The Cup Of Opportunity

What a great opportunity to practice patience in my life by cleaning all the dusty items from the Black Rock desert. The dust storm sure put me in a tailspin, and I had to just let it go and pack as fast as I could before my tent blew away. I forgot to stake it down and I paid the price for my absent-mindedness. The weather is so unpredictable in this crazy environment and I knew this but did not listen to myself. I was more upset with myself than the storm itself. I had to leave a bit early because of the stress and no private place to sleep. I had to ask so many people to get a ride and was feeling hopeless after around eighty people said they couldn’t help me. I kept telling myself to have faith and not give up, and then I surrendered, knowing I would find a ride, and then the last person I asked was the blessing I needed. I felt so relieved  I could finally go home to my safety net of peace and solace. When I have the attitude of strength and fortitude, things go the way I want them to. If I gave up as many times my brain told me to I would be the man I am today. I have forged through some strong trials and tribal forces that I never believed I could make it through. This is why I continue to be the beacon of hope to many people in recovery. It has not been easy, but it has been worth all the work it took to make this nomad become grounded in any situation. I love that I have been to many places that are beautiful but intense. These diverse environments have been such a blessing from the Mother Earth Goddess and all her glory that outshine any negative viewpoint I may be stuck in. Please grant me another beautiful journey with your guidance to the chalice of abundance of a full clean life.
