A HEALING BUDDHA

Although I’m not sure exactly who this Buddha is I’m speaking about, I do feel certain I have a Buddha healing me. It is more a Buddha of my own creation than an actual incarnation of the Great One. I am not a Buddhist in the traditional sense although I just might qualify because I am a seeker. I am constantly looking for the answers to Big Questions and always trying to get to the truth. I don’t think this makes me unusual—on the contrary, I think it makes me similar to most people because I think most of us are doing the same thing—whether we know it or bother to admit it or not.

My path has been anything but straight and narrow; it has been full of ups and downs and twists and turns. At times my journey has come to an abrupt stop and then somehow restarted from a totally different place altogether.

Where I find myself now, at the inception of my journal, is at the beginning of something bigger as well. I have just been born—or reborn. I have been given a new chance at living. What that means to me is a lot of things but it means especially that this time I don’t want to blow it. I want to do things right this time—to use my time for making a difference—I want to be on the good team!
