In Front of Us

"We end up stumbling our way through the forest,

never seeing all the unexpected and wonderful

possibilities and potentials because we are looking

for the idea of a tree, instead of appreciating 

the actual tree in front of us."

Charles de Lint

TAPPING THE DREAM TREE

It is sad to waste time, wishing we were somewhere else in order to be awakened, opened, and spiritual.  There are waves of movement across the world, but in our minds, we are too fearful for change and close our eyes to the adventures awaiting us.

We tend to be waiting for the next train, job, date, or advance ... when it arrives, all things will change.  Meanwhile, everything surrounding us with beauty and light is simply not seen.  Our focus has become so narrow, we miss the big picture!

What is the big picture and why do wait to be transported?  Time we waste waiting are precious moments we could be investing in our composite, detecting all of the beauty, wisdom, and gifts we behold.  If we believed in ourselves half as much as we do charlatans, the world would be a soothing landscape in shifting magical colors.
