38. Aspiration
Is there is something inherently discouraging about aspiration? If so, it might be the fear that if we ever reach the summit, then we will be “forced” to go “down” the other side. But if we never “summit,” are we by definition forever unfulfilled? “Aspirations” are only maps, and maps are two dimensional tricks of vision. The world we transect is real, wild and constantly shifting. Our eyes, our memories are in permanent flux. Tricks of language are called “semantics”; they bog us down in discussions about differences and definitions that don’t really exist. What matters is our breathing, existent self, coping with the journey by turns brave, confused, eager, frightened, hopeful. We must allow our souls to play out their richest octave of highs and lows as we proceed along our healing quest. As practicing aspirants, we will cultivate a panoply of response as our badge of courage. Mantra; “I accept all of myself, my fears as well as my aspirations.”
