As I was updating my LinkedIn profile, I observed and reflected upon how one's spirit travels from the time it's born. Where has mine been before March 1, 1951, and where is it going? There are moments, while seemingly terrifying in the face of the unknown, can be quite the spiritual ride ala my nearly 64 years in this lifetime. Sounds more fun than letting the mystery be. Yet, in the end, all we're left with is the mystery, after all, aren't we?

Quite the food for thought Petra!
So interesting to see how your life has unfolded since birth, and yet there's so much more. I'm thinking of my own now. ;)
Thanks for sharing and delving.
K. :)
WOW, that is SOME life resume, Petra! What an interesting read! I didn't realize you spent so much time living in Manhattan!? I was only there for five years. And yet, it's still my favorite city on the east coast. OMG...I LOVE that city with all my heart!
" Yet, in the end, all we're left with is the mystery, after all, aren't we?"
Amen! And I have to agree with you, while the seemingly terrifying moments in the face of the unknown can be VERY scary, they can also be quite the spiritual ride. And a ride in which we learn some of the most powerful lessons.
Wonderful post, my friend! Love the video clips too. "Celestial Soda Pop, Ray Lynch" - I used to own one of his CD's which contained that song.
Have a super weekend!!

Hi, K.!
To me, as I'm venturing into the third act of my life, I'm not at all afraid, but excited and curious. I've lived (not like a celebrity or rock star), but in a way that's been challenging and rewarding.
Looking back at your life, must give you the same feeling of satisfaction, K. :))
I know, Ron! My ex and his family were Manhattanites; thus, spent most of my life in Manhattan, literally. We should have lived in Manhattan, considering, but wanted that home in the burbs.
Now, would I love to live in Manhattan!
Isn't Ray Lynch brilliant? New Age music first appeared on the radio around the mid-80's for like an hour on a Friday night. While I was recovering from my car accident, I know that it helped in my recovery~
