Source

This morning I wasn't looking for Source.

I was trying to start a new blog.

In the process, I discovered a whole graveyard of blogs I had started years ago—many with great enthusiasm and very little follow-through! I began deleting them. Six gone before breakfast.

But I looked through each one first.

And then I found this.

My Source SoulCollage® card.

I made it in 2006, twenty years ago. I had completely forgotten about it.

The words I wrote then were:

I started with the painting of the woman reaching into the stream of water, as though she is reaching for the original source of Life. Mother Mary is always important to me, as is the Buddha nature of Life.

Twenty years later, I look at this card and recognize myself.

Still reaching.
Still curious.
Still drawn to Mary and mystery.
Still following a winding spiritual path.

I am 80 now.

And perhaps that's what this new blog is about.

Not having arrived.

Still reaching.

Still curious.
