I&#8217;ve just been thinking lately about life, my life, I&#8217;ve been so inactive here, and having recently retired thought that would not be the case. Yet it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I&#8217;ve been thinking about why. If anyone got here from the main site, you&#8217;ll know I have an inner voice, and a lot more about me as well. For all that, I&#8217;ve had, well, at times an incredibly difficult life. One son took his own life just over 22 years ago, the other died 8 1\/2 years ago. So it&#8217;s just me. As has been the case for most of my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My inner voice has been with me all of my life though I didn&#8217;t know she was there until I was in my late 40&#8217;s. That&#8217;s in stories below and on my main site. She&#8217;s told me so much about what is coming, and that has always been &#8220;soon&#8221;. But at my age, soon isn&#8217;t really with meaning anymore. I know that soon to her is different than it is to me. But I&#8217;m at an age where I don&#8217;t actually know how much time I have. She still says a lot. That may be true. But I still wonder why me. Why did those light events, the awakening experience happen to me? She&#8217;s told me why, that I have things to do, that I will do. But here I am and none of that has actually manifested. Yet, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The events themselves were so powerful, I have no doubt of the truth I saw, felt, in them. I don&#8217;t want to doubt that what she says is coming, will. But I do. I thought all of that would be here long before now, but she still says the timing is perfect. I don&#8217;t really have much choice but to believe her. I know her essence is pure love, I know what that feels like, I felt it in those light experiences. I want that. Very much. I want to be about that now as she&#8217;s explained it to me. I have always loved having something to look forward to in my life, I&#8217;m never happier than when I do. So, maybe I&#8217;m troubled that the beginning will take that from me. I don&#8217;t think so, but it&#8217;s possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things are so horrible in this world right now. I could have an effect. I want to. In some ways, I think I need to. She says I will. I guess I can&#8217;t imagine anything worse than coming to end and not having done what she says I will. That&#8217;s not a fear so much as a profound disappointment. Potential disappointment, I have to hedge because she is so persuasive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I wait, still. She, as I&#8217;ve noted elsewhere, sings to me, often I wake with a song in me, lately that has been Born This Way. Specifically, I keep hearing, throughout the day &#8211; &#8220;You&#8217;re on the right track, baby, you were born this way&#8221;. And I know I was. I&#8217;ll be ecstatic when the track is actually my path and I&#8217;m walking it. Or when this is over. I guess I&#8217;m okay with either option. I&#8217;ve seen a lot, observed a lot and I know that is part of why I came, but I do feel there&#8217;s more. I&#8217;m waiting for that still because I was born this way. All thanks to Lady Gaga for the lyrics that give light to my path. And Jenna who keeps me on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, an odd post maybe.
