The Tao doesn’t care, as it is merely a Way. But how to walk this path? Motherhood, survival, employment–all handled. Now time shrinks and looms simultaneously. Passions dry up like a puddle in a drought. And living a life based on demands and passions now seems a withering legacy.
Helping others has been my default motivation. I am forced these days to re-think that urge–is it for me, or them, and what about me? Tiresome thoughts that trip me into escapism. I just don’t have the muscle build-up for goals, never had the training, am ok with the end of the game, not keeping score. Much.
So today I release all reins on how I am supposed to be, feel, what I’m supposed to do and let my God Nose–God Knows–lead the way. I trust Her, I love Her, I lean on Her as my Divine Purpose. Besides that, Her giggle entices me.
