This past week I received my manuscript back from the agent who provided lots of feedback – suggestions for making it better. It threw me for a loop. I think I was expecting a response something like, “The book is brilliant, we’ll have it published in no time!”
It reminds me that there needs to be a balance between heaven and earth. I tend to live up high, inspired by spirit and overflowing with optimism. In the world of spirit, things are done the moment they are conceptualized. In this world however, time is a factor, as is concrete work.
Today I remind myself that my feet are on the ground and that instant manifestation of my dreams is not necessary – may not even be that fun if you think about it. The agent acted as my earth. For that I am grateful.
