Reality



Reality (Eng.)/ Réalité (Fr.) Noun
  • the state or quality of being real
  • resemblences to what is
  • a real thing or fact
  • something that exists independently of ideas concerning it.
  • something that exists independently of all other things and from which all other things derive.
I've been on the wagon for a month. It was just time for me to take a break from wine. I wanted to miss it again.  Or perhaps I am getting drunk off of the reality of my upcoming changes. This lucidity has allowed me to tune into the universe's vibrational hum as I tackle fearful decisions, and knock off items on my to do list with wild abandon. I have no doubt that the celebratory wine will be well deserved soon enough.

"When a lot of change is happening, or a new dynamic is presenting itself, I want to be deft and aware. (When I put my plans in place to up and move across the country) I was a reality junkie. I wanted to be aware and take it all in.  The high was coming from the soberness of being able to experience every sensation. I can't imagine being like this again for a while... every once in a great while you get the sensation that you are exactly where you need to be, with razor sharp clarity, and you want to hold onto it and savor every last ounce of it. I can't think of anything more refreshing. It took a lot of faith to get here."
- Theo Enzo Aalto, since 1976

I forgot that you had posted this yet after reading my own words again I remember this conversation fully. It was important to read that again tonight; amazing how the Universe bolsters you when you need it. I love you, Jules.
