What Is The Top Of The Mountain

The poster says:  The top of one mountain is always the bottom of another.—-Marianne Williamson

Some days, you wonder whether you are doing the right thing for your life or for your family, or, if a business owner, for your business.  We all have times when we doubt ourselves and our circumstances.  

I saw this poster the other day and I puzzled about it for a while.  If you look at a physical mountain, it is often true that the top of a smaller mountain is the beginning of a larger mountain.  You can choose whether to climb the small one only or climb both and achieve the satisfaction of getting to the top of the higher mountain.  At some point in the physical world, you will run out of taller mountains.  

If you look at the every day setting of goals, smaller goals are also mountains that lead to larger mountains.  Every peak that we achieve becomes the valley for our next goal.  We have an expression, “making mountains out of mole hills”, and it applies as we grow and live and achieve.  For some of us, we still do not know what the top of the mountain is going to be or how it will look.

A New Time For Being Human

 

It is not enough to be able to drop your body
as easily as a bathrobe, take flight like the eagle,
enter the hollow hills, talk with angels, and
dance among the stars.

We must make the return.

We must live in this world and be gardens
for the dreams that want to take root in it.
~ Robert Moss, Dreaming True ~

The winter has dragged on, and on.  And, it feels like it is birthing something new for us.  It feels like we are moving from a time of density to a time of lightness, on all levels – the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

I know that I am changing.  I can feel it in my body and my head.  I feel the expansion in my heart.  An expansion that tells me to look at the other parts of the story when I am upset at something that I judge to be an injustice or a hurt or a problem.  And, my body relaxes.  

I love this quote from Robert Moss’s work.  He says that as much as we’d like to be elsewhere, we must be here – present and contributing – to this life.  It is what we make it.

Many blessings,

Judy
