Time to realise

I had one of those extremely rare and shocking awakenings through a conversation with a soul mate. My soul mate has nothing to do with puppy dog love or an idealistic love affair. I'm talking about a friendship so deep and fulfilling, it has extended over many life times. We chatted about the future, we chatted about the purpose of life especially in this critical time. We couldn't keep the tears from rolling down our cheeks as we realised the concept of compassion and love together. We realised more than ever before the power of friendship and understanding of other human beings. We realised how much we have to do in such a short space of time and how strong we have to be to continue, even if it is all by ourselves.

I am talking about a moment in time when a friend cares so much for you that she shares with you a truth that will truely elevate you spiritually and capitvate the essence of purpose. Or in Layman's terms, it was a truth about life that kicked my arse in to gear. I was so overcome with emotion and awakening that the way I see the world far out weighs the desire to live a blind existence. I felt it all along. She confirmed that nagging urgency.

I'm probably making no sense to the people reading this blog right now. I have been a part of an experience that completely flips my perception to what is truely important. The time has come for me to let go of those ridiculous attachments I hold so dear. The time has come to be brave and face my demons head on with sincerity and love.The time has come to realise the importance of knowing and putting that into practise. Inner cultivation and outer practise.

I stare at that black and white picture I took in South Africa.Boats waiting beside a massive ocean, yearning to be filled with people and to be used for its sole purpose of travel and a change of scenary. It wants to help us realise how small we are in the grand scheme of things. My question is how do we get others to realise that the time has come to move, to act and to enjoy the blissful freedom that has been promised to us. We aren't free until we learn to dig deeper, think with more focus, live with more hope, share more, forgive always and help others do the same.
