Sometimes I go along with something for so long and I get somewhere but, not where I want to. I'm like a river at times. I follow the path of least resistance. Rivers are beautiful I think, and they get you to the ocean eventually, they take you through forests and down hills, they form waterfalls, they hold fish and give life. But I don't want to be a river. I want to be like a mountain. Mountains take you to lakes and rivers. They hold up forests and provide homes for all wildlife. They create valleys and waterfalls, they give you views of the ocean and bring you close to the sky. You see and experience more, including the river at the bottom of the valley or canyon's experience but, you see the bigger picture and it makes more sense why things are the way they are. It may be harder to be like a mountain but, in the long run I think it's more worth it. It may take more time to create or even break down but, I'm also learning a lot about patience recently.
This town is more than any man could ask for. And if I were to end up here, I'd consider myself lucky. But the truth is, I'm not ready to end up anywhere.-Big Fish
Truth is. I live in a beautiful place. Thanks to a friend who reminded me to wake up I was able to watch the sunrise this morning on the side of a mountain. The patchwork in the valley was beautiful with the light reflecting off every little small or semi large body of water. Looking at all the roads connecting, seeing the light stream through the side canyons and slowly bring the side of the mountain to life. I loved it. So peaceful. It's times like that in my life that I know God truly exists. Something that beautiful and perfect had to have a hand in it from a Higher Power. I truly am blessed but, just like the Big Fish quote, I'm not really ready to stay here even though a large part of me wants to. I want to keep moving around still and learning about myself, my purpose, and about people. I realized though I need to continually be happy with where I am now and not where I'm going. because if I'm not I'll always be trying to go somewhere to find something I'm not 100% sure I'm looking for. It comes from inside of me first. Then I am allowed to learn more along the way of where I'm going.
