If a black cat crosses your path it indicates that the animal is going somewhere - Grocho Marx The path of least resistance are you on it? Know where you are going in life? Or even where you want to be by tonight? Are you faced with choices and decisions that are confusing confounding and hard to distinguish between? I've just had a great discussion with a lovely lady who is at a crossroads of sort. I love it when someone reaches out for connection and allows me to let inspiration flow. It's all the more fulfilling when we are yet to meet in person because I can trust that the information I'm sharing is from source rather than tainted by my human perceptions of them or the way I have judged how they are living their lives. Life offers so much choice everyday at every junction sometimes it's hard to determine which outcome will be the most promising. To trust that tossing a coin could take us on a wonderful journey. Perhaps we have broken through a paradigm and are newly aware that our belief system has changed. We are brave enough to explore new horizons but we are just not certain which opportunity is the most fruitful to pick. In these instances it is important to trust your gut reactions and to learn to distinguish when you are in the flow or not. There is a temptation to race off down the first path we stumble upon. 100 yards into our dash we realise we are up to our necks in shit. The trick is to take it one little step at a time and check in with your gut often. Ask is this an Ooo or an Ahhh. And step by step feel your way along; following the path of least resistance. The path that feels good, light and fun. There are wants, needs, desires, cues, judgements and observations that get us where we deserve to go. Make lists or mind maps to feel out your journey. Start with what you really really want, what you need is as simple as base survival and what you desire is that quiet little voice that you hardly even D.A.R.E to listen to. Desire can wear disguises. It may be the nagging feeling or crowd in the grandstand telling you that you can't do that or should do this. It's time to be really quiet and ask yourself why that voice is so certain that it knows what is good for you. Maybe you really are allowed a pony or actually could be prime minister - we were each created equal with a god given right to divine inspiration. Just some D.A.R.E to follow it. Out of this voice of desire rise the seeds of fruitfulness. The passion to live by the sea, the drive to wipe out bullying, the inspiration for creativity. If everything has happened to you for a reason lifes lessons just may be in the signs. Perhaps its where things are the most in contrast. Observe what it is that you find the most challenging or confronting. Use these nuggets of wisdom to sketch out your road map but allow the universe to fill in the landscapes, the terrain and the colour for you. Reach out and connect with others - this is where the ideas flow and the synchronicity happens. Where 2 degrees of separation can pop out and become cairns by the road side - shrinking your world and putting the people and the tools in your path to take you to shores you have not even dreamt about. The cues are where you come in. The lines that someone utters that you have a gut response to. The offer of a job or a chance to connect with someone or something. Judgements and observations are the road signs. I D.A.R.E'd to comment on an April fools Facebook post by someone asking should she go to live in the South of France for 6 months or Stewart Island for a year. The last joke may have been on the poster. Designed to lure us into thinking she was seriously considering leaving the shaky isles. The judgements from others and her own observations that either choice was suddenly sounding very enticing may have created opportunity to exciting to ignore. The engineer and I asked GOG to define whether Grumpy Old Man Syndrome really exists and why. I love our philosophical explorations of life and its stages through the web of online learning and knowledge. References to Eriksonian psychosocial stages gave me flash backs to those first year psych lectures. That as we age there is a natural need to detach from society as we face death and leaving this world for another unknown. There is the inevitable comparisson of what we desired to achieve and whether or not we ticked the boxes and got there. Or whether we become cynical , bitter, twisted and sad that this time around we blew it and now we are out of time. Didn't D.A.R.E or care enough to at least say that we tried. For those that look back and sum up the path they have travelled positively there is the opportunity to become the wise sage. The kamatua, a healer, a helper, a light worker. To be one who gave something a go and risked the rejection and the humiliation of failure. That listened to what we thought we could never DO and did at least some of it and felt good for it. Or realised that although the temptation to live abroad in a new location sounded enticing and different, that life here ...exactly as it is now; was just to good to ignore and a new level of satisfaction in staying put was the greatest gift of all. I allow my intuition to lead my path - Manuel Puig
