Though you are sequestered, keep your energy active. Though you might be enjoying a level of restfulness or thinking of this as retreat, do not let your energy slide down to that of neutral. Keep the motor running and in gear. Don’t shift into neutral.

Dear fellow roadie,

In the first days of October last year I drove I-40 West from Alabama to San Diego via Oklahoma City and Sacramento. It was a beautiful fall drive and one of it’s greatest pleasures, that I mentioned in an article at that time, was that most of the trip I had sunrise ahead of me and sunset directly in my rear view mirror. A friend reminded me of that today.

Sunset in the rear view mirror is a wonderful metaphor, isn’t it? In the first place, it’s a great image for letting things go.

We’ve all heard people say the U.S. financial system must come down, and the old government systems, too – in fact all the old systems – must fail. We may have heard ourselves saying these very things. (more…)
