Baskets

As I dial in with clarity I see three baskets stand before me. I am grateful for the work I was pushed to do to have these choices in front of me. If circumstances were different I would not be looking at these choices as it would have never occurred to me to move beyond where I was standing. I'm grateful, these are all fine choices. For now, I really don't know which basket I will ultimately claim, two absolutely in the Fall and the third possibly when Summer changes to Autumn perhaps just a small bit later. Some baskets can be combined, others not at all. I don't want to say what's in them till the time comes, but for now at least I know to some degree where I'm headed.

One if not all of these will manifest and at that time I will have to make a decision. I'm ok with that, the really hard part is behind me. Although there's much work to do between now and the end of June, I know what I am focusing on and this brings a far less cluttered feeling state which eases my mind greatly. I've been reading a lot of Pema Chodron. She is an ordained Buddhist nun, author, and teacher. My analyst suggested I look into her work. Reading and listening to this women's teachings have been a revelation. I cant help but think of that old quote, when the student is ready the teacher will appear. I'm deeply grateful.

“It's a transformative experience to simply pause instead of immediately fill up the space.
By waiting, we begin to connect with fundamental restlessness
as well as fundamental spaciousness.

Pema Chodron, from When Things Fall Apart
