Own only what you can
always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your
memory be your travel bag. [Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn]
I love a good play with words. Carry on and carry-on. And
all the same, I love how spot on Sozhenitsyn is here. To carry only what I CAN.
The rest makes me tired. The lot of it is too much to ask of myself.
This is how I am learning to live Now. Lightly. Without more
than I can carry. Unencumbered.
And it isn’t an easy path, really. It asks for constantly
letting things go, letting people go, and letting Life BE itself without my
input or agreement. So I have learned to travel light, to know what I need and
take even a little less than that.
Perhaps this is the WHY of my word for 2013, Enough.
Discovering what is Enough has been absolutely amazing. Knowing that more is
NOT better, it is just more, and often too much or even worse. So I carry on
with what I have and right where I am. Simple. Simpler.
Someday I will succeed
in my dream. Someday I will overcome my fears. As for me in this current moment
though, I must just carry on. [Isabel Aanya Leigh]
Somedays someday
is quite Enough.
I love you, Currie
