Why do women need a movie starring Julia Roberts to get a sense that ordinary is simply boring? Or that life was meant for something more than what we've settled for half the time? I don't know but seems to me that we as women need to truly define what our lives mean to us. Our journeys are not all the same but we certainly should be looking to achieve the same ultimate goal; to find spiritual enlightenment and be all that we can possibly be.
Sure I may be going off on a bit of a rant but I almost at least twice every day; wish that this world was where it was hundreds of years ago. When we depended on the earth and nothing else. We cherished her, we protected her, and we let her take us whatever she wanted to. Where instinct was all we knew. Now we will actually pay other people (who half the time are not in tune with their spirituality) to help us reroute us back to that instinctual path. Listen it's hard on me everyday when I have to go to class and sit there pretending like any of the information they give me is of value to me. I sure as hell shouldn't have to pay someone to teach me about anatomy. Everything is about money and how much you make, that's what the root of our success in this society depends on. It's maddening and getting a bit old now. It wasn't meant to be this way. Degrees, applications, cars, concrete, and machines everywhere like if our life depended on it. When we die will our degrees and everything we worked so hard for come with us too ? Could I take my damn social work degree in the land of the dead? What would I say? What would the others say, having already lived their lives and looking down or up at our current ones?
It's curious to think of, no ?
I think so. I know that at the end of the next grueling semester I will have my degree and probably never look at it again. For my destined path takes me else where and it doesn't require a degree, but a soul. I'm looking forward to continuing my journey of self discovery and spiritual awakening. I want my children (whenever I have them) to have a meaningful existence as well. I couldn't have them believing as I did many many years ago that money, power, and success are on the same plain field. I'm wondering; what does every one else think? Not really just a womens issue but really everyones.
