As the world goes into its long decline, and its long healing, I prepare for the Great Adventure. Though it is beyond my capacity for courage, strength, perserverence or wisdom, nonetheless, the journey must be taken. As Bruce Willis said in DieHard 4.0, when asked why he was udertaking such a heroic and basically impossible task, “because your the guy [that happens to be there]. If not me, then who? If not the inadequate, then what would be the point? If not impossible, why try? A lifetime of training in psychic healing, dharma, and basic hard knocks is all the preparation that I have. Now it will be tested. My own vision drives me, so there is no choice. May all beings come to know and follow their heart’s path, no matter how difficult. That journey is always alone, though the company is impeccable. Onwards….
Preparing….

This can’t help but inspire us as practitioners. We may feel sometimes that we are alone in our respective cities as practitioners, but as a sangha, we are a cumulative power that can’t be denied.
In the Dharma,
