Substituting FEAR with LOVE

Most of the people stopping next to us think that we are crazy to ride alone, two ladies alone in our Country where crime are at the top of everyone’s conversation topic list. We must be crazy. Not knowing where we’ll sleep at night, not knowing where our next food will come from, where will our water come from? Its been a while since we chose to lead this lifestyle and with it came a sense of freedom as well as a sense that only good lies before us. I don’t have to force my false sense of security to now to know where I am going to sleep tonight on my day no more.
Its been quite a journey to get here where I know that I will be where I am suppose to be tonight when sleep time come and I know that it will be where my angels will look after me and where I will feel the goodness surrounding me. All beings are inherently good, all beings are doing the best that they can at every moment in their lives with aal the knowledge that they have at those moments.
It sometimes feel like yesterday when I dragged and pushed tired Liani to get to the next town to sleep in doors where I felt safe. I have so much love and respect for this friend of mine. She is quite amazing. I come from a family that pretty much live well within the social bvelief structure and things are done and believed the way it has been done and believed for generations on. Its been real standing outside a town with a heavy bicycle to heavy to cycle away from supposedly dangers and its been real realizing that safety and wellness come from inside one self. Its been real letting go of beliefs that I thought made me who I am. I thought, there it is, I thought. A belief is just a thought that we keep on thinking isn’t it? The thoughts that became beliefs to my parents made there mark in my personality and now I want to change. I was living my life fairly unconciously but not unaware of my conciousness. It felt as if life happened to me and that I must just play my part and I’ll find the happiness and success in the house, car and dog that I will own later on by going to work diligently. Relationships with people and circumstances happening in my life was the mere result of stories that I told myself as I grew up safeguarding my vulnerable self striving for harmony and love.
A good place to stop presented it self to us and we stopped to let the dogs run free for a while. I love these stops. Its great to reflect thoughts that I had with Liani. Her input and her thoughts while she was riding is always refreshing and gives me an insight into the simplicity of how things just are. Dante and Katryn are running wildly after a mouse or some other small animal running in tunnels amongst the grass. It must be quite an exciting adventure for them too. Like us, they too don’t have that confort zone called “home” like many others. They also don’t know where they will sleep tonight or how big there new friend will be when we get invited to sleep at someones home. Through observing them I have learnt a lot about living in harmony with all beings. They never really do something in over exageration mode. They love and they want to be loved...amazing!!
