KEEP MOVING

 

Let me tell you a story that might, just might help the you today to sorta – kinda rebuild from where you are standing, at this very moment. I share this insight only because I can honestly attest to its healing of me.

“As I sit across from her, the sadness engulfs me, causing a surge of ‘explosive emotions.’ I believe that she is sad, lost and unfulfilled, almost empty. As I sat in mid thought she begins telling me a story, I thought it was to me but no, it was being told to the wind, as if she was whispering into another realm just beyond the reach of our fingertips. I sat and followed her words as they poured forth from her enchanted spirit….

– I have traveled a journey of many wonders, journeys of failures and triumphs, tears, laughter, of Life and of Death. The universe provided this opportunity, opportunity of the sweet and the Sour, and opened the path of exploration and a vast, wide,

passionate life of discoveries.

I have met old souls of Classical Alchemy who aside of sharing stories of turning base metals into gold, have also taught me about the Universal elixir, of the seemingly  magical process of transformation, of the four basic properties of ” Earth – Fire – Air & Water” of Spiritual Awareness, of Purpose, of Letting Go. They shared stories of Miracles, although I never truly believed in them, I somehow felt their words in vibrant iridescent color and I believed, in that instance, I became a believer of Miracles.

She went on, in her soft whimsical voice that seemed a bit more awake yet, lost in the forest of nostalgia she said: I have connected with lovers who, in pure ecstasy, lifted me up, towards the night sky, shining bright in the company of the magnificent stars, just twinkling alongside them in pure bliss, and I have connected with lovers who barely satisfied my hunger of lust. I walked alongside sages and allowed their words to seep in through my pores, feeding knowledge to my core, stirring my spirit into a flamenco dance. I walked alongside others who were silent, carrying a heart of stone, walking towards nothing in particular, lost with no direction and I spoke to them, I reminded them that nothing is forever, what mattered was the rising after every fall but, they did not hear me and for those I silently cried, I knew I could never reach them so, I chose a different path. I chose my road of discoveries. I chose my salvation, for I have always known my responsibility for my temple and I had to guard it.

She looked out the window and a tear glided slowly down her weathered cheek and I saw a hint of a smile curl the edges of her lips, I was about to rise from the table to allow her her space when she held up her hand, as if to stop me, and that is when I noticed her hands, long fingers, yet slightly curled from obvious arthritis, I noticed the grace in how she held them and my heart skipped a beat as I grew excited, in knowing, that she had the hands of an artist.

she turned back to me, looked straight at me, tracing the features of my face and said; Never fear love, never run from love because of broken promises in the past, for those broken promises were more your expectations of what the others love was supposed to be. Do not blame them for their role in your pain, for they were just messengers, answers of prayers you sent up.  When a door closes, smile, it was good for you – walk towards the destiny that was already carved for you from birth.

Every heartache is only a reminder that 1)-you are alive and  2)-you must move into action – pain and heartache serve as stepping stones to guide you towards your purpose, to push you out of the comfort zone you have settled for.

Be thankful. When you sit with your memories of pain, do not become angry, sad or embarrassed. Own your behavior. Honor them. Embrace them. Celebrate the Warrior within You, because you will find a world of memories in every raindrop, in every teardrop and you must have Gratitude, You must acknowledge them all with Grace and be thankful that you have breath within you, which allows you to have recollections of a life well lived, an opportunity to Rise Above it all.

 

I will leave you with my truth she said to me, I  have lived a well rounded, well utilized life. My advice to you is: Always try your best to make Wise Choices. Shift Thought Patterns. Engage in ALL things New. Sometimes, all it takes is “Recreating YOU without the unnecessary baggage.” At the end of the day the secret is: Own Your Now so that You can begin to Live Your Moment!!

I found Joy in my Laughter – I found Comfort in my Pain –

 I created a Life well lived in

Balance – Seek Your Balance.
