On the spiritual path, we gain the confidence that the elements will conspire on our behalf. That what we believe in and truly desire will manifest itself. However, understand that the elements can only conspire for you through you. So take the leap, take the risk, and be willing to sacrifice. Any achievement without the leap, risk or sacrifice is routine, ordinary, and devoid of any flavour worth savouring or living for.

Life is a game, not a dilemma. Play and don't waste time scratching your head. There are no conflicting objectives, no real issues, nothing significant to worry about. We know what excites us. We know what makes our bad thoughts go away. We know we lie when we moan we are tired. We know, but we don't show. Show off a bit.

3 visual scenarios form in my head at any moment in time. The first is me completely submerged in a lake called 'The Ideal yet Unknown and Unexplored Future'. In the second visual I see my feet in these turbulent waters, but head out in the open, real and present world. The third shows me walking along the shore, totally immersed in the known, the visible, the present. The first gives me the greatest rush, kick and excitement. The second feels strange, and the third can sometimes get boring.

But none of these scare me. It's similar to what you would do on a typical day out, on a picnic with friends at Loch Lomond. Dive in, splash around with your feet or run like mad along the shore...the big picture does not change, the scenery will remain as beautiful as ever.

These days it finally feels like the final phase of a journey. When I try to think of how close I have become to the people of Glasgow, I am gently prodded by something inside. Prodded and patted and soon I forget. I am reminded closeness can never be consciously created, anticipated or destroyed. It can only be felt when it arrives. It will overwhelm, but only to the extent required. It will leave unannounced without a bitter taste in the mouth or heart. It will return quietly through the back door and not crash the gate.

You will not have to wait. It will never be late. It is all something like fate. Why judge, why think, why should we rate? We love the feeling, and the waiting. Yes... it's all very great.

Someplace you must be vulnerable, humble and posess a small sweet desire to be in the delirious company of well-wishers. Sometimes you must forget to read signs, and be stubbornly innocent and gullible. Part and parcel of the peaceful mind is the playfulness and fickle nature of the heart. Draw upon it in abundance because it unobtrusively supersedes logic. This is your birthright that paves the path to pure intent, love and energy.
