Stepping into Freedom

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.   Robert Frost

Making a forward step can be invigorating and empowering, no matter how tentatively l move. Shaking off the shackles of past thinking and personal limitations can feel like standing naked in public. In fact, though, I find myself stepping into my sovereign Self. How beautiful! How surprising! How gratifying! 

A ‘comfort zone’ can become like a rut in a well-traveled road, keeping the wheels from veering off into a new direction. Deciding to make a turn onto “the road less traveled by” entails removing the wheels from the ruts by direct intention and action. And if those wheels are thoroughly stuck in the rut, it means I have to get out of the old, comfortable vehicle and start walking. 

My connection with my Mapmaker is refreshed daily. I’m so very grateful for that. I discover the others who have similarly decided to follow their own guidance, and am encouraged by them at every step, every turn. 

We’re the adventurers! I’m grateful for us all.
