Dearest Reader,
Oh how I've missed you.
How have you been? What form has your journey taken over the past few weeks?
My path has been filled with uneven ground and loose stones, trying to trip me, make me lose my step.
The corner of a circle.
A challenge.
A fall.
A threat.
A moment.
A moment. To remember the Now. Where I find myself in the universe.
So easy to slip and fall in the thorns. Sharp edges all around.
No.
This time, I saw the roses. Just in time. I smelled the sweet scents and touched the soft petals, reminding myself of all the wonderful people in my life. Those who care, about me. Those who know exactly how I feel, all the way across the oceans.
And that there is magic within arm's reach. I need only dance ๐ช
So I danced๐
And here I am, after surrendering.
New goals. New perspective. New freedom.
I found a home for the Wandering Soul. It was here all along.
...
A painting of a dark house. A creaky gate. A dark room. A somber space.
A transient light.
The truth is illuminated.
What you saw was a silhouette. A shade of reason.
With each breath, the dust blows away and reveals a reality of richness. Vibrant colours and endless interpretations.
...
The blanket of heat is striking.
The white walls, tall and proud as the car pulls up.
I open a gate that doesn't creak. I walk to my familiar spot. I take in the nostalgia. I sit with my Shining Star, playing cards and laughing. Reliving a time of happiness. Realising that it never left my side. It merely dreamed.
Being present with the Unmanifested, allowing the perfect breeze and heavenly glow of sunlight hit my face, concluding a shared practice. A sense of belonging, felt only on my mat.
The familiar faces of red fody birds and lush streets of brightness.
The Asian rain, taking me back to when I last set foot on my Little Slice of Heaven.
...
My body is tired. I have listened to the calls for rest, sweetness and love. Now I hear the faint song of energy and Gentle Strength. Grace. Rebirth.
The warm tingling that never left my hands. The smooth strokes climbing up my spine. The rootedness as I sit, listening to what the universe would like to tell me today. Greeting kindly any thoughts and letting them pass and float away.
๐ชท
My mind, is on the cusp of something. Fatigued and healing, but mending the fragments and placing them carefully in the shape of something new.
I take a breath.
And another.
One more. Over and over. Filled with life.
Complete and incomplete.
Perfect and imperfect.
I will continue to touch the waters of wonder and smile. The next stop is my favourite ocean ๐
