Perhaps I am fighting against mine at the moment, perhaps I should take some deep breaths and be grateful and accept and move forwards, and not struggle to understand. Trust the universe, as you say. But how hard that is at the moment! I often find that I understand these things intellectually, but often I am lost emotionally (I also find it a very lonely experience), and then I am not sure which way to go. …but then again, perhaps that is my destiny? g x MESSAGE FOR MARIA

Thank you Maria for your response; and you are exactly right in what you are saying: destiny is not a question you can answer by reason or intellect alone.

Perhaps I am fighting against mine at the moment, perhaps I should take some deep breaths and be grateful and accept and move forwards, and not struggle to understand. Trust the universe, as you say. But how hard that is at the moment!

I often find that I understand these things intellectually, but often I am lost emotionally (I also find it a very lonely experience), and then I am not sure which way to go.

…but then again, perhaps that is my destiny?

I work three months on a piece, then I need to have an equal rest. I always did like that. That's why winter is generally the best season for me to create. Then I stay still, liberating, until I go out more in summer. I always proceeded like that. March is always the beginning of an introversion for me. But since I loose the man I love, things are different. It seems I put my heart in jail. But I can spread love anyway, in and out. It seems I can't love someone particularly, but all. That's just that I'm a little bit like that "demon" woman. If I listened to me now, I will give. That's why I'm doing. Under all my skill is a person that want the world to shine. That's all I want. Indeed I have no real plan. As for now, I don't really know my new language very well. I follow the signs. I need to change one thing that restrain me for long. I know I need to change that thing, for a long time. I just have to tell myself, this would change the world. But i'm too coward for this. No good, no step. ;p “Each one at his own rythm”

A week is not enough for me, and maybe for many artists. I work three months on a piece, then I need to have an equal rest. I always did like that.
That’s why winter is generally the best season for me to create. Then I stay still, liberating, until I go out more in summer.
I always proceeded like that.
March is always the beginning of an introversion for me.
But since I loose the man I love, things are different. It seems I put my heart in jail.

I'm more confuse by your questions than by the quote even. You said "Is not what you decide that is your destiny?" but then you ask "Can we escape?" If you believe you can decide your destiny, there's no need to escape. Is there? I mean what are you escaping from; what you decided on in the first place? How do we know what is our destiny? Is not a question you can answer by reason, or intellect alone. When you're presented with a challenge you know it is "your" destiny because it's been presented to "you". what you need to decide is do I accept this challenge as my destiny or not? How do you decide this,you can think it over and over again; you can try to rationalize, see the pros and cons of the challenge; you can ask people's opinions; this will probably take more than a week. Your other option could be trust your instinct, your gut feelings; trust the Universe, God; believe this is "your" destiny; a week is more than enough time, you can do this in a moment. (G)) UK

The path has already been drawn long before our creation, it's whether we accept it or not that makes the journey worthwhile. I'm sick of going against the current, fighting the inevitable so now I'm ready to surrender and embrace my destiny. It's about time I stopped worrying about the route I'm taking and looking down at my feet, trying to control each step they take when I could walk with my head help up high and enjoy the scenery.
