Meri's Musings

Soul enters life from below, through the cracks, finding an opening into life at the points where smooth functioning breaks down. - Thomas Moore Sometimes, it seems, the cracks develop (or we invite them)  because it's the only way we can break free of the "smooth functioning" that is stifling us, causing us to ask Is this all there is? In traveling the lonely and rocky path, we find the quiet place where we can listen to our soul.  When we are challenged, we have an opportunity  to grow strong at the broken places.

As I walked outside in the early morning light, the moon was hanging in the western sky, full and shiny. Ah, I thought. Maybe that's it. I've been feeling particularly open the past few days; feeling tender and raw as if I'm taking on some secret sadness from unknown sources. Sensing that I'm wide open psychic-ly and not particularly well shielded. Feeling mutable and changeable as if the slightest breeze will alter the way things look to me forever. "Mutable" copyright 2009 Meri Arnett-Kremian. If, as I've been told, this wander I'm going on starting in mid-week will alter me in profound ways I can't anticipate, the cycles of the moon, the wind ruffling the water's surface, the feeling of tenderness for the suffering in the world and a sense of being on the cusp of something too big to grasp with my mind are probably all part of the travel package. A little preview, so to speak. Soul Journey. All aboard. . . . .
