THE MISTS OF REMEMBERANCE.............


THE MISTS START TO ROLL IN OVER A GREY SEA AND I AM TRANSPORTED BACK SOME 40 ODD YEARS TO WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED AT THE COAST TO LIVE THERE.
THE FOGHORN BLARES AND ALL THE MEMORIES BECOME MORE VIVID AND THE REALISATION OF THAT TIME ,WHICH CREATED A LASTING IMPRESSION.

IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE AND HOW THE MISTS REPRESENT ONE'S PERCEPTIONS AND FEARS.
IT IS IN THE PERCEPTION OF HOW ONE LOOKS AT THINGS AND THE FEARS WHICH ARE LAYERED ON THE PERCEPTIONS.
LIFE AND ALL IT'S OCCURRENCES ARE THE MIST!

DOES ONE ATTEMPT TO EMBRACE THE UNKNOWN AND EVEN IF ONE KNOWS WHAT IS THERE.
WITH THE MIST ,IT IS STILL THE UNKNOWN.

IT COMES DOWN TO THE APPLICATION OF WHAT ONE KNOWS,
WHAT ONE THINKS THAT ONE KNOWS,
WHAT ONE IS PREPARED TO ACCEPT,
WHAT ONE IS PREPARED TO EMBRACE,
WHAT ONE FEELS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EMBRACE,
WHERE ONE PUTS THE FOCUS OF ATTENTION,
HOW WIDE OR NARROW THE FOCUS IS,
WHETHER ONE IS ABLE TO HAVE THE DUALITY OF FOCUS,
WHETHER ONE IS PREPARED ONLY FOR THE PREPROGRAMMED CONDITION OR IF ONE IS COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO STEP OUT,
INTO WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE ABYSS AND EMBRACE THE NOTHINGNESS,
TO FIND OUT, THAT WHAT IS, IS NOT NECESSARILY, WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT MAY BE, OR THAT TRAPPED IN THE INNER CORE OF ESSENCE, LIES THE ANSWER TO YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL IMPRINT.

THE PROCESSES OF PREPARATION AND EXTENSION ARE ABSOLUTELY KEY.
WILLINGNESS AND CURIOSITY, TO TRAVERSE, NOT ONLY THE EXTERNAL, BUT THE INTERNAL ARE A PREREQUISITE.
THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE KNOWING OF SELF ARE A NECESSITY.
THE OLD ADAGE PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT IS A TRUISM.

WHEN THE ENDEAVOUR IS RIGHTEOUS AND SELFLESS, AND THE OBJECTIVE IS TO SYNTHESISE ONE'S EXPERIENCE, TO REGAIN THE WHOLE, THEN THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE.
EACH STEP ALONG THE WAY IS A MEANINGFUL ONE.
EACH SETBACK IS ONLY A TIME TO REFLECT, ON THE PROCESS, THE GOAL ONE THOUGHT ONE WAS AIMING FOR ,AND A TIME TO PUT IN PLACE NEW MECHANISMS TO TRAVERSE FURTHER.
COMPARISONS ON THE INDIVIDUAL CAN ONLY BE BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL AND SETBACKS GIVE ONE A RESPITE TO COLLECT DATA , SYNTHESISE AND TAKE ACTION.

THE MISTS OF LIFE ARE THE PLAYING FIELDS, TO LEAVE THE FEAR AND EMBRACE THE WHOLENESS OF SELF

sparky,
the ability to change the perceptions, changes the result.
it is better to empower oneself and open up to the opportunities.
thanks
