The uncontrollable forces of humanity
Let the unpredictable take hold of your senses
To breathe on its own
A blink
Exposing the deepest roots of humanity and self-realization
Isn’t that it
Isn’t that what this ride is all about
Meaning
In the pits of the soul
The trenches of the mind
The depths of reality and imagination crashing in an explosive bang
Huh
That was something
Grounded once again
Level
Balanced
Serenity
Walk on water, taste the air, feel the force of wind
A power so much greater than I
It must be the sign I seek
A creator
A manifest destiny
Looking, looking, looking
Where is that big moment that answers all the questions?
Maybe it is in the beauty of a newborn
The soft touch of animal
The bit of wisdom from the elderly
The peaceful look of the rising sun
The stillness of the moonlight
Maybe I am looking too far
Like a traveler without a destination
A journeyman without a map
The home I seek lies on the steps I take
All around, it is all so familiar
This is the place
This is the time
The poignancy of life is a profound and delicate flower
It blossoms so infrequently in the most ideal conditions
With a sprinkle of love
A dash to compassion
A flurry of honesty
A nurturing of sunlight
It is born inside all of us
Nestled in its womb
A heartbeat away from exploding on a journey through the universe
First stop, purpose
It’s a confusing place
So many wandering, looking, not sure what it is they seek
This stop is crowded
Not for the weak or timid
It is honored in is irreverence for goodness
All creatures unite
Next stop, knowledge
Knowledge is offered with a price
Some will tease it with gold and jewels
Others offer a quiet place on the hill void of pressure
This stop is filled with all the scents of Mother Earth
From here, one direction turns to many.
Some seek explanation, others continue on
Next stop, understanding
It all serves a better good
This means could end
We have become the protectors
Now nurtured, we are free to see our place
The stops become fewer
Distances longer
Weariness sets in
Next stop, Reflection one mile
Slow, ease in and step into the house of mirrors
No directions
No depth
Only self-awareness
Each line on your face, a story
All those you have left behind smile behind you
Drawn in, you don’t want to leave
There is comfort in these memories
A fragile stability to all of this
“A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.”
-James Allen
We all have a journey.
Some have a bucket list, some a mission and others are just content being ignorant assholes that are so narrow-minded by prejudice and stereotype that they contribute to the hatred in our society.
Throughout this journey of life, we will all get lost. Each day is a path of twists and turns, corners of darkness and visions of light. If a day did not go by where we thought for a brief moment, an end would simply and shorten the madness we love and hate so much we would not be human. In the end, the journey is about something. It is a quest for moral right and a rendezvous with destiny.
It all works out though.
Some have a short journey while others are long and full of evolutionary change.
Life is never about you!
We all find what we are looking for and in the end, it is never about us. Think about it. Is it about your daughter who looks at you each morning with her baby blue eyes and smiles at the sight of your morning glow? Is it your partner for life who you sacrificed your soul to spend every breathing day of your life with? Is in your mother and father who led by example and shaped you into the person you are? Is it the refugee camp that is suffering from death and disease that you have dedicated yourself to saving? Is it your true love who soul was brought to you in an act of fate? Is it the music and lyrics that touch millions of lives and turn a lost soul away from the bridge to live one more day?
We are here with purpose.
We are given the gift of breath.
What fascinates my mental being is how some of us choose to get lost in the sea of uncertainty. All too often we guess and second guess our own purpose in life without accepting that we are fulfilling it through our passions, our actions, our unselfish hand and ultimately the lives we help bring meaning to.
We are all granted the ability to be angels on earth with a chance to hold out our hand and offer shelter to those in need.
I love that we all have gifts and talents. Some is through song, some strength, some compassion but at the end of the day, the gifts we use are not for us, not for self-fulfillment or any personal pleasure. They are for the stranger in the street, the homeless child, the girl with the broken heart, the sick friend.
Find your purpose and share it.
It’s all about love
How amazing is a life where we have this much power to help others. No matter what our talent, no matter what we say or do it is all guided by one common force that brings us all together; love.
Love is and will always be the answer to life’s unanswered questions. No matter which direction we go, love is all around us.
How can you not wake up each morning and smile with that thought dancing in your head.
