And then go.
Several days later, the impression that this quotation marks a turning point for me has become deeper. Wat is so freeing and enlivening about it?
It's the fact that nothings is presupposed and nothing is suggested as a worthy destination. "Where do I want to go?" Oh, I see now that I do not want this "Where" to be fixed in any way, I do not want it to have a name, not even joy or happiness or freedom, not even love, not even Oneness, not even God. When I ask myself, "Where do I want to go?" it is quite clear now that I have always tried to come up with something that can be identified. But it's really just a palpable sense of vastness that is calling there, "boundless intimacy" is as close as I can get to it in words. Yes, carrots are tasty. I love the real thing more. The real thing is what makes those carrots dangle there, lovingly planning for me to find out what's at the other end of the string and stick.

As soon as I received Heavenletters from a friend, they resonated with me. I wanted to share them with my friends because they state so eloquently how to deal with some of the more difficult situations in life and career. In order to move on from them --- and to face other creative and momentous challenges -- change is necessary.
There are some tough questions in life, and these letters get to the heart of it all. They are profound, my reality, and they are sound advice for those that want to have a happy, fulfilled life. They are guides to finding our own personal truths.
