Fertile Paths Through Infertile Times
Posted by Lisa Rosenthal on Thu, Jul 22, 2010 @ 06:22 AM
Fertility is about conceiving. Whether it's an idea, painting, business plan or a child. The definition from Webster's Dictionary is "1. To become pregnant with a child, 2. To take into one's mind; to devise, form a conception of, or imagine. 3. To apprehend by reason or imagination; to understand, 4. To think; suppose
We all reach those places in our lives where it's apparent there is a choice that must be made. The path divides. There are apparent paths, clean, well cleared. There are obviously untrodden paths that one has to look carefully to find and which are rather grown over.
And there are the pathless paths, the ones that don't exist until you clear the way.
When we come to that part of our life, or perhaps the many times that paths diverge and a choice needs to be made, how do we make the choice? What leads us down one path and not another? Is it a decision, an intuition, a well thought out previously 
conceived plan, a message from a past life, a message from a past lover, is it closing your eyes; spinning around and walking blindly forward? How we make the choice can be vastly different each time we need to decide.
So we get to these points, pivotal, life changing, and we stand there, or we blunder ahead. Do we "take into one's mind, form a conception of, imagine, understand, think or suppose"? How we spend our time, our lives, our energy, our heart, those are the biggest decisions we make in our lives.
Sitting quietly is an option.
