To accept that I am as I am, but not as I was or may yet become.
If we are what we have become, then that would suggest/confirm that we each and all are works in progress, and yet, even to know or believe that we are what we have become, doesn’t answer the simple (?) question of, how did it all begin, and why? as in that so-called nonsense rhyme that goes, “How did it all begin and why? I asked a cow as she walked by …”
Also, to contemplate on the concept of having become what we now are suggests that we may yet become, in some way(s), something even more than we now are.
Are we as children in school, with a sense of confidence at how much we have learned, while our teachers seem to know that we still have a long way to go?

A Journal of a journey, with Spirit as my guide, using
the wisdom of I Ching, an ancient explanation of change as a necessary part of life, to understand Life, and where, how, and why my life has developed as it has, and where do I go from here, and how, and why.
My mission, purpose, or desire is to share my struggle toward and passion for enlightenment, without having a clear idea of what it will look like when I find it, and I intend to find it, sooner or later.
Meanwhile I seem to be struggling toward enlightenment without a clear road map, unless Spirit, my constant companion (did He invite himself along, for laughs, perhaps?) is hiding it from me, for whatever reason.
Vancouver, BC Canada is the only place I care to live, in this world. Perhaps it's not entirely by choice. My name is carved into a nearby sidewalk, as if to remind me where I belong. I am blessed to have Spirit as a teacher. Just ask him.
