I love passageways. I love pathways that lead to mystery, beauty, and places not seen before. Pathways take us from here to there. Sometimes they have crossroads, forks in the end that require a decision, and other times they end nowhere. That “nowhere” is still not the same spot you began on through the journey. Life is never about the destination. We learn through the journey, each step leading into another. That’s the greatness. That’s where all the lessons of our timeline reside.
It is one thing to travel on a path alone. It is another to believe that you have been alone on that journey or that the passageway is the only path. Life is an illusion. We are never alone. There’s a higher force drawing us to those unseen places in our soul. There’s not just one path. Sometimes you don’t really know what’s leading you where. That’s life! How you travel that path is more important than what you see at its end. This is why people go on spiritual pilgrimages. There is sacredness in the expedition.
We live in a time of accelerated anxieties and fears for uncertainty. Even though we continue to grow spiritually, we still hold on to the humanness of needing to know everything beforehand. We choose to carry toxicity in backpacks full of grief, discomfort and heaviness. Instead of releasing the things we don’t need we piggy-back them to the next place, adding more into the backpack. Enjoy the process of moving into the mysteries. It isn’t easy. It isn’t always lovely. But, what I am learning is that the path leads you to where you are to go on this life. Uncover the beauty of what’s hidden through walks, hikes, and pathways. Life is too short to be carrying the things we will never control. Walk tall and proud while holding grace, faith and love in your heart! That’s all you are asked to do from the Divine. Have a blessed day!
“No single decision you ever made has led in a straight line to where you find yourself now. You peeked down some roads and took a few steps before turning back. You followed some roads that came to a dead end and others that got lost at too many intersections. Ultimately, all roads are connected to all other roads.” ~ Deepak Chopra
An unknown path calls for me,
pulling me towards
the union
of earth and spirit.
The sigh from nature
draws attention
to the trees,
the ground,
to primitive beginnings.
I want
to remain here
as will and courage
break out from silence
soaring to the Heavens.
I want to sit and lay
among this hearth
where moth and air plants reside
alongside ferns and trees.
I want to stare through God’s canopy
and abide by the simple rules:
The rhythm of leaves shuffling,
falling and disappearing;
the cool wind softly kissing the trees;
the water lovingly teasing the edges of creeks.
But eventually I must go–
I cannot disrupt this existence.
I am only a spectator
in this place,
but I can return
as often as I want,
restoring my spirit
with the ever knowingly force
of divinity in the forest
of all waking dreams.
