USA Cross-Country Drive, Day 16
I’m in familiar territory again as I make my way north to Philadelphia for a day and then on to New York City. This morning I noticed that my thoughts were drawn once again to Southern California. I imagined myself moving west again after my summer commitment, watching the palm trees sway, and dipping my feet in the Pacific Ocean. Of course I have no idea what will happen over the next few months. What I enjoy very much is the unfolding, the surprising twists and turns, the gentle ups and downs, ins and outs. A year ago I couldn’t have imagined that I’d be living on the east coast again, but I trust that Spirit has a Divine Plan that is of course unfolding right now. When I asked about that in meditation I heard,
‘Let it be. Once you are clearer about how you want to live this next phase of your life, then you can use Divine Will to align with your ‘goals’, even as you know that your soul has it’s own goal: to show you each and every day, in each and every possible way, how extraordinary you and all beings are.
Life is good. Life is meant to be lived without boundaries. Keep blazing a trail with your heart. Live for you. Be open. Be authentic. Be here, now.’
And so it is.

USA Cross-Country Drive, Day 15
It’s Tuesday, May 15th. I made it to the east coast yesterday. Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia faded gently as I crossed the Maryland border on my way to the home of Sister #3. I was grateful to have the miles of rain and foggy mountains behind me. My windshield wipers needed a break!
Early this morning I merged with a dream. I thought I was sleeping in my car near a railroad crossing. Two red lights caught my eye, one on the left and one on the right. The light on the right asked me to come closer. Uncertainty and fear held me back. The other light asked me to look more clearly. I looked from side to side several times and listened to each voice. The light on the left became clearer. It was a digital clock announcing the time: 4:29am. I was sitting up in bed, in a bedroom in my sister’s house. For a moment I sat there, wondering what the dream was telling me. Too tired to wait for an answer, I put my head down on the pillow and fell asleep. Later in meditation I asked for information about the dream.
‘In your human mind you are searching and things are not very clear at this time. There is a part of you that would like an answer about the future now, and another part that is happy being right where you are. This journey is – in part – about letting things be and allowing your self to notice where you feel at home. The fact that it took a while for you to become clear about what you were seeing in that lucid dream may indicate that you are ready to see more of the details. Notice that you saw the clock very well without your glasses. Notice that you found comfort as you distanced your self from the fearful voice in your head. Notice that you allowed your self to go back to sleep without mulling things over in your head for more than a minute.
The railroad crossing may indicate that you are willing to slow down, wait, and observe before taking the next step. Are you open to believing that the next step awaits? Are you open to knowing that the path you have chosen is absolutely in line with your highest good? Are you open to continuing to forge what may seem to you and others to be an unusual path?
The unusual is calling. The extraordinary is beckoning. The road less traveled awaits.’
As I finish typing this the sun is bursting through the clouds. I’ll take that to be another good omen.
