Greetings traveler! I am pinning my scroll to this board so you may get to know me and share a glimpse into my journey. Might this inspire you on your own! Those close to me know what I have very little memory of my earliest days. I woke up one day in a clearing, with little fabric to hide myself, and surrounded by squirrels and rabbits. I rubbed my eyes, at first in panic, wondering... everything! Where am I? Who am I? Did I even know my name? I set the pity party aside and ventured foreward. I don't have many answers, but I know how to move my feet. Shortly after I stumbled upon an old man. He stood stoic and wise with a cane and beautiful robes. He offered me a bit of guidance if I were only willing to put in some effort. I began to scavange for some acorns, and rabbit meat. I was rewarded greatly with some fresh clothing and a modest sword of wood. Further along, I was able to heal my own wounds. As I began to journey further away from this clearing I faced many challenges. Inclimate weather, beasts that attacked me at will, long climbs up what seemed impossibly tall mountains, and gentle streams to wash the days struggle away. I've been blessed and fortunate along this journey to meet so many great people who offered to walk alongside me during my struggles and triumphs. I found peace with friends, strangers, and my own company alike. Balance. This is the word I told myself, as if a mantra. When something "negative" happened, I learned to see it as an opportunity for growth and learning. When something positive happened, I learned to see it as a reward and a chance to turn it into a new challenge, and when I was over-whelmed or perhaps blessed with a pinch of boredom, I learned to embrace it and hold it in a place I could seperate and empty my thoughts. As I ebbed and flowed my way through these processes I stumbled upon a great house. In the front entrance a Tiger sat patiently. He told me about the Balance I sung to myself. I went further into this house and found a great dragon. In his possession was a scroll. A Shu Jing. I eagerly rolled it out and began reading. That day I made an Orb of Earth, and felt even closer to the universe that had birthed me. My journey began to make so much sense. That inital uncertainty I felt when I awoke in that clearing was so profound now. That was my birth, my great beginning. I studied even more from this scroll, the scroll of the Geomancer. I felt a strong pull. Balance. Life is all about Balance. I hope to never stop learning this fact, and how to hone it, embrace the flows, and with Feng Shui, play with these flows, to help others feel the same joy I do when a path is well balanced. My walk has been amazing, and I know if I continue my teachings, and growing, that my future will always have prospect, hope, joy, failure, and success. I appreciate all of you, for this adventure, for your own adventure, and your ability to endure all of your own struggles and achievements. For a balanced life, is a happy life. Thank you. .TESD. | |
