Red Pill or Blue Pill?



 Have had a good and stretching day.
Usually they go together.
Unstretched usually goes with a bad day!

Now I am tired and need to sleep.
My mind is churning the things I need to do tomorrow.
Undone things.
Deadline things.

I wonder if you are in stretch?
Do you choose stretch?
Or do you choose comfortable?
Growth does not reside in a place called comfortable.

I know sometime
we need to choose comfortable.
Rest awhile
refresh
chillax.

I always remember doing the red pill blue pill thing with a group of beautiful humans who were unemployed, with stress fractures of the soul.
Some alcoholics, mental health issues, chemical influences da de da.
Blue Pill = comfortable, no risks, safe, secure, predictable, certainty ...........
Red Pill = uncomfortable, risk, adventure, uncertainty, stretch, hurt, danger ...........
One young woman said to me "I want to take the Red Pill Pip. But my life is such a mess I must take the Blue Pill".
She reached out to the table in the centre of the group, laden with sweets and picked up and ate a Blue Smartie .........

I understood. I understand. I loved her in it and she knows I do.
She had real bouts of suicidal feelings.
Yet she came to my group.
She wanted to be with others.
Not hiding - wanting.
But she was brave enough to consider Blue or Red.
Brave enough to also decide - make a decision.
So often there is no decision.
Status Quo rules.

Lots to reflect upon here at Wilson Mansions.
I need to get stuff out of my soul
I am full-up!
Will do tomorrow when I finish my stretch.

I think of you before I close up my mac laptop.
I wonder how your soul is?
I wonder if you yearn for the Red Pill - getting out of your comfort zones?
I wonder if you you are yearning for an opportunity to be offered a Blue Pill?
I wonder if you place yourself in a place to decide?
Whatever you decide, you are beautiful.
Whatever you decide - 
choose life .......
