the quest for marshmallows...

I have been experiencing these awesome 'eureka' moments these past few weeks. I imagine that it's all part of a long drawn process of self-realisation that will continue for the extent of my life, however long or short that may tend to be. But I also feel immensely grateful for the journey, and the point at which I now find myself.

Theres so much I want to pen here. So much that I want to document, for myself, and to share with erstwhile readers. Because, everyday I pray for answers to the muddle of questions in my forever inquiring childlike mind. And everyday, I may have failed to see the answers.

My quest for the bowl of marshmallows in my eye-line has kept me striving without wanting to enjoy the view of a far bigger reality.

What an amazing reality it is!

I feel like the universe has let me in on a little secret. And I have this incredulous feeling that the secret is only the key to many more. Every single day, I have received a tiny piece of the puzzle, only to discard them into my box of seeming nothingness.
Until recently that is. When I had some time for silence, and reflection, and the need to do something creative. I reached back into that box of stuff and began to unravel and piece together the little bits... And a glorious image (still halfway there) began to emerge. I feel held and embraced by all that life can be. I feel like life is working with me. I feel loved :) I feel like I am always at the right place at the right time. And that I have no reason to want. Just to be. But I have to admit, it took some doing and some sandpaper-to-skin in getting here (rather I chose to make it feel like that for a while).

I also know that this is a temporary resting place, and that the shade of these leaves will shift for some time so that I can see the greater climb that awaits me.

I am just grateful for every moment of love that has brought me to this point, and I know that my emotional wings are a little stronger now ;)
