The Path

I remember following Boyd Varty's 40-days and 40-nights podcasts last year, from 4/2 to 5/11/2020.  It was one year ago, today, I noted this when listening to his podcasts. Still profound, after 365 days...

Just because we’re on A path, doesn’t mean we’re on OUR path.  We have a goal, an idea, a career, a rational life plan that we’ve polished from start to finish.  But all of these, while still very useful and necessary, can hide the tracks of our deeper path.  And while it’s not as comforting as having a predictable plan for our lives, if we can learn to listen - truly listen - to our authentic selves, we can find our true path.

My name is Boyd Varty.  I think of myself as an artist of experience.  My passion is to create transformational experiences for myself and others as a way to explore what it means to truly love.

My aspiration is to live on what I'd call as the track of your life. To me, this is to live courageously toward the discovery of what you're called to and what life asks of you.

When I was a safari guide, I used to have a joke about photography.  Cameras ruin amazing moments in nature.  With a camera, suddenly there was this thing that needs attention between you and the experience. 

Solitude re-collaborates value and time.  My solitude has helped me understand the difference between loneliness and longing and which one I actually had.  Most of my life has been somewhere else, with more important things to do.  Or thinking it was happening over there...  I like it here where I've finally stopped.  I'd like to stop more often.
