Strepsil Mansions here::
One day shivers
I know
One week coughing
I guess!
...... and I journeyed today .......... and always thinking about something ....
“ If you want to build a ship,
don't drum up the men to gather the wood,
divide the work and give orders.
Instead, teach them to yearn
for the vast and endless sea. ”
(Antoine de Saint Exupery)
This quote is digging into my soul.
It seems to me to be about the yearning for
'the endless sea'
the road less travelled
the journey of discovery
the walk towards wholeness ............ yearning ........
And I blogged these words below - only a few days ago
and they connect::
Years ago I used to visit a a man
he was my
non-managerial supervisor about every 6 weeks
we talked - level 5 stuff ................
I was doing the toughest job I ever had.
This was a safe place to de-construct.
I remember talking to the great man one particular time.
Jim Punton
google him sometime - he is not with us now
but his wisdom is ............
I remember saying to him::
"I don't feel spiritual at all now.
I feel removed from all things spiritual"
and he said::
"I am glad"
A silence started.
Then I said
"Why are you glad?"
and he said
"Because you are in the midst of change"
(deconstruction.)
Not a safe place to be
not a place called
security
comfortable
satisfaction ........
We talked about sailing between two islands.
One solid ground to anothersolid ground.
Storms and liquid life in-between ..........
That place is - 'change'
"I am glad" he said.
I will never forget this.
We have to go through the storms
a place called comfortable is not a good place to reside
for too long ................
And we can get used to change
get used to deconstructing
get used to reconstructing
and moving on .................
That endless sea
that unstable journeying
and it is what I desire
and also what I want others to consider.
Are you on this endless sea?
Are you desiring solid ground?
Do you sacrifice freedom for security?
