Sailing Through Life

We have always heard, "It is better to give than to receive." But instead of receiving, we have embraced want, desire and greed. Things have become our most cherished thoughts and stuff our highest goal. In order to truly give or receive, we must get back to the basics of connectedness - the Divine purpose of our souls' journey: to LOVE our Creator & one another. How can I "give" if I do not live embracing ALL my fellow life-travelers?

I need to constantly be re-evaluating my thoughts, words and actions and adjust my forward motion to the course which brings me ever closer to that Divine purpose: LOVE. I will try not to judge my past as wrong or "bad", but as a learning experience from which to glean understanding. Like the sailors of old, I must use what I have naturally available to chart my course. The people in my life are like the stars; each constellation pointing my way. Some larger "stars" providing much needed insight and perspective.  The Divine is my wind; steering my vessel where I will have opportunity to either harness it's power or fight against it in a fruitless effort to go my own direction. My choices; where I place the rudder and how I use the sails determining my direction and ultimate destination. Lastly, remember "A smooth sea never made a good sailor." ~P.Frye
