Beliefs require no further thought; they are treated as given; they shut down the mind, making it heavy with boulders carved from false arrogance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As Creation becomes stagnant, Chaos ensues\u2026 to ensure that thinking may resume, skirting and dodging old beliefs. The river is uncomfortable&#8211; even deadly&#8211; as believers cling to the heaviest of stones littering their minds. There are no &#8216;safe&#8217; conclusions in a reality steeped in endless beginnings. Life is process, never destination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I walked this day alone, without my new puppy. The full circuit is a bit much still. When I set out it was warm and rainy. A half hour later I was in a blizzard. A half hour after that it was sunny again. Talk about tumultuous transitions!<\/p>\n<p>I know you&#8217;re probably getting tired of the daily updates on the Invisible Bear.
