Getting to the Other Side
2007-02-07
Bridges...decisions....more on this topic! One of my good friends posted this comment and I thought it was a good one.
"...its awesome if u decide to cross over in entirety...i couldnt do that...my mind crossed over, my body lies on this side of the river- tied to a lot of other things...n now the physical me is right in the middle of a lot of things that dont make any sense any more...and i have quite literally lost my mind to the other side! ..."
There are many times you cross the "river" with your mind, but how about the body...will it come, too? HOW? Yes - you've already come to the decision that you have to make a decision - and - you've done enough planning to get you mind over the hurdle...why is it so hard to get the body over? The body can't cross till the issues get worked out. There is work to do! If the mind decided that you are going to swim, then you have to get wet. But your body actually has to do it....How? Will it be cold? How will you dry off on the other side?... Can you find some stepping stones?
Details....always the details...In river restoration we call working through the details - "DESIGN" - All these details that need to get worked out so that you can accomplish the master plan. What is the Master Plan? ....It is the mind getting across to the other side.... DESIGN is the body getting across - going through the details...doing the hard work...answering all of the pesky little questions that life throws at you.... But what rewards wait at the other side!!!!
