feeling philpsophic
Have been carrying around this prose by Hugh Prather since the late 70's or early 80's and it is
so much of what I feel that I thought I'd publish it here. Am off to Hawaii tomorrow and am packing to leave and move from my room here at Dieter's too. On the 29th I should be moving to my new place here in BKK. More about that later when i have stories. Well, back to work on this project for Mandara Spa.
As I look back on my life, one of the most constant and powerful things I have experienced within myself is the desire to be more than I am at the moment-an unwillingness to let myself remain where I am-a desire to increase the boundaries of myself- a desire to grow, improve, accomplish, expand.
I used to interpret this inner push as meaning that there was some one thing out there that I wanted to do or be or have. And I have spent too much of my life trying to find it. But now I know that this energy within me is seeking more than the mate or the religion or the profession, or more even than pleasure or power or meaning.
It is seeking out more of me; or better it is, thank God, flushing out more of me. The past is over and the future is not.
