I love me a paradox of a laid out path within which I make choices.

I think our paths are formed each day by the choices we make -- and the choices and circumstances around us -- with no predetermination at all. In other words, I don't think there really is an external destiny -- just intention on our part. Does that make sense?Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-42563860276119936252012-01-05T00:24:17.729-05:002012-01-05T00:24:17.729-05:00reya - life shows up each morning and i'm comp...reya - life shows up each morning and i'm compelled to say thankyou before i get the details!!!

Every experience and every person makes an important contribution to our weaving. Some are added by conscious design, and some by serendipity. Which are destined to be there is a thought-provoking question, indeed.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-76812572146368194572012-01-04T16:48:19.287-05:002012-01-04T16:48:19.287-05:00Reya,

A BLANK. <br />I hope blogging and having conversations like this will help me a bit.<br />Thank you for the post.nerima robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397000496676038137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-32302118239208488522012-01-04T16:46:42.897-05:002012-01-04T16:46:42.897-05:00Scuse the typos.Scuse the typos.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-21712732478648285902012-01-04T16:45:20.436-05:002012-01-04T16:45:20.436-05:00Meri - thank you!

It seems very convoluted to me, obviously. When I talk about my marriage, I usually fail to mention how much I learned during those years. That's when I started cooking, began in earnest my study of witchcraft and shamanism. <br /><br />With ,y ex husband, I travelled literally around the world, something I would have never done otherwise I assure you. It was not a waste of time, no way - yet I remain convinced it was not part of my destiny. It was an off ramp that leads to a place where it's hard to see how to get back on track. Eventually I did, but in the meantime, oy vey!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-58746516072959759252012-01-04T15:52:52.646-05:002012-01-04T15:52:52.646-05:00I agree with Janis.

And it`s okay?<br /><br />No wonder that those who are troubled deeply feel understood by you. I`m sure you give them relief, because you have been through it all, too. Not avoiding decisions, even painful ones, but going head-on back to that river of destiny.<br />It is good when we are allowed to live long enough to feel settled, rowing the boat and enjoying it, feeling at the right spot.<br />I will have to think more about this.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-34730108404568109232012-01-04T11:42:25.476-05:002012-01-04T11:42:25.476-05:00There are some really thought-provoking ideas here...There are some really thought-provoking ideas here worth chewing on.

It's the plan for our lives we set up in order to further our development. But once physical we have the choice to follow that plan or deviate from it. Of course, if we deviate from it, on another go round we will have to set it up again and this time we might choose parameters that make it harder to deviate. I know that in this lifetime Marc and I were meant to travel together. I started looking for him very early in my life only I didn't realize what I was doing until much later. Eventually I took an off ramp and it took a couple of prophetic dreams to get me back on track. When I finally found him, I knew it at once. That doesn't mean it's been easy being together. It's been terribly difficult and there was a number of years when it was pure misery. But we worked our way through that.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.com
