A Road Less Travelled  "A sailor chooses the wind that takes the ship from a safe port. Ah yes, but once you're aboard, as you have seen, winds have a mind of their own. Be careful Charlotte, careful of the wind you choose." ~~ Avi, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle First of all I’d like to start out by saying that it was a day I will never forget. And as cliche as that might sound, it’s probably the closest I will ever come to complete and utter honesty in my entire life. Every nuance of that day, every twist, every turn, every place I went – every person I met .. I remember them all like it was just yesterday. I remember the sky, and how it resembled my favorite pair of faded blue jeans – and I remember how it felt as it beckoned to my soul – calling out to that part of me where adventure was forever born. Looking up, I was reminded of the gentle ebb and flow of a watercolor painting. One where the brush strokes flowed effortlessly across an unblemished and willing canvas. Each graceful line of color served to trace the path of some imaginary river .. guiding it gently on its journey as it flowed towards some distant land. And the river sang its song to the wind, filled with the hope of someday reaching that far away horizon – an uncharted destination where dreams still waited to be discovered. For me this was to be a day of wonderous voyages. Voyages into self discovery, into self awareness .. into love. The sun was warm and inviting and there wasn’t a cloud for miles. Indeed, there was something so magical about that day that I could feel it practically pulling me outside, lifting my spirits and filling my heart with life’s sweet energy. I was empowered and in control of my life – as if I could do anything. No boundaries, no limits. In this time and place there were no walls to stop me, no excuses with the exception of those I had created in my own mind. Time, space, matter – all could be manipulated if I truly believed that they could. That day I courageously followed my destiny down many dusty dirt roads, going wherever the wind would take me – a free spirit, a of light. I have never experienced another day like it nor do I know if another will ever return, but I do know that it changed me in ways I could never have imagined. I let go of many things that day. People, situations. I let them all go and I forgave myself for feeling the need to hold on. In return, the Universe embraced me .. and it was in that moment I was granted freedom. The afternoon came and went – and as it did, something within me changed. ~~ Isabella Chewing on a piece of grass Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?
