Sometimes I think that we try to walk our life's journey but get bombarded with 'distractions'. You can imagine what I mean by distractions - I'm sure you have a set of your own distractions!
And we let these distractions distract us from the journey. Psst, psst - little do we know, that they are part of our journey and that we must engage them as so - not as distractions- but as part.
Sometimes the beautiful ugly. Sometimes the unexpected. Sometimes the hard. Sometimes the wind that makes the trunk of our souls curve over like a tree about to snap. Sometimes little hands that want to stop us and love on us, but we're busy. Sometimes growing girl thoughts that want us to stop and listen, but we're busy...
Life is life. Journey in the storm, amidst the chaos, the calm, the creative, the smiles.
I am determined to leave a touch of love as I walk through those distractions.

I totally agree! We are often told to strive for "the goal" whether it's our job or some of the artificially imposed goals of following Christ. What if some of those goals are our biggest distraction from the rest of the life we should be living? What if travelling the road is the goal?
ReplyDeleteI've often been told that the people I allow into my life are going to drag me away from my aspirations, that my friends should be put aside, that I should study more. For what? To be a pilot? To make lots of money? To avoid the shadowy corners of life because it's uncomfortable for the one providing that counsel? I would feel no fulfillment without most of the experiences I've had with some odd acquaintances. I say to hell with aspirations if they demand such things from me. But for now, I know that they do not...it is an artificial attempt, from the spiritual side of this world I'm sure, to distract me through people I love and respect.
Your last sentence reaches me especially. Let's leave the world stunned by the love we have on the journey, wherever it takes us :)
