More..

So many questions that I possibly can’t answer. So many answers that keep changing as soon as I think I’ve understood them.

Maybe it’s not as complicated as we think, or maybe it’s not as simple as we’d like it to be. Life is a mystery, a box full of surprises; some days you get pleasent gifts and on other days you have to remind yourself that it’s not always about pleasantries but instead about gratitude.

So much inequality around us and yet we all look at the problems we’re faced with as though it’s the burden of the world. So much pain we don’t understand and hatred we foster because we’re too scared to love. As though being vulnerable and human is a danger and being our authentic self is no longer celebrated.

Wanting more than what we have has become the purpose of our existence; more money, more food, more clothes, more friends, more travel and photos, more laughter and memories, more of everything because nothing is ever enough.

Why is that? Why do we percieve that nothing is ever enough? Going from one high to another, not appreciating that 50 years ago the abundance most of us have would’ve been a dream that one would never had experienced. Why go back 50 years, when right now the lives of many is a dream for so many more?

The injustice around us makes me feel so helpless and angry knowing there is more we could do; but it also serves as a gratitude reminder that the only difference between I and a young refugee, homeless or sick person is chance.

A chance that is often taken for granted because it’s easier to wish for what we don’t have instead of say grace for what we do.

So many questions that I can’t possibly answer. So many answers that keep changing.

But one thing I know for sure, the clarity we seek is within us; it’s just a matter of whether we give ourselves the space, time and courage to sit in stillness, in the present moment and open our hearts to the depths of what our souls are trying to show us.

So I sit, I practice sitting and maybe one day I will morph into the question and the answer and be awake to all the hidden treasures of this world.

Love Always,

Miss Dreamer
