One day each year (usually on my birthday) I take time to read the passage below from Carlos Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan and recommit to what feels best for me – a path with heart.

“For me there is only traveling on the paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There, I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length, and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.”

What path will you travel?

Today I am grateful to Lorna Roberts for bringing the above quote to my consciousness back in the mid 1990’s, and for helping me to see that a path with heart lies within.

I am grateful to my parents for having the strength, courage and wisdom to bring me into this world and for providing me with great comfort for many years.

I am grateful for the fruitful abundance of this planet and all the beings who walk here with us.

I am happy and grateful to have work that I love, friends who tell me the truth, peace of mind, music to dance to, a bed to sleep in, the ability to travel around the world, time for stillness, silence and conscious breathing, laughter and tears, and a peaceful and prosperous re-birth year.

Amen.

Thanks and peace to all!

Joe
