Sunday March 4th 2007
I won't make you sick with yet another beautiful beach photo today. Was running up the lighthouse way early and surfers were already out on the water or even some were finishing and going back to their car by the time I got to Wategoes Beach which was between 7am and 7:15am. To the surfers, nothing must come between them and a good wave. Up early most are out scouting the different beaches to see where the best surf might be on any given day, occasionnally giving up to go back to bed if the surf is not up. To the keen surfer, surfing becomes close to a religion. I've never surfed so do not quite understand it.
Had a lovely gathering in Bangalow last night at Jannelle's. It was a celebration of the few Aquarians we know (there were only two) and it was a great opportunity to see a few friends I hadn't seen yet.
The amazing thing about coming back to somewhere you've lived before is noticing those things which have changed not so much on the outside, ie in the environment but on the inside, within yourself. Because, faced with a similar environment, the difference of feelings and outward response generated quickly shows where changes have occured. I am the same and yet I am not the same. My whole relationship to myself has changed in a subtle but very real way. Subtle changes create amazing changes in responses and attitudes.
And as I sit here waiting a little to find out what wants to happen next in my life, I'm not really concerned. I'm so confident that life has always done the right thing by me even when I didn't know what the right thing might be. Even when the right thing seemed like the wrong thing at the time. As I said before, you lose something and you gain something. In other words, one door closes and another opens. Having a world of possibilities can be quite exhausting as one doesn't know how to focus oneself. I'm as free as I can be right now. I have few limits and yet limits are not a bad thing. Finding balance between discipline and creativity is an art. Freedom is probably best appreciated when there are some limits in one's life.
6am boot camp tomorrow morning...ouch! That is definately called discipline...
Bye for now
