Can Barry Come Out to Play?

My unity blog hUmaNITY has an entry this week which I call Child's Play?. Have a read at www.theunityguyblog.com. It might nudge some thoughts and ideas.

Essentially, I have been spending time on going deeper, and yet NOT. I have been seeking a level of simplicity over complexity... feeling a calling towards that.

These past 10 years, in particular, have been an interesting journey. Two marriages and a path of personal discovery that has proven scary, challenging and exhilerating. I probably will share more as I get even more clear on thoughts and ideas.

For now, I have come to an intuitive thought. While I have long felt that I was pretty much "me", I have felt that something at core has been missing. These past few days and weeks, I have been thinking back to when I thought much less and just was, acting upon my true self. We all have those times, our earliest childhood.

What did I discover? A child that dreamed about unity and diversity. A child that dreamed BIG, was an incurable idealist. Audacious. Unconstrained as the wind. I loved wholly. I was fierce with that. I loved thunder and lightning and nature and open skies and big places. I played games that centered around diversity and strength coming from working together. I loved the virtues of love and honour and vision. I was noble, and knew we all were at core.

As I write this, I smile. This is still ME.

So what does this mean?

My adult life has had glimpses and more of this, but it has been constrained too. Still, my adult life has brought skills, talents and abilities that can serve my core passions of the child that was Barry. The shyness is gone. The faith is both emotional and rational now. There is a return to an earned innocence... a belief that the idealism can be so very real.

What does this really mean?

Look out. Be warned. It is going to be an interesting rest of life. :-)

I challenge you to go back to your future. Listen to the early child. Partner the child with the adult and make your life YOURS.

See you on the coolest path. Happy Easter.
