Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding.
Kahlil Gibran
There have been some of those who I have met along the way, that have already stepped off their path either to rest or journey no farther. My journey continues.
Another year is passing me by, and it has been a period for 'breaking my shell'... transformation, forgiveness and reunification. A time for letting go and moving forward to harmonize opposites.
There is limitation in totally removing oneself from the physical world through meditation, contemplation and withdrawal. There are restrictions when living totally in the physical world void of the mysteries of life and personal evolving. So we must take the best of both worlds, being spiritually connected while engaging with the human population.
My years of seeking or searching seem to have ended. Now I sit heavily with all that I have gathered and anticipate how to give back meeting life's purpose. I am excited with the prospects that are now waiting before me, and I find myself more than eager to walk further down my creative road.
My shell continues to crack and the pain reminds me of the hidden, needing to be unveiled once and for all. Even though in doing so, the risk becomes I may not be who I think I am at all. So many layers stripped away, and yet one never seems to be done. My choice I suppose, but I long for the unfolding of what is yet to come.
