...So in my present incarnation I work in a facility called an Airport, in-fact it’s widely considered to be the “Worlds busiest airport”.
What I find interesting about working in-such a facility is that by definition it is a place of transition on many levels to be sure. The vast majority of people I come in contact with are on their way to one place or another. In that respect it is a perfect microcosm of this experience called “Life”. we are all on our way somewhere.
The opportunity to interact with such a wide and diverse swath of the Earth’s population is to my mind unmatched in a place such as this!
Recently as I have been doing some soul searching, attempting to grasp on a meta cognitive level the concepts “Why am I here?”,” What does this all mean”, “what’s the bigger picture?” to be frank ( cause I sometimes tire of being me. lol ) I find I have more questions than answers. Go figure, right.
One truth is I find find that I have been dealing with a condition that I had mainly attributed to my higher ups in the facility, RCV ( Rectal canal vision ). Once this condition was recently realised diagnosed I gradually came to a memory flash of the antidote, you grab your earlobes and take a deep breath and yank hard and your head should ( theoretical ) slide right out your A**, there by allowing you a wider range of vision.
I came to this rather unsettling revelation about myself through the chance encounter ( and I don’t believe in “chance” per se. ) with a traveler, who was in a talkative mood and I found myself in a rather receptive frame of mind. Universe has her ways, does she not!?!
This traveller proceeded to give me a brief synopsis of his life, which to my mind was/is quite an accomplished one. He’s aviation professional, to include being a life long aircraft pilot (What are the chances of meeting such a person in an airport,right?) who has travelled extensively throughout this planet and of course has had more adventures than the “average” person can imagine, seen things both wondrous and horrific.
Basically what he told me was that after a life time of privilege he had been wrestling with questions as to his/our purpose here and he who is my senior in age had come to a few conclusions on the matter. One of the things he told me was that “this” (experience)is not the end, merely a state of transition and that the odds of my/our “being” an accident and/or of no value was mathematical incalculable!!
He spoke of horrors that he had witnessed in various parts of the world that are happening Now, in such vivid and graphic detail that I believe it imprinted in my mind, that “There for the grace of Universe go I!!”
I took away from our brief yet poignant talk many things, many of which are still unfolding as I type now. One was to be in the attitude of “Gratitude” in my daily walk and to stop the habit of taking my “being” if you will, for granted! A case in-point was witnessing a solider walking with a prosthetic leg through the airport carrying a heavy backpack and just taking for granted that I have both of mine. Another takeaway was to pull up my “big girl pants” ( his words ) and get on with it. Ask the question “How can the unique being that is I be of service, to my fellow man, to the world??” Lastly for this installment anyway is/was dealing with the insidious nature of F.E.A.R in our psi-key, that can cause us to dwell in the land of limiting beliefs ( Adventures not had, goals not even attempted, Woulda, coulda, shoulda. )
So I guess what they say is true “when the student is ready the teachers will appear.”
Thank you for hanging in there with me.
Namast`e
