the dawn But the angels are older They can see that the sun's setting fast They look over my shoulder At the vision of paradise Contained in the light of the past And they lay down behind me To sleep beside the road 'til the morning has come Where they know they will find me With my maps and my faith in the distance Moving farther on...' Jackson Browne from September, 1974, 'Late for the Sky' Album Ex, as a famous American Philosopher from our Pro Baseball past once said, "When you come to the fork in the road, TAKE IT!" Yogi Berra

I think that the message at the heart of this makes great sense- it is to live without regret. What’s true beyond doubt, though, is that whatever happened is the only thing that DID happen- and indelibly so- but history may serve as a teacher. If that weren’t so, experiments and experience would be of no practical effect (ever) as we move into our future. Awake acceptance, then. Even if every outcome is pre-ordained and will is an illusion, the illusion of choice is itself part of the sculpture of existence. We can appreciate its colors and trace its contours with intent.

" What happened is the only possible thing that could have happened and had to happen - for us to learn a lesson in order to move forward." No, I do not accept that easily. When I can't seem to do something one way, I gather all my resources to find another way. The right workaround will bring a successful turnaround. That to me is the way forward. Or perhaps I've just been lucky.

There will always be that second guessing yourself......life has things already planned out for you.

We are exactly where we are meant to be, right here, right now Sad thing is, we don't readily accept it. That lesson can often take a lifetime to learn "shaped by life, experiences, choices and one day by He who she will come to know as her Master"

The journey forward is never straight...
