[legend]

Someone gave me a gift that made an instant difference in my life
I had read Carlos Castaneda and Dan Millman (Castaneda light)
And gone off to find meaning in the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico
Somewhere in the Painted Desert a young women came up to me and handed me what I thought was a rock. She said you need this. I said thanks for the rock
But it wasn’t a rock it was a piece of petrified wood.
She told me this was once a living thing just like me but because it stood still unwilling or unable to move it was turned over time to what looks like stone.

We all need to continue moving we can’t let fear of the unknown hold us still
We are all moving toward death just some know better than others the alternative stay still and risk turning to stone
I feel it in my feet sometimes when I’ve waited to do something out of fear they get a little heavier and I feel as if I’m starting to change.

I took that petrified wood to a jeweler and he cut and polished it
Makes a nice charm when I feel like I’m starting to drag I just look at the charm and say
Not for me baby
Give him the gift of living even if for just a little while
And make sure you tell him you Love him every chance you get

I’m sending some love to the both of you

Much Love
