Episode 23: Goldilocks in Wonderland

EP 23 “How long did we wait for our lives to begin? Believing that everything had to be 'just right', so we could finally relax When you least expect it, when all hope is gone, when you realize that tale will never get pinned on the donkey, when you realize that all the ladders in the world will never reach the moon, when you're tired of trying to catch the wind, kiss your reflection in the moonlit pond, that it was simply a misconception that you were in charge of the stage door, and had to turn the crank on the merry-go- round.” Nancy Neithercut   What is this wanting for MORE?  Is the longing for enough something that we must fulfill or is the Wonderland revealed when the sense of experiencing aliveness with all of it’s arising wants and fantasies the very magic we thought was held in the objects of desire?   What concepts and descriptors are hanging out in the background that propel us to focus on what looks lacking? More, Again, Better, Next?   Perhaps Goldilocks enters the Wonderland when she realizes that the concepts describing what appears wrong or lacking are simply words attempting to capture the mystery she is.
