LIFE: MY HEALING JOURNEY
by JoAnne (Jade) Alonso Life..The long and winding road,
never really knowing where it would lead me.
How lucky a child or our Creator,
who is born into their mission and recognizes it.
It didnt happen that way for me.
As i write this piece, i realize just past the age of 40 and the midst of a life-altering event,
i must now contemplate
"where is my life headed?"
"what is my real mission in life?"
Oh so overwhelming a task ... to speculate the future.Change or growth can't happen without a push,
a shove or cataclysmic event,
to set in motion the parth or mission I am to follow.
Without change, i am hopelessly lost in a sea of paralysis.
Thats where my fear comes in and tries to stunt my growth.
Any change, good, bad or indifferent is in fact a change,
and can send me into a world of indecision and stagnation.Rushing through life without definition,
is like drifting through an endless ocean
with no land in sight.
With each wave that descends upon me,
I simply brush past in search of land,
instead of searching for its true meaning.
The real challenge for me becomes one of
introspection and committment to change
and to go within to seek my real meaning
in the Healing Journey of LIfe...But how do i accomplish that without a clue?
After all, i am the one who has suddenly and unexpectedly
found myself faced with change, much to my chagrin perhaps, but nonetheless, its now parked itself right on my doorstep.
What's next?
Where do i go from here?I 'm sure only i myself can answer that question.
Maybe not today, tommorrow or even a short distance away,
but to never give up the search, is the key to life and its
journey to healing. Looking at life as a journey instead
of a destination, is all i need to proceed with confidence...
