**Awoke Within a Mystery**
Pondering how the exploration I've undertaken has reshaped the lens through which I apprehend the world, my experiences, and literally the ground of my being.
The nuances, the resonances — finding my yearning expressed through the words of all the great spiritual traditions. I take the manna which feeds my soul and leave that which does not.
I've always had an inkling that the spiritual journey by necessity must be undertaken from a point of unknowing. For me, the journey requires loosening my hold on certainty and the residue of institutional religiosity — not discarding them entirely, but refusing to let them foreclose what might be encountered..
I look back at the road traveled and see many false starts, and many invitations to start that were never undertaken. Trying to find not a path, but the destination.
Even within the framework of today — the resonance, the déjà vu, the excitement just to awake, whether in a spiritual or agnostic state — and to not actually know, but to sense at the very least that there are breadcrumbs that always lead back to the love, the connectedness, the knowingness that arrives just like Grace:
Unearned , Undeserved , and a Freely given gift.
I of myself am an earthbound physical creature whose redemption, connectedness, and ethereal home are embodied within the spark that Sophia placed in every human.
I am Stardust

Sooner or later a person begins to notice that everything that happens to her is perfect, relates directly to who she is, had to happen, was meant to happen, plays its little role in fulfilling her destiny.
The affirmation of one's own life-the acceptance of one's destiny as it manifests itself in each moment-is the supreme act of faith
It's incredibly fucking easy
It's a hell of a commitment.
