Reflection One - Waking up

            Many years, many days, countless hours and seconds to span the globe many times over, all of which I’ve traversed. All time, all experiences and all filling the soul soup pot that I can call myself. Many mistakes, wrong turns and dead ends I’ve lived through, learned from and continued the walk. You never know where it may lead you, or where it will end up. That’s God’s business, and that’s okay by me these days.

            The pitfalls of my life have taught me many lesson’s, some that have been subtle and hard to understand, others being sticks of dynamite that opens the eyes, when the eyes were watching what they wanted to see and missing what they needed to observe. Lesson’s learned, miles walked, making me who I am.

            Who I am? I’m a work in progress. Everyone is. No one knows everything and the things that are brought before us, to take in, ponder over and muse upon, come at different speeds, paces, shapes and sizes. And you don’t even get to pick the colors.

            Living in this world is acknowledging that we all are in a constant evolving state of creation. The personal goals and wishes, far beneath that ultimate will of the divine, which we are only enlightened with, in small doses. I suspect the reason for this, is we would all be so overwhelmed by the whole bucket; that we’d probably explode. But it’s ok though. Not knowing everything is part of the adventure we are born into. Figuring out our piece in that tapestry and how we effect and are affected by it all, is what keeps us striving forward. One step, two steps, the pace of our feet upon the path is unique to us, and different from anyone else. Our individuality makes us human and our ability to weave those differences together and work towards common goals, dreams and following ambitions, helps us move forward in God’s world.

            As I have taken a moment to refocus my own eyes upon the life that I live. I know that the journey is far from over. Many more experiences and lesson’s await me on the path that I walk and I’m always reminded, that even though the future is unwritten, as long as I have faith in the Lord and in myself, I’ll be okay. Knowing this gives me peace and the mountains I must climb, aren’t so scary.

You make it all seem okay. Funny how that is. I have been struggling the past few days with some of my own "Pitfalls" as you so elegantly call them.
To turn my woes in to a tapestry makes the lesson seem worth learning.
A sincere Thank You, I stand in the Chapel of the Wolf.
