path you’re on. The idea then, is to find a way to listen
to what conversation your mind, body, and spirit are
having. “Today is the first day of the rest of your life,”
said Charles Dederich, presumably in an uplifting speech
spoken to recovering drug addicts, something for which
he was known. A wake up call to make something of the
day ahead, and to choose the path you want to see ahead
of you by supporting that space with the right paddle
strokes to reach your destination in the smoothest and
most enjoyable of manner. A lesson for all, to seize the
day, the moment, your lifetime, and make it something
to be proud of. To reach the answers that surface during
contemplation, you must learn how to be an explorer of
your destination by observing and noting the things you
find yourself being drawn time and again. Think back
on what classes you gravitated towards in high school,
what you currently like to do when you have free time,
and as you note a string of related topics, consider how
to refresh the journey with this awareness.
You border on obsessive food label reading, have very few
moments of physical stillness, and can be mesmerized
for hours pulling weeds in your yard. Take those three
components and redirect them into a naturally fertilized
and carefully tended food garden. The call to garden and
take control of the land takes patience and pride to work
the sandy soil so that it renders healthy, growing plants
thriving with food to put on your plate, not to mention
the excitement and peace that comes as a byproduct.
Being aware of the need to educate others on benefits
of home-grown food, and finding an audience of others
who are likeminded, rolls you right up to community
involvement. Find a way to educate your audience and
pour your talents into organizing a community garden,
therefore utilizing your knowledge to not only benefit
others, but to also feed your soul with what it needs.
Growing your own food that you know exactly where
it came from, and how it was nurtured is satisfying for
body and soul as you move forward in a path suited for
you. You may not have garden instincts at all, and that is
perfectly fine, it’s a process to discover new and unmarked
paths that lead you to a more fulfilled life. The key is
to analyze what you are drawn to, and compare those
components to what you are actually involved with. Once
you are able to make connections to your here and now
life, broaden those interests that stand out the most, and
draw up some new patterns.
