"Site to
Be Developed." When you see this sign you know
someone is preparing to put up a building of some kind.
It may be an improvement over what currently exists on the
site, or it may do more damage than good. We have all
seen nature destroyed in the name of development.
Think of
yourself as a site to be developed. Remember that
different sites are suited for different types of
development. What is your goal? What resources are
available, and what will best fit your site? Look
yourself over and get a feeling for your site. Ask for
help from developers and landscapers. Then begin
construction. Don't worry about what the sidewalk
supervisors think about the structure you are building.
This structure is going up on your property and you decide
what it will be, or you will find no joy in the life you
construct. It will be someone else's building and you
will be stuck in it.
A project
under development. A white canvas or a hunk of potter's
clay. I offer metaphors to remind you that you can
change yourself and create a more fulfilling life -- if you
remember my mother's advice to make the decisions that will
make you happy. You can create and re-create. This
is not about selfishness, but about authenticity.
How
much can you do with yourself? No one knows. I
know you can be happy. You can be loving. You can
take part in creation and live and work in your heart
zone. There are no limits. What will happen
then? No one knows the details, but I do know you will
have what you need, peace and joy.
