Drove from Guadalajara to Maravatio today en-route to the Mariposa Butterfly Reserve. Funny how timing works out in this crazy and weird thing called life. Tomorrow I'll be knee deep in butterflies and tonight I had a conversation that is likely a necessary contribution to my own personal metamorphosis. I'm excited for the road ahead!

There is indeed no going back now... I've truly become cragfast... as a good friend of mine used to always say, onwards and upwards!

In my experience, there are things out there in this world that can make you feel so deeply in the Dark, yet at the same time, make the Light crystal clear. I'm grateful for the light that guides me down this road and continually reaffirms the Truth that I have always known somewhere deep within myself. I'm grateful to those that shine the light, even if they know not what they do. I'm so grateful to be on this journey dancing this silly dance and singing this sorrowful song... and being human.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuh

Gotta love the classics ;-) they hold true today, more than ever.
