There are so many things for which I am thankful. Most recently, I'm thankful I have this time in my life to stop, listen, reflect, and grow. My journey over the last several weeks has taken a change from an external course to a (mostly) internal course.
I am thankful my imagination is so malleable because it has been stretched and reshaped into a device of healing. I have visited and named the pieces of myself that are the key to unlocking my purpose in this life: the creator, the peacemaker, the healer, the diffuser, and the stage presence...to name a few. These are referred to as "my naturals," as in my natural gifts. These pieces of self are my true essence--my identity. I'm not learning these things for the first time, rather, I'm remembering who I am. I'm finding my way back to me.
The mystery of the direction of time ("time's arrow") refers to the mathematical impossibility of the human ability to remember the past, but not the future, and change the future, but not the past. A smile draws itself across my face as I remember who I was, and, simultaneously, who I will be.
My thanks extends to my family and friends who have stood with me on this adventure. Internal adventures are much harder for others to understand. I'm fortunate to have a family that is willing to support me, even when they don't understand. That is love.
