The Start

It’s there, just beneath the surface. You sense its nearness, the gentle pushing towards the surface. The air around seems to buzz with electricity that’s pulsating around you. It’s funny, you always knew it was there but you worked so hard to ignore its gentle calling. You put up your walls and barriers, thinking you were doing so to protect yourself, only to realize that you were slowly suffocating the one thing that you were destined for the moment you took your first breath. Did you mean to create these barricades, to stifle the one thing you craved the most, but were so afraid to fully latch onto? You dreamed about it, wrote about it, sang about it, but when it came close to you, you ran and you ran quickly. Maybe deep down you thought it was some sort of protection that you were giving to yourself, maybe you were waiting for the right moment. There are a plethora of things that could've been the reason for why, and it wasn’t until you stopped thinking about it and let the thought of it go that it happened. You were caught off guard, blindsided by a flash of brilliant light that caused those scales to fall from your eyes to realize what was right in front of you. A chance meeting, nothing more nothing less, the simplicity of complexity. You knew something had shifted, it was scary and thrilling all at once, but it didn’t seem to phase you like it normally would have. Something was different. You were at peace, calm, confident, you sensed this knowing like a knowing you’d never felt before. A certainty. It was effortless, and it surprised you greatly. You finally let it break through, you answered the call and let it come flooding over you. A tsunami wave of the most beautiful of feelings, and it’s what you had dreamed it would be like but even greater. Hope. So run wild with it, you deserve it.
