It’s interesting to note that when one is embarking on a new journey, and getting ready to sail a new sea… that it might be helpful to take lessons in sailing. But then one realizes that quite possibly, it’s not the new sea that provides the journey… but in building the sturdy boat.

Hello to my long-lost Hiro. Thank you for your beautiful posts!

We have just put our house up for sale and have no idea where we’re going. We move quite often and I have a simple process – I trust that the right house will be waiting for us once ours is sold. BUT every time we enter this process, it’s as if we get a big challenge from the Universe. Everything happens at the last moment and each time we need to trust that we are being looked after as long as we’re open to whatever is out there and don’t try to set fixed parameters. It’s very scary stuff, but jumping off the house selling/house buying cliff seems to work out pretty much okay.

This time around we’ve been looking at two particular houses on the internet and I’ve just had a dream which clearly showed me these two houses aren’t right, but that the perfect one will lead us to spiritual growth and right sustenance. Just wish the dream had given me the address of this home, lolo.

What an inspiring post. I love the sense of “fear-is-not-just-okay, it’s-magical-ness” that I got from reading this post. Thank you for your perspective-shifting writing. And thank you to Laurie Foley for alerting me to your wonderful blog!

Beautiful and practical.

When you said “Energy that’s flowing in its pure form is always liberating,” I immediately felt that sense of liberation.

You are a gift, Hiro. Thank you.

I especially love what you mention about taking care of your health and waking up at the same time. When you are very stressed and worried, you tend to let these things slide and then start losing the capacity to judge situations as well as you could. Great tips!

I am facing the same fears this year, since I will leave my job next spring to follow my dreams. I don’t know why I’m surprised that fear keeps coming up and up and up .. layers .. (I guess I forget and think that once one is gone, that is all.) I am sustained by yoga and meditation and gratitude – and community. I am also learning to trust myself more.

Thank you for this post – I look forward to the rest of the series.

At first, when I think about preparing for a journey, its a strange concept. I’m apt to go jaunting off without a thought, realizing partway in I’m off again.

But really, I just need to lift up and look from a higher place to see there has been a much longer preparation. I have constructed my life over the last 20 years so I have many of the practices you have named embedded in my daily life.

I have lived at the edge, jumped off it, fallen on my face numerous times. That process has taught me that I always manage to figure it out. There aren’t wrong paths, just lessons that increase my readiness for the next phase of the overall journey.

Resiliency sustains me. Continual practice to increase my capacity to meet change with curiosity. Meeting the particularly sadistic tribe of cannibals who will boil you alive and eat you for breakfast with wonder and amazement.

I adore your ability to articulate this metaphor that we share passion for….

We must be on the same wave-length – I’m working on a post on fear too.

It’s been an amazing year for me, facing the fear dragon. I’ve still got a long way to go, but by the end of this year, I hope to be in the same position as you – quitting my job and launching full time into my dream.

I am definitely sustained by community – both in person and on-line.

Dear Hiro,

Thank you for “Sailing the Unknown Sea.” I’m not sure how many parts will be in the series, but this post came at a perfect time for me and a dear friend of mine. I am on the precipice of a life changing decision, just waiting to take that final inhale and jump. I’ve dropped the “normal” life to be an artist, and have made that work for me, so this should be a piece of cake, right? If only… Each decision carries such different weight, different nuances.
I have forwarded this to my friend, and I look forward to your next post.
Thank you again.
