Yes, I\u2019m headed in the right direction&#8230; <em>for me<\/em>. There are infinite directions, and one of them is right for you&#8230; and only you&#8230; because <em>you create it<\/em>. That is the One Way.<\/p>\n<p>When you put together a puzzle&#8211; even an impossibly huge one&#8211; you don\u2019t bend the corners or break off the bits of the pieces which don\u2019t seem to fit. No, you search&#8211; attentively; you seek&#8211; eternally; you journey on&#8211; joyously&#8230; because you KNOW there\u2019s a perfect fit&#8211; unique and singular.<\/p>\n<p>Have you memorized the brilliant speech of another? Sang along to a song not your own? Have you copied and pasted together the script for a life imitating life&#8230; imitating life&#8230; imitating life&#8230; when all that is needed is for you to live it?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no one who can certify that you are qualified to be you&#8230; so none can deny it; you ARE. I can\u2019t validate your dreams if you leave them rusting in my parking lot&#8230; Race you to the exit!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s funny how we all need the very same basic things, but can\u2019t agree at all how to get them! Eventually we all ask the same questions, but are only satisfied with very different answers. Don\u2019t fight it; make room for it; infinity needs places to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Do you pray according to someone else\u2019s design? Are your meditations guided by the visions of others? &#8230;Why? At the very best, such practices can only lead to a perfect position for kissing someone else\u2019s ass! Ever wondered why it\u2019s impossible to kiss your own? Could it just be that we\u2019re not meant to be ass-kissers?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we are here to share, to inspire each other, to lend a helping hand&#8230; to set you on your feet&#8230; <em>your feet<\/em>. And then it\u2019s up to you to dance&#8211; not the way you were taught or told, but like the freaked-out whacko you truly are!<\/p>\n<p>How did we get to this place where we\u2019re so afraid to be who we are? Is it really better to dress ourselves in drab, insipid lies just to blend in&#8230; into what? A tasteless, vapid human soup that even the homeless would find lacking? Rather, be that morsel of \u201cWhat the fuck is that!\u201d that gets lodged between life\u2019s molars, driving love\u2019s tongue bat-shit crazy.<\/p>\n<p>You are irreplaceable. Grok that! It\u2019s important; you\u2019re important. There are no substitutions. We are all originals&#8211; perfectly original. If you\u2019re weary of being you, it\u2019s a sure sign that you\u2019ve been struggling to be someone else. Stop it; it can\u2019t work!<\/p>\n<p>Only authenticity can find the authentic&#8230; and you are the author of everything that\u2019s real. If there\u2019s currently no word to describe your deepest trusolessence, then make one up&#8230; It\u2019s not that hard&#8230; and let the grammar nazis be.<\/p>\n<p>I love you&#8230; I love you because you\u2019re not me. I already got one of those! You are my third eye, the divine perspective. We are the context for each other\u2019s sacred words. I will never understand you fully&#8230; and that\u2019s why love is eternal&#8230; and exciting. And you will never understand me completely, no matter how I blather on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We will all come together soon enough in the silence of God\u2019s organic smile&#8230; but in the meantime, he dares us all to punch him in the mouth!
