A good year:
and so it happened, I turned 60, an age the sounded ancient to my much younger years. Physically, aside from hard mileage on my body from an active life, I feel good, fit and strong and ready for the next 20 years or so. There are other areas in my life that aren't in the same shape as my body. Finances and relationships have proven more difficult - but than they've never been my strong suit after all. So now's the time to maybe make some progress there.
the truth is - I'm now ready to surrender.
I'm giving up.
and as scary as that is...it's been long overdue.
60 is a good year to finally let go. My ego's had a good run controlling the show, brought me lot's of drama and adventures, comedy, much of it the tragic kind though. Those have been long years and throughout that span there's moments of surrender, glimpses beyond the ego's control with hints of something more involved. Well over half of these 60 years have been spent cultivating the idea for this very moment - life has prepared me to reach this point of giving everything away.
yet losing absolutely nothing at all.
it's now time for the Holy Spirit to run the show - at least to the extent that I'm able to let go. Here, let's clarify that the Holy Spirit is simply the symbol of my highest mind, a mediator between spirit and form, being a steady reminder of who I truly am. Throughout life the Holy Spirit has been a consistent whisper for me to let go, to trust, and surrender my every thought of control.
I'm 60 - so why not listen now?
it's a new adventure, one that's a little kinder on my body, gentle, yet no less grand in what offers. There's a lot of fear still involved, concerns, doubts that I'm actually ready to let go. It's only natural, 60 years is a long time to imagine that I was ever really in control. But I'm not really asked to do much, just to show a little willingness to turn towards that consistent whisper. To be a little more attentive to a more loving voice of guidance.
the Holy Spirit will always meet me right here...
exactly where I am.
asking only that I listen.
and so finally after all these years...
I will.

I love you, Eric
