Mumblings on Moments

It is the 1st of May 2010 already! I have been meandering through the first 4 months of 2010, with one purpose...to find balance and meaning in my life. After 15 years in the golden shackles of corporate life, I knew it was time to jump ship. I have been privileged since January to travel, to share many amazing moments with Johan, to look after my body (thanks to Robyn's yoga classes... and the Hydro), my spirit (thanks Venita for sharing the journey) and to start following new career directions (thanks to Paul for mentoring me every step of the way).

But it has not been very comfortable. The realisation that my new life might not be as busy, but much more of a challenge, on all levels, does leave me with a sense that I need to stretch this sabbatical - somehow make it last a littler longer. Who wrote this poem again? Most apt description of where I am...at this moment :)

 

I don’t do confrontation very well.
Don’t handle loss either.
Funny, as this year has had a good dose of both.
I have learnt enough lessons and experienced enough karma to fill a few bags.
But, I don’t intend taking them with me.
No, I have learnt my lessons,
but will leave my baggage behind, thank you.
For where I am going,
you need to travel lightly.
