Happy Birthday By James Bridges
Preparation. No one talks you into it, yet most attempt. The lack of depth requires us to fill a void with something other than reality. This is what goes through my brain as I move forward on the path. Reflecting on life I notice patterns that revolve around times of a boost in healing. These boosts are typically spiritual in form. However, I love when they reveal themselves in a more accepting natural form, such as the physical world. During these boosts there tends to be tiny bursts of what I call “after-boosts” which cluster around and follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, “the boost.” It’s logical to think that good news always follows good news, etc… But, you are never truly fully prepared for sudden changes or adjustments in your bubble. Shifts that affect you so greatly that it spills over into multiple people’s worlds. I consider myself an involved parent. My youngest turned 7-years-old today. In my experience, to have the opportunity to step back and map out the truly positive “after-boosts” which have followed the major “boost”, the birth, is something extraordinary in an ordinary form. We tend to look the other way and not take much notice while these exchanges of high-energy occur. In retrospect, I’ve ridden a wave down a river that is flowing so swiftly that many things require a revisit into the past in order to see what is on the shore. Cue the boosts. During these times of reflection we can turn these “boosts” into anchors. Find a good spot to toss one out for a while. You will most likely be rewarded with things you never knew about your world.
