Que Sera Sera…
The day I’d been waiting for…
Today is the day I’d been waiting for. From the beginning, since I was a child. For this moment of adulthood. For this moment of independence. For this moment of joy. For this moment of contentment. For this moment of peace. For this moment of stillness.
I’ve had and have all I needed, wanted, prayed for, and wished for. I feel worthy, humbled, and full of gratitude. I feel blessed, loved, cared for, desired, wanted, respected, and as lucky as a four-leaf clover.
I’m celebrating it now as a station in passing; a vacation spot I favor over all others; a safe haven. Thanking all the moments that have come before this one. For those moments that seemed so dark and hopeless, that today didn’t seem conceivable. Instead, here I am the reality dimming the dream that was. Living in alignment with the heart, mind, and soul.
Peace certainly is an inner experience, an inner knowing, an inner quality of being and a way of being, a quality of giving, a particular pace of thought. It’s the serenity of a forest’s whispers, the chirping of birds, the pitter-patter of rain, the comforting fragrance of home. It's possibly audacious of me to think that I’ve attained it. But, isn’t life about pursuing goals we’ve conceived in our mind’s eye? Until the moment we live it and find that it doesn’t quite fit. And so, we pursue yet another goal until we’ve found our niche, our song, our home, and our calm.
And so, this is quite the moment of truth and arrival for me. Not because I’ve arrived, but because there isn’t a place to arrive at. There isn’t a perfect time to be in. There isn’t something or somewhere to settle in.
A river flows in pursuit of the sea, but once it becomes the ocean, there isn’t a spot where the water sits still. It's ever flowing, ever-renewing, ever-replenishing, ever-nourishing. Ever magical.
‘To experience’ and ‘to be’ is like water too. At times, turbulent like rapids in a river and other times, delightful like mist of a waterfall. ‘Being’ can also feel pensive and deliberate like water trickling through porous rocks carving stupendous caves in their wake. The most mysterious and aspirational form of ‘being’ though is to simply ‘BE’, silent and as still as water.
And so, I’m cherishing this moment of being, of inner quietude like water would cherish the earth it flows on. I cherish the earth that holds my water, the banks that guard my flow, and the terrains that give me shape. I’m noticing the stones that cleanse me, the aquatic flora that nourishes me, and the life that adds ‘living’ to me. I’m acknowledging the humans that adulterate my waters, for if not for them, the magic and purity of my flow I wouldn’t know.
I now know, that like water, I can change who I am, without changing my essence.
The essence of me is that I flow, I grow and I glow.
I can gush and rush and I can also take it slow.
I can cut and carve and I can heal with zeal.
In this moment of serenity, I’m creating new ways of being in my mind. I am extending the canvas for the flow of life.
- Enough abundance to never say no to any being that asks something of me, materialistic and otherwise.
- Abundance of love, to give, to receive, to spread, to make, to feel, to show, to express, and to share.
- Physical health to serve tirelessly, to enjoy endlessly, and to experience nature abundantly.
- Mental Health to experience inner peace, to create it, share it, and offer it as a gift.
- Health in all other forms to be in their best form, so I may be the best I can be to anyone and everyone who can benefit from me.
- To ‘BE’ in the most beautiful places on earth; across countries, continents, mountains, and seas.
- To admire the beauty of birds across all landscapes and continents.
- To talk to the trees in the rainforests across the world.
- To be stupefied by sunsets and dazzled by moonshine.
- To meet, love, adore, and be adored, loved, and respected by the kindest souls in the world.
- To serve, empower, and do good by as many living beings.
- To find and experience miracles every single day.
- To find joy, purpose, and love in every day.
- To become LOVE and to offer it, every moment of every day.
