“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” Joseph Campbell
In late 2014, I was finding myself feeling stale, unmotivated and bordering on depression. I had ‘been there, done that’ and did not feel that life had much left to offer me. I had the most incredible pain inside because I was not fully expressing myself and the love I felt . I was firmly in my Spiritual Closet. Yes, I had a rich spiritual life, full of miracles and wonders for which I was profoundly thankful, but they had little meaning when I was not allowing myself to share them to the greater good of all. That was when a friend of mine said I had to stop this and gather my courage and start a blog. I was quite frankly terrified…
But it was at that moment that the epiphany came. The fear was killing my soul…quite literally. So here I am! 😀 You would think that something so small as daring to express the incredible LOVE I feel for all would not make much difference, but for me? My whole life has turned upside down! The incredible pain transmuted into ineffable joy! If you want love, you have to give it, first to yourself and then it spills over onto others. My people started to come into my life, share beautiful comments with me here and I have been so enriched by the whole experience. Rapture!! *.*
Old loves have returned to touch base in tender and sweet ways…not to rekindle flames, but to acknowledge the connection and that we mattered. And Philippe…well that is an adventure I never thought to have…and good in a way that my old self would have termed ‘scary’, but now I simply trust and enjoy every single second ❤
I am alive in this moment that is crystal clear and rings with the beauty and truth of love ❤ May my own experiences find a grain of truth in you and set you on your journey to rapture.
Rise higher and shine brighter
So much love ❤
