Extricating oneself from within the boundaries of responsibility and good judgement, and out of the safety of daily living, even when done slowly, and as carefully as possible, is a frightening, or at least stress inducing, step to take...
Yet, jumping into the unknown, shedding one's certainties -either adopted or imposed, might just be the only to recourse left, (for those who instead of fulling living have become indolent watchers of their own unfolding existences,) to awaken and reconnect with the 'Now and Here.'
Thus, Having chosen to let go, I fall... into the unknown, out of my comfort zone, towards my dreams and highest inspirations, despite the gnawing shadows of my innermost doubts and fears.
A few days ago, I gave my resignation at the University of Wisconsin, and so in a week, I'll be free from the very job that was gnawing at me from within, as well as allowing me to honestly provide for myself. I also purchased a few one-way tickets to cross the Atlantic, still uncertain of which way my path will wind its way before reaching a clear destination. Finally, I even dropped my yoga classes...
Similarly to surfing, I feel that falling requires a clear intention, good timing, daring, boldness and earnest trust in one's own intuition; and who knows... it might just prove to be as exhilarating a ride.
The 28Th of September is the date for me. Hopefully, I'll be ready. After all, life is a journey... let us meet it, ride it, and hopefully enjoy it.
Until then, I'll just go ahead and stress myself to oblivion.
So be well, and when your time comes to choose, choose wisely.
