It's easy to get into a mindset. We may not realize we might be coasting ourselves into a rut. The groove might be pretty good. Maybe nothing crazy has happened as of late, and the comfort of routine has smoothed out the edges. This is a great place to be until we read a book or see a movie that stirs up trouble somewhere deep. A character we've grown attached to moves into a new town beginning a brand new life. He or she finds love in friendly small town and everything seems to just fall into place. The news of an old friend moving to paradise at long last is bittersweet. The story from heartbreak and loss, to love and fulfilled wishes awakens a sleeping dragon of desire. We have felt the tall heights of high hopes and the freshness of starting over. It happens and we know it's possible.
We recognize the feeling of wonder and expectancy when we hold a newborn babe, or get married or watch someone else tie the knot. Degrees and projects completed take us right there to I've arrived. Every step after this is rooted into a new world as we take one foot out of the past and plant both in the future because it feels so rich, beautiful and promising.
Stories, art and music take us there. They take us to the moment of "now". We feel it in our bones. The earthly wonder and magnificence of a mountain's peak renders us silent, reverent and perfectly still inside. A majestic and humbling ocean or red rock canyon at sunset takes us right to the dawning of a new beginning. The beginning starts in us with how we feel about where we are.
We are conjurers of new beginnings. We can do it at will by how we feel. We are powerful beings. You don't have to travel to catch this feeling. Seek the enchantment of fireflies on a Summer night in your neighborhood...your own backyard. You don't have to be in love to feel the sway in your hips or the charm of your smile unleash-able with a tiny tilt of your head.
Magic was implanted at birth on your heart so that you could always dream yourself into a new, rich and beautiful future full of hope. Perhaps we have forgotten in the day's rhythm of steps, lists and routines that we can stand again at dawn's doorstep. We can knock on her door at any moment and she will always invite us in.
Hope your week is rich, beautiful and bursting with promise.
