The Road Less Travelled

 


The times have changed. They have ripped me apart; they have lunged me back into reality and they have stepped me up in the time of revolution. How can that be when we don’t know what we are dealing with? Sometimes we have to trust, trust our instincts. Be a martyr, be a pauper or be a stumbling block for the less fortunate. We all need that realisation that we can succumb to the life that we so desperately need for survival. A stumbling block that can lead the poor to find humanity and when that happens, the doors are less frightening and threatening for the ones walking through them.

 

We have an inkling that the roads less travelled are the ones that make us right again. The ones that can flourish when we find that road, find that way of life and hold steady the realisation that unbeknown to us we have another way of moving forward. This is called freedom. This is called living the life that can flourish and accept us warts and all. It is a hard road to follow. I have learnt many mistakes on the way but showing true colours can bring compassion, hospitality and mesmerising ways that catapult you to stardom. You see no matter what the outcome, we all live to tell another tale. Another sentence that we did not know before. Another fraction that can hold us steady in time.

 

The heartache I feel for the less fortunate as I walk down the street is no comparison compared to the heartache of losing my own ways. Losing my own trace, finding my feet and walking steady. I want that to shine brightly knowing that the world can be a better place when spacing yourself out for all mankind to see. The world can hold us accountable for our own actions. It can tip us over the edge but bring us back when we have had that cleansing. That is a fine word for recovery. Recovery can take many fractions. It is a steppingstone for each individual when finding their feet. We all hold onto the life we once had, does that serve us anymore?

 

Recovery can hold on to you, grip you with force and then throw you out the window again. That is when you winch yourself back into safety and climb through that window, time and time again. Don’t give up on the one true desire that catapults you to reach the mountain top of safety. That safety nest might be one door away, it might be a kilometre away. No matter where it is, stay safe. Have that shoulder to cry on, have the whimsical belief that no matter what day it is, you can hold your head high. Shout to the roof tops that belief and manifestation are a one stop shop away. The one true desire may take some time to comprehend but when the door opens you will know that you have made it home.

Years mark the day

YEARS MARK THE DAY By Jacqui Ray We were celebrating another milestone with our marriage, another year passed with unrelinquished misery as my husband would say. I know he was joking but deep down were we still compatible? Most years we would forget our wedding anniversary or anything else that resembled a major point in our lives. People make out dates to be so important, I am not sure if this was a sticking point in our relationship. Did it really matter if we did not celebrate our wedding anniversary? Did it really matter if we did not wear our wedding rings? People get so caught up in the expectations of what others think. It is not what he does for me but how he does it. My husband may not jump for joy on certain days when I am wanting him too but that is how he is. Don’t change a person just because you want them changed, there has to be a need for change and direction to wonder how these factors affect a relationship. We bot...

Forgiving and forgetting.

Many times in your life there are people that hold a very special place in your heart. Cutting cords is something I have never thought about until I started my spiritual journey. Do you have a friend you have known all your life? Do you keep the friendship going because you have known them forever? You might grow apart and distance yourself, but that nagging feeling keeps you in that friendship circle.   Cutting cords is hard with blood relatives and friendships, but are they serving you? Is it time to relinquish the guilt and subservience of their friendship and know that the time has come to think about yourself first? Do you need them in your life? Start with that, think about what happiness they bring to you. Think about if they are there for you when you need someone to call on or are they just a fair-weather friend? Spiritualism has no bounds with the way we are when someone is hurting you. You may just be a shoulder for somebody to use and abuse yo...

Worldly possibilities

How many people wonder what life has in store for them? Are there certain destinies to behold or how do I put it, explanations in life that cannot be told? For I am one of those people that judged and belittled what was not my belief. Somehow that made sense to me and spiritual reclusiveness was part of the package for me. My life consisted of having a wonderful upbringing, living in the suburbs of Melbourne with my family and enjoying the simple things in life. I was not a religious person nor was my family. Pretty much Atheism was what we all believed in. I did attend an Anglican school for my education but was not aware of how religion would play a part in the school curriculum. During Religious Education, I remember being perplexed and bored. I would not listen and hardly remember anything that my teacher taught me.      If I had been brought up in a different family with religious beliefs, then maybe there would be a different outcome.
