Urgency

When you lay down at night, ready to drift off to sleep, waiting for the sandman to come, what burns in you to be lived?

What colours to you want to use to paint life with? What have you yet to taste? Whose smile beckons you in the still of the night? What visions captivate you, somewhat hauntingly, making you wonder if you will ever experience the 'life you seem meant for?'

This is a powerful experience of reflection we are all capable of: take into account what is transpiring in consciousness as you prepare to sleep and you will realize where you have an urgent need/desire to travel in the direction of. Maybe you want to express more affection and love for those close to you. Perhaps you want to be less sensitive and touchy, as you seem to be afflicted with generating 'drama' unnecessarily. Or maybe you just know that the life you are living now is not fulfilling you, not feeding you, not sustaining you, not anywhere near offering you the kind of nourishment and support that you need in order to continue.

So, I say, don't dream of dying and escaping from what has become of your life--no matter what the difficulties may be--but, instead, dream of that which is urging you to live. Find the fire in your soul. Find the bounce in the body. Find the melody in the mind. Find the song in the spirit of that which conspires to leave you contented at night. For it is present, whispering to you now in quiet, breathing life into your lungs, preparing you to fly above and beyond all that you may think is possible of holding you back. But nothing is. Nothing can hold back the one who knows the urgency of a life aching to be lived.

You can. You wouldn't even be 'aware of it' if you were not capable of it. That dream. That transformation. That vision. That 'you' that awaits in the distance that is no distance at all. Unite with the promise of that 'you.'
