137 - MANDATE


There are times in our lives when life itself mandates a 'get away'. For a peace of mind. To regroup. Recollect. Think. Ponder. Plan. Relax and enjoy. Or just plain forget. Everything. Responsibilities more so than anything.

I am bad about taking these mandates. I feel guilty about not dealing with the day to day responsibilities that are thrown at me from every direction. So I continue on. And on. And on. And one day, the life vat that fills from giving and giving and giving overflows. It spills over. It floods. At this point, the vat begins to crack and a quick repair is needed. A mandated 'get away'. For personal reasons. For regrouping. Recollecting. Pondering. Relaxing and enjoying. For finding a new path, a new road, that will lead to beautiful curves, twists and turns and straightaways.

This is that road for me right now. A road filled with new life of spring. Budding out trees. Carpets of trillium, trout lilies and violets. A road filled with new challenges and revived breathes.
