And boy do I feel wise and open and full of love!<br /><br />I don't particularly want to be like a monk and head off to some mountain for peace and solitude. So I have to be content with walking very slowly, sometimes crawling along my path to enlightenment. <br /><br />I am meeting some absolutely wonderful souls along the way, so like the saying says....it's the journey not the destination.<br /><br />Sending you light and love always.<br />Peggy xxxxmiruspeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980477108868960140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620413414268418377.post-90646940618092051532009-08-31T15:33:49.653+10:002009-08-31T15:33:49.653+10:00I agree with people's wise comments - it's...I agree with people's wise comments - it's the glory of the ride! For me, I have these flickers of insight – and then the real world crashes in and I'm swept off in some distraction. The monks were right when they went off to the mountain. Peace and solitude - to think it all through. But then comes the demon of 'the self'.<br /><br />I like Van Morrison - but have not heard that song.

So hopefully we are awake most of the time to enjoy the journey.<br /><br />It is Spring tomorrow, what a beautiful season that is.

I asked my husband if he might have it in his music collection but he doesn't. Thanks for sharing the words. Also thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your encouraging words. <br /><br />Music is my solace too. I guess it is a good thing that I have a pleasing singing voice because I cannot listen to music and not sing along.

Then I ask the question again after about 5 minutes....so he never thinks to ask....works really well. :-Dmiruspeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980477108868960140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620413414268418377.post-12157237576869445432009-08-30T11:07:10.802+10:002009-08-30T11:07:10.802+10:00Roban - Yes I do agree I AM ENJOYING my journey. ...Roban - Yes I do agree I AM ENJOYING my journey.
