"Whatever you are not changing you are choosing."
Laurie Buchanan
We are born with guard rails on our crib, fences in the yard, and boundaries implanted in our baby minds. We are raised with rules, family patterns and structures to keep us safe. In time, we accept the limitations of being boxed in. We actually become uncomfortable if we do not establish railings on either side.
One day the confines finally feel just too tight and the urge to break out demands attention. Where do we begin our expansion? Do we defy authority, break a dress code, run away emotionally or kick down that which binds us? There is a feeling of being just too small and our energy surges.
Exiting whatever tunnel there may have been, we find an opening at the end leading to expansion. As our heart is set free, our mind is flooded with artistic expression, and our souls are lifted into a lofty surge. We may ponder "who am I". And isn't that just the point ... realization that we are so much more and exciting choices need to be made.
