Fears and Doubts

image

If you do not stand in the space where the Holy lives, fear and doubt can creep in and unsettle you. Suddenly, just prior to my departure, I am distracted and not in a place of calm.  Instead I find myself  procrastinating because I have to make some decisions about what to pack, what to leave, how to best organize myself.  Some days I think having a life partner would be helpful in these moments so that I could be spurred on.

Regardless, I find myself still excited. I wonder if my photos will turn out, if I will be safe, if my belongings will get stolen or lost, and a half dozen other whispers to knock me off my centre.  Funny how that goes. 

Perhaps I should just head to bed so that those voices are silenced. In about 36 hours I will be heading out on an adventure that you can follow here. I decided not to start a new blog since the one I was trying out did not jive with my new i-pad. I released my need to try something new at this late date. 

I shush the nay-sayer voices and know that all will be very well.

Peace,

Suzanne
