Sometimes
when the New Year rolls around, and I am deciding whether or not I really want
to invite myself to a new path for the months ahead, the details of the plan can
get a bit unrealistic. It occurred to
me that if I share a short plan with a friend I might be a bit more committed
to it and allow the plan to become more “at home” in me. After I took this first
step I realized that hearing myself say it out loud made the unfolding of it
even more concrete and honest. For me
the whole point was simply taking another personal step on the path that leads to
greater wholeness, compassion and God-connection. Sharing it with someone may
be yet another expression of what Ram Dass says, “We’re just walking each other
home.”
