Moving
Always moving
One step forward towards life
Or one step back towards death
One is light
Shining star bright in the sky
Celestial being
Being born
Into new heights
One is dark
Looking beneath the ground
Buried depths
Undue pressure
Moving
Always moving
Choices on the road
Signs point to direction
Where would you like to go
But standing still is also an option
A waiting room
Holds anticipation in its grasp
Desires born out of necessity
It’s up to you
It’s all up to you
You can only wait so long
Before your dreams die
And your soul
Soon follows
Ah!
This quote spoke to the depths of my soul!
This is exactly what I have felt. Exactly what I have dealt with my entire life and never had the understanding or the words to describe it. It was just a feeling that would take over my being and I watched as my heart cried.
The dark passenger that has frequented my journey on occasion is the depth of my sadness that I stopped moving forward. That I stopped creating from my soul; lost my connection to the Magnificence of Creation! That I allowed doubt or fear to cloud, not only my judgement but especially, my vision, my way, my…destiny.
As soon as I read it, I felt both poles – the incredible light and intuitive peace that comes from following your soul’s purpose, and the exact opposite – the darkness and despair of either standing still frozen in fear, or worse – walking in the other direction – walking away from life and towards death.
As simple as it may seem, it is a most profound understanding that has taken many years to comprehend.
THE DARK PASSENGER IS MY SOUL CRYING OUT TO WARN ME THAT THE ROAD I HAVE CHOSEN IS THE ONE THAT LEADS AWAY FROM MY PURPOSE!
In quiet contemplation I connect with my soul, and I feel the warm embrace as we nod in agreement. There is new understanding – a new connection that is born of necessity, and in ease. As I take each step, I will honor my journey with the knowledge that I AM in control.
I send this post out to you all with the energy that you, too, will have discernment and always choose to “live a little more!”
Blessitude!

Beautiful, Lorrie! This is soul-nourishing writing! Love you! 😍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Awwww…Ka! Thank you, my friend…💜🙏😊
Beautiful Lorrie. May we all keep finding our way Home 💐🙏🏻💖
Yes…our way HOME! Thanks, Val.
Hope your friend is doing well <3
A serenade to the heart Lorrie, daring us to see our journey. And strong, so very strong…to dare us to go beyond it and face those parts that hold such questions. But…thankfully…an emotion to gauge them all, find that path where those feelings are strongest with that love and happiness we ever seek.
Even at its lowest from life, in such struggle that we ever think we cannot make it…is a light. Each time we hug, each time we even chat, a connection, a spur to go beyond it, reach out and share. It is a magnet that love, ever calling its opposite so we can see where we are in that very light.
A great post kind lady, even a call to arms to share what we feel. I feel it well. Big, big hugs kind lady. There is a purpose, a very beautiful one for us all. And you speak it well. Thank you for sharing your light ❤️🙏
I love it, Mark. I know there are gems in every one of your responses and sometimes I have to re-read them a few times to get it all. But the overall impression is that you KNOW exactly what I am trying to convey…and in the big picture, that feels so incredibly freeing…so beautifully CONNECTED!
“Find the path,” yes…we spend so much time wandering…lost (reminds me of John Denver’s song from a few posts ago….The Wandering Soul) and to know that our emotions are the signposts…the determinant to whether we are walking to our purpose…or walking away…is just so powerful.
For so many years when I experienced my big emotions it always seemed like they were attached to situations created by other people. But this new way of thinking…of KNOWING…that at the end of the day my world is governed by my thoughts and actions…and take that one step further…that when I truly respect this place of design I am connected with Spirit on a much higher level, which enables me to see, hear, feel MORE! I know I am rambling…but the feelings are so strong and I wish to share them. Thank you for listening…for understanding…for adding to the consciousness!!
Sending all good energy and lots of love and light too!
Yes, Lorrie! Light and darkness are such contrasting metaphors. I love what you wrote about embracing growth – expanding our lives, instead of contracting. Yours insights always inspire me, my friend!
Thank you, Judy <3 It's kind of exciting to understand the darkness I have felt in my life. I'm certain that there can be "different" reasons, but there have been times that I had no idea why I felt the darkness...and now I can look back and understand that the times I had no idea were the times that I was way off track.
Sending lots of love and light to you, Judy...sure hope that things are well in your world <3
