Way over Yonder

This life I am currently leading is a deliberate choice.  Some might consider it rainbow chasing or (shudder) escapism, but it is really a journey to a place we all desire and we know exists.  For some, the path is through a religious belief and living the life proscribed by that religious belief and for others it is living a life of principal based on values and the personal integrity to commit and live by those values.

In the words of Carole King from those simpler days of the late 60's

Way over yonder is a place that I know
Where I can find shelter from hunger and cold
And the sweet tasting good life is easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound

The hunger and cold  can be quite literal .  I am here in Florida and it is a heck of a sight warmer than Ontario and I have shelter from hunger through the fruits of a lifetime of effort and work and a really smart financial manager who takes care of the funds so much better than I.  It can also be a metaphor for the companionship and food for the soul we all seek and deserve and through that we find and realize the sweet tasting good life.  Way over Yonder that 's where I'm bound,

A friend recently reminded me of a line from Dr. Wayne Dyer " Have a Mind That is Open to Everything and Attached to nothing."  In that journey Way Over Yonder, I am learning that you can make the ride but attachments to old ideas of what makes the sweet tasting good times elusive and difficult to recognize.   It is only through being open and leading with mind AND heart in a fearless quest so we find that shelter , that companionship and warmth of love and acceptance in places we would never have looked with our previous eyes.

I chose to make my journey on a 900 lb. 95 cubic inch Harley making friends through the places I go, through my social networks like BON and Facebook and I have more roads to travel to get there but the journey is rich and full of joy.

May be tomorrow I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day
And the sweet tasting good life is so easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
