Glimmers of Joy

Right before I relocated to SC I had a vision. Maybe it was a lucid dream. Perhaps they are one and the same.

I was standing in a field of wild flowers and wild horses were galloping all around me. It’s blazoned in my memory. It was luminous. I was enveloped in absolute joy, just standing there, all senses fully ignited, active and awakened. The brilliant colors & scents of feral flowers and untamed horses were both breathtaking and surreal. I felt free. I felt born again. I felt like I was transported into another reality in space and time, yet both feet were planted & eyes wide open.

Heedless to how much time had passed, when I was brought back to my room and the bed I was lying in, I wrestled with its symbology & deeper meaning. God knows I love a good mystery.

Once my new path was revealed and I began to embark on its journey, I began to unravel the vision. I was now moving towards a freedom I have never known and a a strength and grounded-ness I so desperately needed. And on the other side of that, were glimmers of joy.

Here I am, one year into this wild and wondrous adventure in search of the next opportunity that will change the trajectory of my life, my world and move me further towards growth.

Another chance to roll the dice, take a risk and inspire myself to push past fear and my own impending limits. To say I keep myself on my toes is an understatement.

I’m not ignorant to the realities of the ebb and flow of life. There will always be ups and downs. Sometimes we move through life with ease and other times there’s a need to buckle up in preparation for turbulence.

Embracing contrast is essential for both our growth and sanity. I don’t expect perfection but I do believe that life will continue to unfold it’s mysteries in a way that’s more meaningful and purposeful because I’ve chosen to pivot my perception and perspective, move earnestly towards focused intention and pursue relationships and experiences that provide reciprocity and reflect my evolution into a more aligned and conscious human.
