If you’re under 30, stop reading—I don’t want to spoil the plot. After a while, life can feel predictable. You sense déjà vu. The faces may change, even the geography, but there’s a dawning awareness that you may never have another truly new experience again. You’ve been here before, and you’ll be here again. Initiation, assimilation, creation, dissolution, initiation again—ups and downs, crashes and burns, resurrections; problems, solutions, resolutions, fresh problems—the quest for THE answer, disillusionment, and the quest for the REAL TRUE answer. Escaping home, only to duplicate home, leaving once more.
Thank you, Joan, for the question. There is so much more I'll probably say about this topic since the entire writing sage is my hero's journey of sorts.
Love, love, love this! So many of the same gurus in common. Remember when I followed one to Southern California seeking fame and fortune, finding neither?
Ah, the beautiful, terrible arc of life. Finally, yes and YES to the “stillness of self and simplicity of being”! JUST BEING.
I'm so glad this spoke to you, Kevin. Sometimes, I feel like I'm just babbling, unsure if I'm connecting with others. And yes, I do remember DGN. I went to CA for a personal audience, hoping to get annointed. Having your own personal guru was so "in."
Wonderful. The bowl of fruit analogy is everything! You finally answered my question about writing. And you do it so well.

I love it. Not quite my quest, but I love the fruit bowl metaphor and the deep honesty. Gives me a lot to think about.
Thank you, Mary Lois. I love hearing about your quest as well.
Wait til you get the one I'm sending out today. I hope you'll think it's valid.
