There are times when the circumstances that we find ourselves in become untenable. The suffering that we feel is just too intense to stay rooted in the status quo. We must make a move; we must walk away from something and let it go. We find no resolution to our predicament, even though we may wish to cling on to fond memories from the past. There may have been exceedingly good times and now they are gone. To remain would mean accumulating more trauma to deal with. The storm is upon us and the winds of change buffet us around like leaves in the wind.
We may not have a destination in mind but we head out anyway into the unknown. We always have a light to guide us when we walk out into the field of destiny. Often, we have no map or compass, we have left them behind, and we have to trust our instincts, our internal navigation system.
It can be extremely frightening, heartbreaking even, to relinquish our connections to the people, places and things that we’ve now outgrown. However, there is something inside that urges us onward. We must struggle through the fear and the grief to get to our next destination. There may be many tears and, sometimes, moments of sweet relief and joy as we shake off the ties that bind. With each step we take, we find a new sense of freedom. Sometimes, we discover that a massive weight has been lifted from our shoulders.
As we make our way through the field of destiny, we discover that our old self starts to dissolve and drift into the wind. There are parts of ourself that still remain intact. The attributes that make up our core. However, we may realise that our identity is in flux, which can be destabilising as we question who we are. As we walk, we find gifts and abilities that we never dreamed possible. It is only through shaking off the stagnancy and taking that first step could we have achieved such a feat. And that’s all it takes. Just one small step into the mystery.
