Somewhere in Time I trusted the path.

The soul traveled and took me in a direction I had never been before. There where moments when I looked around that I was afraid of what I might experience. The thought of what might be or could be plagued me to no end.

As I walked the path the view at times became blocked with a mirage of what I thought was familiar and safe. I knew that if I stayed on the path I would be fine. My voice spoke loudly to me and convinced me that not all was well but I did not listen. I became deaf to that which had been my adviser and confidante.

At different moments I couldn't understand why my soul said the path was fine. I mean if any part of me should have known........was it not her? I stood at the bend in the road realizing I didn't know where I was and I was lost in surroundings that looked familiar only because I made it so...........the illusions....my own illusions tried to take comfort in the unknown. The unknown is vast and deceiving so I trusted that which saw my illusions and tried to make them seem real.

I was walking in my illusion and that is why I was lost.

The lesson I learned was to realize that the unknown is unconcerned with answers that can make my path better. This was because I was unconcerned with the right answers coming my way. To become deaf to oneself is to deny the answers that we have beckoned in the moments we need them.

My soul had no choice but to show me what could happen if I became deaf to myself. She after all was my voice......but I had to learn how to listen to her. The path was the test and when we listen to our soul the inner voice is a beckon that leads us in the right direction.

Sometimes the soul has to lead us into a lesson that is not pleasant so we can see our illusions. As I stood looking back where I had come from I realized that my illusion was a pleasant reprieve from the reality I had always known. So it occurred to me that maybe illusions are OK to keep as long as we know where we are on our path. And as long as I hear my voice than the path is a journey continually walked with illusions and lessons intertwined with each other.

In a way my journey was on a road least traveled and to tell you the truth I didn't see that it was better. It was just different. What I learned is that how I walk the path and how aware I am of the path is what is important. Both go hand in hand and with my soul as my companion, I was never alone.

My soul was right.........I am just fine.
