Opinion of BushOklahoma

Rather desperately seeking an anchor I suspect.  I hope he finds it, I really do. I "knew" my life path at about age 6. He is on the other end of the bell curve, and that must be a challenge that I cannot begin to fathom given my hard wiring and life experiences.  I hope he finds the courage to navigate to a safe harbor, which he so wants right now, even while I am seeking rather more roiled waters.

And at the risk of going a bit too far, simply embracing Christ or any other super-arching figure, is simply not enough. In the end, despite all of that, you are truly rather alone in life, as my Dad among other things wrote to me in a long handwritten letter he wrote to me on my 21st birthday (he also cautioned me that my life was almost certain to be attended by great sadness and anguish from time to time, no matter what, and how right he was - the only antidote is to find the courage to see you way through sensibly).  He was a very wise and sensitive man, and I still "seek" his counsel to this day in my own way when I have a very tough decision to make (and I still have to make them), even though he is long dead (no I don't do seances). That is my judgement having had my rather long spin around the track. There is no substitute for seeking from within, rather than from without.
