If there is something my heart and soul reeeeeally want for me, goddam! it will keep bringing me stuff and ways to practice getting *that thing* until I do... it softens me a bit toward my repetitive behaviors and all my stand ins, which not for nothing start feeling a whole lot like the time before and the thing before... This may make no sense to you but I think there's something important here for me. So thank you for touching it off! Happy departures! Happy arrivals! Happy travels! Always.

Time, a mindless activity (highway driving) for meditating through the miles. Seems like the pup helped keep you grounded, even reminding you to stop and feel the fear. But this pattern thing, I need to think about that, too. Moving cross country is so huge, and driving across instead of flying is such a perfect way to mull the transition.

There is a lot in here that I hope you'll write about more (soon!). The idea that some of the things I continue to do in spite of "knowing better" might be my Self's attempt to release particular emotions is fascinating. And really offers a whole different way to explore my patterns. I don’t think I ever thought about my patterns in this way. There is a lot in here that I hope you’ll write about more (soon!).

And very cool that you identified it, extended that learning to a bigger issue, and deal with the fear and anxiety around moving. That sounds like a lot of emotional work for one cross-country road trip. Yay for you. Hmmm. Interesting concept.
