The Story of Now

I struggled but grew and evolved, encompassing the journey or riding the wave, immersed in the gray fog. I learned the secrets, little by little, of what I was here for, and what I wanted to do from that point on. Everything started coming together - the late bloomer unraveling her voice, scent and colors to the earth and all of its inhabitants. I flowed to the sounds of the sea - the lake - listening to the trees murmuring in the wind, saying, "Be free, lighten your load, be fun, be spirit, be life!" Back and forth the trees moved to the stillness of the water caressing the beach. A beautiful contrast of depth and oneness with freedom and lightness. I walked in tune to my breath, breathed in the harshness and let it out, let it go, all the negativity, the toxins, the meanness, and the ugliness. I sought the beauty and the harmony and all the love. I opened my arms, raised them up, let them flow down to my individuality, dancing in the light. The spotlight on my journey. Freeing my burdens and surrendering them to love and service for the rest of my years.
