Becoming

Isn't it funny the way our world seems to work entirely in absolutes. I'm this not that, here not there. And yet the experience I have and see in many others is vastly different from that.

Now fast approaching my 50th birthday (yipeee!) I'm so excited to see what my next half century will look like, and am curious to let it emerge rather than forcing it to be one thing or another, called one thing or another, located somewhere and not somewhere else.

In this absolute world I'm practicing a spot of becoming. And I like it! ;-)

Keats summed it up nicely - "Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter;". Here is to the best - that is yet to come. Or Become!!! My best to you!!!!
