The Wizard Knows

I was hoping to get some pictures up today but the computers are just not cooperating. I've been feeling really down and out lately and can't seem to keep the negativity out of my mind. I've attracted plenty of mishaps, wrong turns, and obstacles as a result. A bump on the road sticks in my mind instead of sliding off my back. More focus and awareness will help me change that.

We've stopped in Sydney for a few days and both of us are already frustrated. Sydney has not carried good things my way in the two separate times I've been here. We'll leave here as soon as I can convince Rochelle to move on and then it's north to Byron Bay, the land of magic and healing. My English friend Danny is still there and I'm looking forward to the reunion. I met him at Burning Man and learned he was coming to Oz one day after me but we haven't really had a change to hang out over here.

Send me love. I really need some right now. I haven't felt this down the whole time I've been here. The last few months have been up down up down and the swings are hard to handle sometimes. However, it's part of the traveling game and I understand that. I never back down from a challenge and this roadtrip has many lessons to teach me if I'll stick with it. As I said in my last post, I have no doubt that I'm on the right path at this moment in time and that doesn't change now that I'm struggling. "Every problem holds a gift in its hands." I can't remember who said that but it's something I keep in my mind every time I hit a wall.

Judging from the rapid ups and downs so far, I should have really positive things to say in a few days. Let's hope so.

My instrument of benevolence.

  1. Hey Finch,
    Great photo! . . . and what's with that mystical little cloud puff at the top of your didge? . . . just awesome!
    I wanted to send LOTS of love and light your way, particularly during your time of extra need. Whenever I feel the way you describe (which of course we all feel, every now and again), I find therapy in seeking out and helping someone else who appears to need a bigger boost than me (which in turn teaches us more about ourselves than we thought we already knew, and reaps us boatloads of satisfaction, to boot). From what I know of you, my guess is that you often find yourself on the same beam . . . so consider this, what may seem like advice, to just be a reminder instead.
    Stay strong, and always remember to listen to the bells, Brother.
    Peace, Love, Light & Godspeed,
    Jux

    all you need is love! love..

    Love is all you need.

    hopefully the tune of that song, and the love i'm sending to you now will cheer your spirits even for just a moment, because sometimes that's all you need!

    i trust that in Byron Bay you'll feel better, but don't let your mind trick you into believing that the negativity comes from Sydney- its all in your mind and u know it. you create your world, so make it magical.

    LOVE,
