The S Curve 11.03.11

THE S CURVE    11.3.11

I’ve been active all my life.

Running graduated into marathons.

Backpacking turned to mountaineering

and a trip to the French Alps.

Lately, it’s just been staying fit.

Lifting weights 5 days a week,

hour long treadmill sessions.

But these last few weeks my back has become a problem,

minor at first then progressively worse,

until just getting out of a chair, I paused before completion.

So calls were to a friend who’s had multiple back surgeries.

“Who’s your rack & crack” guy? I posed.

Once told I picked up the phone, surprised I was when the Dr. Answered.

The receptionist had called in sick.

I not only got an appointment, I got in that very morning.

Took a bunch of x-rays,

discussed my past with back issues.

Come back at three.

Three it was, into a dark room

X-rays on the wall

that’s when I saw the S curve.

Not what you’d expect when you look at a spine

There suppose to be all straight and stuff.

So the prognosis is I’m locked up.

My bodies adjusted so many different ways

it’s just run out of options.

It’s just stuck.

But the good news is we can help.

But there’s work involved so off we go to treatments today.

I already feel somewhat better after yesterday.

Why do I write of this?

I guess because I felt it mirrors my Spiritual life

I was very locked up there not long ago,

from years of just not really knowing where to go.

I’ve got a purpose now to share the journey it’s become.

For the more I share of it the more rewarding it becomes.

People and experiences march into my life

and I see them in such a different light.

So have no fear I’ll march headlong

into straightening out my back.

Just as I’ve charged headlong into finding my Spiritual track.

Again, the perception thing, I could go on and on

about not being able to enjoy just getting up from a chair.

But what’s the point!  It is what it is.

So it’s just time to deal with it.

As we closed our training class last night it was:

Mentally come from where you want to be!

Don’t strive for something from where you are.

That was the takeaway.

So that’s my mindset:

I’m well again, moving freely, enjoying being me,

and being the clown I’ve been for years,

doing some rather insane things along the way.

So whatever comes your way it’s not the problems that befall you.

It’s how you elect to view them and respond to them that matters.

All My Love Always, Keith

From Dr. Wayne Dyer’s Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life

Prioritize your life
by making this the essential and foremost responsibility you have.

Your primary relationship needs to be with yourself,

not your family, business, country, culture, or ethnicity.

Affirm: the number one priority in my life is my relationship with my Source of being.

Go there first, before any other considerations,

and you’ll automatically discontinue demanding more of anything else.

You’ll begin to emulate the Tao effortlessly, living heaven on earth.
