“It’s easier this way, you know, being dead.  There’s no more reason for others to hear you, there’s no more reason for trying to be heard.  You’re just here, now, snuggled within the blanket of infinity.”

“Seriously, you should try it.”

Those were the last words he spoke before he disappeared.  That was almost twenty-five years ago.  All I know is that he walked straight into the woods and never came out.  

Until now, of course.

Sitting here alone, I wonder if he regrets his decision.  But knowing who he has become, I realize he doesn’t operate like we do.   His life is no longer based on a set of outward conditions or meaningless obligations.  I think this is the part that bothers me.

Our world seems to be in a constant battle of give and take.  And, there’s always responsibilities and balances that must be met because of this.  Although now I wonder.  What is the cost of our societal balance vs. the kind he found in the forest?  How is his reality different from the one we’re constantly trying to adjust?

The worst part about my questions is the fact that I seem to be asking them to myself.  Maybe this is my true challenge.  As I look to his life for answers, I am humbled to know that they will never come.

For it’s difficult to accept there isn’t anything you can offer someone who wants nothing.

So, I must accept that it was never about him, it was always about what I’ve failed to see within myself …

    I was raised in a home and a church that indoctrinated me into—less than, not good enough, unworthy, and unlovble as well as undeserving of good—

    I know i chose this life before i entered earth—now, i know that the lies were just that lies, deceits, controlling maneuvers
    I am free as i move into my love, worthiness, my knowingness of Source

    Thanks, Adam—freedom to choose is a freedom we don’t often think about

    I am Gods beloved child—i am always loved, wanted, worthy and deserving

    Releasing myself from my Past allows me to embrace who i am—Gods beloved child—-
    Always and forever

    Tha ks, Adam for the reminder
