When You Need a Bigger Bus

I often think of the metaphor of a bus when I think about how I am being in the world, and about my life.

“Who’s driving my bus?” Is it the scared little kid, or the empowered, resourceful adult? I welcome all “inner parts” to be on the bus, but some of them…well, I don’t want them driving the bus.

Then there is the question of how much I’m carrying on my bus. You know…beliefs, assumptions, physical stuff.

The bus above is a Hay Bus. It is a converted School Bus that a farm in Marengo uses to deliver very large loads of hay to local farms, for horse and cattle feed.

When I saw it, I knew I was given a gift: When you need a bigger bus, it’s time to look at how much you’re carrying around. so the question came to me, for me: What can I offload from my bus, that I no longer need to carry around?

And I offer the question to you, too: What can you offload?
