The must be something more
The journey began nearly three decades ago as an idea – “there must be something more.”
And so, it began with one idea and a step, albeit a small step – to search. I wouldn’t run away or drown myself in drugs, alcohol, or sex – or even over correct by leaning too far to the right or the left.
Honestly, I really didn’t understand what to do – something was wrong, something was very wrong.
Life was not working out. Later the understanding became clear – the editorial self – that idea you “sell others” – was out of control. The unconscious had consumed nearly every aspect of existence.
Outside – I was getting by; however inside – I hated it all.
And then it got worse. Much worse.
So, began the The Journey on the Mindful Pathway.
