I smiled as I watched this chipmunk dart among the boulders. Such an energetic little creature. His movements were quick and unpredictable, perhaps a strategy for survival in his wild world.
It was later that it struck me that life is like that…quick and unpredictable. And it’s that unpredictability that challenges my human self. My human self loves routines and schedules and orderliness. Taking risks and making big changes are not high on her list of favorite things.
But deep in my heart, perhaps where my true self can be found, I feel the desire for so much more…adventure and excitement and wondrous experiences without fear or trepidation.
I suspect it’s an ongoing tug of war between my human self and my authentic self. Caution and predictability, or risk and adventure?
Life is such an interesting dance…
