Trip of a lifetime

So I am on the trip of a lifetime. I am overcome by the beauty of nature and how easy it is to lose sight of what is important in life.  Driving through this scenic road I am incredibly humbled by the awesomeness of creation and how human beings will do everything to connect to nature.  It takes courage to pursue this call to “commune with nature.”

As we zip through these gorgeous little towns I wonder about the lives they live everyday.  Do they feel that they are a part of something bigger or grander than the little or expansive space that they occupy in time? Or it is just me who is so overwhelmed by the vastness of the space that is around me?

Lately, I feel an out of this world type of urge to respond to an inner calling.  I am scared of what it means. Usually I can take decisions easily but I find that reaching for greatness takes a lot more than I thought – than I think – that I possess.

One thing is clear.  This life that I am living is the trip of a lifetime and wouldn’t it be wonderful if I lived it extraordinarily!
