Front Door Epiphanies


I paused while standing in front of the door to the townhome in which I live this evening right before entering the house, after a day at work.

I thought, WHAT DOOR WILL I BE ENTERING 10 years from now? How about 20? How about 30 years from now? I envisioned me in an older body, knocking on the door of a family's home, telling them about God, with such a peaceful, happy, loving disposition. I would stay with them for a night and maybe we would talk all night, and laugh, cry, and share our hearts.

I also envisioned, me in an older body, walking into a home that I own, and my kids would be waiting for me on the couch. I had a great day trading the markets that day, I would be walking into the home where my family is. I would be with my wife and kids...still knowing that it is all so temporary, and that I am the soul, and my family all are souls, journeying through life eternally. I hope to have spiritual association wherever I am.

Which door will it be? There are other potential doors I could walk through as well, these two came to mind though. It was very poignant because I really experienced both scenes, and "lives." Neither one would be satisfying if I was not putting my heart in to it. Both would be satisfying if I was. At the last moment, all I have is Hare Krishna. This material world is very dream-like. The only constant is change. We can go within and have peace and knowledge in our heart and soul by humbly bowing down before the source of all that be and saying please let me do right by you.
