Surprise and Wondrousness of All Kinds
Listen to Me, too, once in a while, or often! Let Me be your counselor.
You may have thought of Me as a consoler, and yet consolation is too little to give. Giving consolation says that you have been wounded or mistreated to one extent or another. The implication of giving consolation is that something is the matter and that you then deserve and require consoling. What you really need is to move on.
From your point of view, when something is the matter, you feel wounded, and so you look for a nurse or doctor to fix your wounds. Consolation doesn't fix you. Consolation may add fire to the wounds. In any case, be not a needer of consolation. There is a lot of consolation around, and now I ask you to move beyond consolation.
There is much more to life than what you have already experienced. Now you are on a new tier of life. Now you stand on a high mountain from which you see a greater vista. You are on the cusp of a grand adventure. What is life but a grand adventure? Is there something else you want life to be?
Part of adventure is not knowing exactly what will happen. Adventure is venturing out from where you have been. You cannot stay where you have been and venture out at the same time. You cannot stew in your own juice and still set out to seek your fortune. You have to turn in a different direction.
Free yourself from the past. Buy beautiful dreams like necklaces instead.
Have you not had enough of the past and all the attention you give to it? I know you would like to greet the spirit of adventure, and I know you are well able to, and that you will venture forth of your own accord. You are not going to wait for someone to give you a push. You are not going to wait for a flood of some kind to move you on. You, moved by your own urgings, put a knapsack over your shoulder and set out for your adventure.
Beloveds, even when you travel the same route to work, know that you are on an adventure. Today is not yesterday, and yet what today will bring may be astronomical. Even when you sit in the same chair, you can be open to the new that is to come. Regain your spirit of adventure. I know you can do it.
Just think of it, beloveds. The world is being presented to you today. There are a million possibilities that may present themselves to you. For one thing, there is a sky over you, and a sun that wants to come out. There may be rain that wants to play with you. There may well be love looking for you to accept, and love from you eager to express itself.
I am trying to light a fire under you. I am eager to have you cast off the lure of the past and take a chance on life.
If your life has become humdrum, draw a bigger picture. Imagine a bigger vista. Stop strolling down Memory Lane, and follow the arrows that point to Surprise and Wondrousness of All Kinds. Past or now — which do you choose? You know what I want you to choose. Yes, I do want you to get out of the arms of the past and step into the Great Adventure that is before you.
Beloveds, you can't miss it. All you have to do is to take a step, and the step begins with your thought. Just step out here. Don't mince your thoughts. Don't mince your steps. Leap, beloveds, leap your thoughts!
