You Are The Laboratory

You are the laboratory 

   and everyday is an experiment.

Go and find what is new

   and unexpected.

- Joel Elkes

Life is a laboratory.  Every experience we have is an opportunity for learning and growth.  Every conversation is an opportunity for relationship, reflection, and intimacy.  When we share our feelings, we find companionship or a new learning.  

Sometimes we find disinterest, lack of understanding, or rejection.  These are also opportunities.  We don't all dance the same dance.  We can accept the differences in each other and still choose not to be together.  

We may also find companionship; a spiritual family member.  The wonder of meeting someone who understands our feelings, vibrates with similar energy, and wants to know us at a deeper level.

I have always treasured these moments.  I have given my life for these moments.  They always give me the courage to continue my journey into the depths of becoming known and knowing.
