The Ultimate Analogy
This statement-I feel like this is me. I am sleeping right now. Not really because I want to be, but more because it isn't my turn to move mountains. Maybe my mountains are not ready to be moved. Or maybe I'm not strong enough yet for the mountains that await me. Do you ever get a 'feeling' of your potential? like a picture you can almost see but not clearly....maybe a Polaroid that is only half way developed. You have an idea of what you will be- but you are not sure how you are going to get there? That's how I feel today. Wondering when it will be my turn to become the person who moves mountains...
In case you don't know- the Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies- I can relate anything in it to real life principles. It is the answer to all moral dilemmas. okay maybe not ALL. And yes this does connect...it may be a stretch but I will connect the two concepts here....
So, for those who have been deprived of their basic education. Sarah goes into a Labyrinth to find her baby brother. She knows where she needs to go- to the center of the labyrinth. She gets just inside and she meets this guy. A worm with a British accent (who makes me so mad) But HE is not the object of this post- right after she talks to him she is running and running down a path. She gets frustrated and comes close to giving up hope. she just sees a straight line forever. With no where to turn. But when she stands still and looks a little closer she sees that there are actually pathways right in front of her. They are just camouflaged. She has been running past her opportunities. I think we do this all the time. We are looking for something specific, something we think is the answer and we don't see the less obvious opportunities that are right in front of us. I am walking along my own labyrinth. Just waiting to find the pathway that will lead me to the center of my journey. And when I do find the right path to take, when I wake from my sleeping state, I will move mountains. That's why we are here isn't it? Not just to walk the already paved pathways- but to move mountains from the pathways we are forming. To clear our own trails and pathways. At least I certainly hope so!!
