A New Day....

It is early morning and the sun is not yet up. Still Waters (my Indian protector guide) and I are sitting side by side cross legged facing the ocean. We have a little fire lit in front of us and an indian blanket draped over our shoulders. I haven't seen him in a while so it's nice to just sit here and feel his presence. He is wearing his usual jeans and white t shirt with no shoes. His hair is long and black with some gray in it.

He grabs my hand and squeezes it. "Why are we here, my friend?"

"I'm not sure really. So many things are happening. So many directions to choose from. It feels like a whirlwind. I know you said a crossroads was coming but this seems like more than just two directions to choose from."

"Are you worried that you will have to give up something to have the happiness you seek?"

"Yes.....I am happy with my life. Adding someone to it is scary. I know it's what I've been wanting but a part of me fears losing myself"

"Believe me daughter....you will be gaining yourself. "

"Will I be successful this time?"

"You're ready...just let it happen." He smiles and pulls me to him with his arm. We touch heads side to side looking out at the water and the fire. The sun starts to peek up a brilliant red on the horizon. He says...

"Look....a new day! Grab it....."

"Thanks Still Waters...I think I will.."
