To, me providing shade on a hot sunny day means just BEing who you are! The tree just is, it's not concerned about whether or not it's providing shade, or meant to provide shade, or meant to be carved into a boat. It just IS in all it's tree-ness.

I know that one purpose you have to is to be completely 100% you. There is no other Rose on Earth with your same name, born the same time, with the same experiences and life history (and past life history!)... WHO YOU ARE is amazing, beautiful, and true - even WITH the cooked food and self-doubt and frustration. Can you feel that? You are meant to be you. And if that means going about randomly sampling things 'til something sets you on fire, that's what it means. OR, if it means just BEing until inside, you see your path... oh, wait. THAT'S NOT YOU. LOL (wish we had a happily laughing icon!) To sit still would drive you nuts! Your form of meditation is definitely more active, more about being in the moment AS YOU ACT. That's what gets your engine running! Methinks K wants to be still 'til he finds his purpose, or that's what worked for him, so he thinks it should work for you! But -- you're you! And as wondrous as you are, we really only need the one of you! And one of K!

For some reason, Christine Kane's site just flashed in my mind. Have you read her stuff? It might resonate with you. This post in particular is what came to mind. That's one of her first ones - she has gems all through her site.

I love you!
