Life sometimes takes us down paths we never expected
Brings us face to face with an obstacle we never anticipated
Asks us to examine where we want to go from here
Often in response to whispers we have been subconsciously asking the Universe
Those deep rooted and seated questions we need answers to
The ones that are buried so deep
We believe no one will hear what we are asking
That no one will know our real truths
Until those truths become too immense to contain
Even for our subconscious
Even for our conscious
Until they erupt and explode
Exposing us to the world
Exposing our deepest truths to ourselves through the lens of the world
And because we thought that truth was ours alone
We wonder how it got out
How it exposed us
We feel betrayed, ashamed, afraid, angry
A myriad of emotions
A feeling of nakedness
Of exposure to the eyes of the world
Staring back at us
Unblinking
Accusing
We fear the world will turn away from us
Make life difficult for us
We fear we will turn away from ourselves
Making life difficult for ourselves
We fear so much
That we stop
We surrender
Not in the good surrender
But in the ego based surrender
Because we can no longer take the heat
We can no longer explain
We can no longer hide for what we have asked for all along
It is during these times of our deepest darkest moments
That we are being asked to examine our deep rooted truths
To listen to what we have been asking for
Because it can no longer be contained
We can no longer be contained
We are being asked to decide what we want from here
Where we go from here
Do we go backwards to the place of discontent
Or do we face our ultimate question of what it is we want from life
And reach for it
Even in the midst of the world clamouring against us
When we are exposed
It is because we are meant to be exposed
And we are meant to become what it is we asked to become
We are given the opportunity in sometimes the most lonely way possible
To move forward
To be an instrument of change
To be the miracle we were sent here to be
It takes a very strong person to embrace
This path of the unknown
But when it is shown and taken
With truth, integrity and compassion
The path of the unknown leads us to the path of the known
And we discover once we come out of the overgrown
That we are free
Liberated to be who we asked to be
And that’s why we sometimes find ourselves on a path we never expected
Travelling down a road we never anticipated
Realising it was always our path
Our road to the place we are meant to be
With truth and grace and surrender
Namaste
