It’s about what happens in the period between departure and arrival

We move along this path of Life like a river flowing down a stream. We are not always certain what awaits us. Sometimes it is a smooth ride, and just when we think we’re comfortable and happy, we bump up against protruding rocks that upset our flow. We jerk. No sooner we pass over that, we experience calm again.

No matter how much we enjoy the calm in a moment or despise the jerkings we must endure, nothing lasts. We continue flowing along until we get carried to the next place, again unsure of what’s waiting on the other side.

While we are often excited to get to our destination, the value isn’t much in the arrival. It is who we become along the way. It’s the decisions we make when we come up against obstacles or when the condition isn’t to our expectations.

It’s what we choose to do when our paths intersect with tides, changes, and rough waters. These sudden upheavals and transformations slowly but surely move us toward the beautiful but terrifying process of becoming. We continue regardless of where the route takes us, even if we must keep changing directions.

What happens when you come to the end of the road? What if all you see is a deep blue that stretches out far and wide? Your mind churns scenarios as fear creates a mirage of chasm yawning between what is and what might be. You are sure that the ‘future’ lies on the horizon, but how do you advance beyond the foundation you’re standing on?

Sometimes Life as we know it grinds to a screeching halt. Confusion swirls about us like an invisible fog. During such moments, you must see the obstacle for what it is — a temporary stop. Regardless of how you feel, recognize that you are a traveler, and this is your path. You have to grow and elevate into the person who qualifies for the next phase of your journey.

Life unfolds in stages. Every challenge is a springboard to the next level. The next level of your journey will require a next level you. We are always in the space between endings and beginnings. Soon as we arrive at the finishing line, we find ourselves at a different starting point. Time continues to drag forward. Hence, we are advancing even when we are not.

Feeling stuck is a call for expansion and improvement. If we can change our perspective, what we deem a dead end is a door to the next level. When the ground under our feet disappears, we must summon the courage and leap. We can’t fly unless we’re ready to leave footprints in the water. What may not be obvious is that there is always a way, regardless of the circumstances.

Every once in a while, we encounter open spaces of nothingness. Progress becomes impossible as our journey comes to a halt. When Life pauses midway, there is no other alternative but to simply sit and wait.

Embrace the beauty in this space between chaos and shape, having patience with every unanswered question. Live through every unresolved tension without the constant need to engage with the world. Stop seeking answers because there aren’t any, and we are not ready for them now.

Sit in stillness as the whispers of our soul flounder in the flow of rippling moments. Be comfortable lingering among grey spaces as time takes us on a ride across the muddy hollows. Allow Life to flow without resistance or force, even when we don’t know where it’s leading.

Hold that space between endings and beginnings without rushing for clarity. Witness the minuscule shifts within the pause of movement in the continuous process of growth and becoming. If we’re not mindful of pausing and recalibrating, taking the time to think, Life has a way of ensuring we do. When that happens, it will leave a bitter taste in our mouths.

So live. Live the questions, the uncertainty, the doubts. Live through the withering twilights, the frostiness of darkness, and the creeping nothingness that coils around your being like a stiff wire. Live everything. Somewhere in the gap, you will realize that you have what it takes to rise to the next level.

This is Life in all its glory, swirling and unfolding with a profound purpose. It’s not all in the accomplishments but in the period between departure and arrival. The shuffling, waging, waiting, and solving of mysteries, moment by moment.

Until someday, in some ways, a doorway appears amongst a tangle of roots, and you step through the portal into an exciting but scary new adventure. Once again, in the unknown, you will rediscover yourself.

Remember, this is your path. No one else can do it better than you. So buckle up and enjoy the ride.
