A heaviness falls upon me without definition. I cannot quite place what is wrong, but something is off and the more I try to ignore it, the more it grows. Clueless, I head outside into the sun and upon my favorite path. I walk knowing the way so all of my attention can be squandered on the lovely nature surrounding me.
Almost instantly, my body relaxes. My senses are distracted in the most delightful ways. The physical movement is beneficial, but the gentle lifting of my spirit is the gift. I am distracted by bird songs and the vibrant colors of the flowers I pass by. As the sun falls upon my face, I cry, knowing I am safe again.
There are times I never puzzle out what was bothering me, but the relief is so great that I am once again aligned. With each step returning me home, I realize I am better prepared to face whatever is presented. I know my soul will guide me no matter where my path leads into my diverse and unknown journey.
