We all find our selves at times sitting and asking, whats next? Will there be new experiences, new opportunities for me coming? We may feel unsure, the path ahead is unclear. Wanting to push through and figure out the next chapter before it is clear, we stir. We cut our bangs, change our phones screen photo, go through the list of friends we haven't seen in a while. Craving more, deeply knowing there is a new dynamic life awaiting our arrival. It feels as though we search in a dark room for the door, wanting to walk through it so badly. There is escapism and a fear of stillness within this. There is also another side to this; opportunity through failed fragile plans.
We push for something. Something that seems amazing on paper, most of the time, here and there until it just doesn't feel like its in alignment. Something is a touch off. If we just communicate something better, approach it differently, maybe give yourself little treats throughout the experience it will be okay. There is something waiting for us, asking us to say no to the thing in front of us that we are carving away to fit. We chiseling the sharp edges, shorten it, sand it down, to create a better shape to fit the idea. Its not meant to fit the concept. It is not the concept. The beauty is when the flip switches. The pressure is painful, pushing from within, aching, until one moment, it breaks. Within that breaking, something comes pushing through. The contrasting emerging feeling of joy and excitement rubs past the heartbreak, disappointment and despair. The soul speaks through this time, showing the new way with clarity. This moment isn't just showing the way with possibility, its showing the way of knowing it has already unfolded before you. The steps of this path are laid out, waiting to be experienced and walked through. Its already yours to have. This must be the difference between willing some circumstance to happen and learning the tides and pace of this life. This is the slingshot moment. The compressed mental and emotional energy of figuring and fitting, released. This slingshot force can't be willed into existence.
This slingshot force is liberating, even exuberantly shining through like a piercing ray of light. This pure energy is like taking a deep breathe after you've emptied your lungs, waiting just a few seconds too long before breathe rushes in. The feeling sense of clarity of the path ahead may be an experience of living in parallel timelines, or even in two moments of time at once. It feels as though this is a unfurling future memory. Fascinating concept.
Much Love,
