A Blank Screen

As I sit here I am trying to think of something to write about and basically my mind is blank. Not a bad thing, just is at the moment. I'm at Day 10 of the intensive portion of Quantum Leap and it's been intense. Not intense that it's been a kleenex session or that I emit fits of whatever, but intense that the focus is totally on me and what are my values, am I living my life from them, and what do I want? My moments have cycled from woohoo!! to "I have the energy of a rock" and everything in between. Totally normal for this type of course.

One thing that I have been doing a lot in this course is getting present to the present moment and staying there instead of camping out in the future. I am present at the torch because that is not the place to let one's mind wander. 5000 degrees of heat is a hello!!!! moment. Even picking a glass rod up at the wrong end at a "paultry" 700 degrees yanks one back from the future pretty fast.

Taking a step back to get perspective and a clear look at what forward looks like is pretty rewarding and gives reason as to why I'm going down this path. I make the decision as to where I want to go and make the moves in that direction and keep moving. How I get there isn't up to me as there's a much greater force in action with angles I haven't even though of. I've had stuff come from out of the blue and it's pretty amazing.

Well my screen on the computer is a little less blank. Does it make total sense? On some level it does.
