Chasing Your Tale

It’s a clear blue sky with just a touch of wind. The sun isn’t quite hitting the window directly, as the earth changes its angle towards Fall. I’m in a quiet reflective moment as the dreams of last night fade away. I learned a while back not to take dreams too seriously. For often they are nothing more than my bodies way of getting me up to pee. So I sit here listening to the tapping sounds of my keyboard, while my wife has the $100,000 Pyramid bleeding through the walls.
 
Like I said, I’m taking a moment to clear my head of last night’s dreams. Allowing my body to find it’s center. So often we get so caught up in the rush of life that we forget to breathe. When you live a life where you have to make all the decisions on your own. The usual sounding boards you would have to help you make decisions, become nothing than our own empty headspace. So you eventually crack under the pressure. Discovering the clever fellow you thought you were is nothing but a ruse. But despite those many defects, I still work to find peace.
 
I wish I could tell you that my way of finding peace would work for you. But that would be like me saying every wall needs to be painted green in order to achieve Zen. But that’s simply not the way it works. My way may not be your way. You may need to fellowship of a congregation and prayers to God for forgiveness.
 
When going through my own personal hell, there were a many a night I prayed to God for peace. But I never got an answer. But before you pour on your own testimony of faith. I discovered that I had to look inside myself to lose the self-judgment and find forgiveness. Now I’m not going to waste your time on the how, where, or why’s of my doctrine simply because that’s not my place. It is you that must find your own path to peace, much like I did. Because if you don’t, you’ll only find yourself spinning around in circles chasing your tale.
