| Reclaiming of a young spirit that life forgot… |
|
Every day is a journey into the reinvention of my life and several years ago I went in search of a young girl that was left behind; a broken spirit wandering and unsure of when she had ceased to be!
The young spirit was imprisoned in a void of nonexistence, no longer acknowledged as a being; but molded into someone that others wanted her to become; I did find this young spirit and embraced what should have been but was never allowed to be. I brought back the broken spirit keeping it safely with me until it began to heal; it grew quickly and merged into freedom; but freedom from the pits of hell came with a cost, scars that could not be seen were embedded deeply within the body, mind and soul.
The young spirit now merged with the old spirit and they have become one; the old shrouded in a life time of wisdom was able to help lay a path leading into the future and the young spirit in renewed strength taught the old that life is not over and the whole of both is transformed in the determination to survive.
It has been a time of learning and spiritual awakening; the blending and fusing of a soul split apart is not easy, it takes spiritual searching. As one wanders through the desert sands of the mind, confused, discouraged, disappointed; the journey is tiring and one that will never end until the earthly body becomes dust that blows upon the winds of Mystery. When the spirit is separated from itself, from its whole, it is not living as intended; reconnection, rebirth, bound strong by having lived through dryness and thirst to become once again complete.
But now my spirit is whole and It is encouraging and poignant to discover in this journey that my pain is not private to me and that the practice of always living in reality helps me to see that the whole universe is in pain most times with one goal; to survive.
Peace and Regards,
Annie O.
