I am often asked how I am doing when Marc leaves for Vegas. A month is long time in the context of a family and his absence is felt. There are some advantages one discovers...
Let’s imagine. In order to catch a ball someone is throwing to us, we must first let go of what we are holding. It is the same way I deal with Marc’s departures. I have mentioned before that when he is away I write to him, every day, a physical card that I put in the post (yes - snail mail) that gets there when it gets there. Why do I do this? Because when I let Marc go with an open heart, all these other riches flow in. Words, lyrics, songs and paintings are just some of the by-products of his being away. We are not really apart. As I write I feel close to us. When he reads them back to me from his land far far away, we feel close to us. You have to go in the opposite direction sometimes to find a real treasure. We can’t get stuck in our everyday lives and the fear that keeps us from discovering what wonders may lie just around the corner.
It does take courage to look beyond our comfort zones but the change in perspective might end up being the most beautiful view you’ve ever had of your own life. 1, 2 , 3 ... JUMP!
Namaste!
