4th processing day.
That means that in two days, Saturday 30 April, I begin Dragon Reborn ZP.
That’s what this whole journey has been about. Getting to this point.
Dragon Reborn demands maturity even as it supports you to develop maturity. It demands patience, even as it teaches you patience.
I noticed that I was getting ahead of myself. I was fleeing into the future. Thinking about how cool it would be to run these next two ZP customs that I’ve tentatively designed.
The next 2 months were starting to look onerous.

"Okay. I just need to finish one more stage with Dragon Reborn, and then I can get into the really interesting part."
That’s where the Objectives helped me.
I went back and re-read the DR objectives and realized–was forced to admit–this program already has what I’m looking for right now. I don’t need to anticipate what’s coming 2 or 3 months now, and just get through this difficult, long forced-march of preparation.
This part of the journey is where I need to be right now and it’s good.
The reason I want to run away is not because I’m impatient to change. It’s because I am changing. It’s not because I’m impatient to grow. It’s because I am growing.
So often the fruition of the requests that you, your damn self, made is challenging to receive. That fruition is often uncomfortable.
2 or 3 days into processing, the clouds clear, and I start to remember again. “Oh, yeah. That’s right. That’s what growth feels like.” haha.
And this is my current experience of Dragon Reborn. I kind of love it.
We’ll see where this leads.
