Autumn

Should I stay or should I go? I have questioned my motivation this week and seen my strengths and weaknesses. I know from experience that the weaknesses are intrinsic to my progress and thus, become strengths. I have learnt that I have limitations but they only apply for 24hrs at a time. What space do I occupy in this world ? Or am I limiting myself if I occupy only a space?

What if I were without limits in ceratin aspects of my life? I know that spiritually one can only seek to give, if one chooses the path of Serenity. For it is in giving that I find myself. Giving should have no limitations.Creativity has no end, as I have learnt too..

I had a sense of who I was at the beginning of the week and felt an integral part of the process but became self obsessed  by the end of the week... I am ill. I am tired ... BLAH BLAH!!It is limiting to only think of oneself. Life would be lonely and boring with just me in it.

The reality is I get to learn and interact with some wonderful people and learn to express myself in so many ways. I think we all occupy important roles and remembering that makes us efficient and useful.

I crossed a bridge this week and a man was sitting on a chair, with a bucket over his head. He was tied to the chair. I, like many people , had a giggle at first, then questioned what he was doing. I concluded that the question was not what he was doing but what my response to his action was.
I felt like that man , on a crossing from one side to the other, not being able to see the other side. Did the lack of sight bother him. I think not as he could see in the space around his feet.
And maybe I interpreted this incorrectly but it does not matter for the lesson I learnt is it made me engage my thought process and provoked a reaction.
