People have told me:
do the things that makes your heart sing.
that this is brave.
that this is the key to happiness.
I would nod at these words that sounded cliché; half believing them. Until I took a step. Just one small step; an inch closer to my heart's work.
And freedom is felt. And by freedom I mean that there is no grasping; no wanting more. With this brand of freedom, I can be present in my own life. Reside here for a bit. Yes - challenges arise and thoughts continue their steady stream (sometimes still raging up onto the banks of the soul), but it is within the life that I am living rather than a life that I am trying to escape from or to.
While I sit, I find my thoughts going to the food that I am going to eat or prepare or Francesca at school or Lilian's nap schedule, but these are all mundane thoughts that circle through my daily life. Oh, how I welcome the mundane for, right now, the mundane is the precious present.
