Wanderlust

Have you ever walked down a winding path and thought, "What am I doing with my life?"

Recently, The system known as The Valerian Legion, had an alternate personality known now as Rune Warlöcke, take over and lose treasured items, try to get us to be a lone warrior, essentially in the streets of L.A., Pasadena, San Gabriel, Apple Valley, West Covina and Menifee. This is California mind you.

We survived actually and learned some cool things from it that life is short. In a day you could loose everything! In a week you could loose your goals, people and even own life!

Life really is too precarious to leave things to chance and yet we do all the time. "Life finds a way," as was once said by X-Malcom in the famous Jurassic Park movie most beloved by several system members.

We plan out our lives but do we really live it? That journey that Rune took us on will forever be a reminder of how strong we are and our resiliency to boot!

As a human I struggle sometimes to find a way forward. Each day I discover more uniquess with the world and my system.

Walking down this path do you look left or right?

Do you go forward or back?

Do you sit down on this path and look up at the hawks circling?

There is so many options. Consider that sometimes you have to make a choice and move forward not back towards the trauma that decorates your past.

Your past is still alive but it doesn't have the freedom to hold you back. Trust the healing process. That is what we must do in this day and age. Heal. Grow. Learn. Push forward one step at a time.

"Lead with love and fight oppression with you're fangs and claws." - The Valerian Legion aka The Chaos Warlock aka Vax

This is a quote we created and it still stands strong to this day for us.

If writing in a journal and shredding papers works for you them do it.

If exercise helps go for it.

We want to try Akido and Yoga!

Trusting yourself is the hardest thing to do when your healing. It's also hard to explain how healing looks to others. A lot of people aren't very understanding of what healing looks like.

"Never give up! Never surrender!" - Galaxy Quest

Maybe that reveals our age but I don't care. We all can find truth written everywhere. From movies to books to your own diary entries to podcasts to church whatever denomination you have to sitting in nature hearing hummingbirds flitter among the trees and bushes.

Have faith in whoever. Have trust too. You will survive but remember to see all paths and weigh them before you leap!

Leaps of Faith are necessary otherwise you will find your hubris holding you back.

Never forget that you can always try many paths to healing and that whichever one you fall upon will help you through even getting lost in L.A. like it was for us.

Cest LA Vie Mon Cherie!

So mote shall it be.

Blessed be dear heart!
