From River to Ocean Bound

Life is an enigma for us all at times, an unknown quantity as it slowly unfurls and hopefully reveals a path of fulfilment and satisfaction. I don’t know what my life will bring and I don’t want to know: the joy emerges from the surprises, the turns this way and that, meandering peacefully as a sluggish river makes its way to the sea. And it is there that one reaches real depths, akin to rebirth, as one takes on bold new endeavours in the faith that in so doing my fulfilment will one day be complete and that, as I return “home” to another world, I may look back with joy and without regret.

I feel as though I have, by my meanderings, now reached open sea, with all the freedom and power it implies, and now my course leads me internationally, fulfilling an expectation from youth that until recently had been denied to me by life’s twists and turns. The promised journey now holds hope and promise like never before and blossoms like a dormant flower of infinite beauty which only now becomes apparent in all its glory. It seems it is never too late to find inner peace and happiness!
