Call it a Feeling

So there I was walking home in the stillness and I stopped to listen and breathe and absorb what was around me. Silence. That is all I heard. Not even a distant car pass by on the slushy street, or the footsteps of another fool walking so late in the night. And as I stood still for that brief moment shuddering in the cold a feeling grew from the pit of my stomach and reached up and wrapped itself around my entire being like a comfortable blanket tucked by the loving hands of a mother. The feeling was one of warmth and tenderness. It may not be the easiest to explain or even the easiest to understand - yes it may seem that I am some pompous smartass, but I am not. Just writing what I feel, simply that. The feeling was one of a near future. A feeling of greatness, a feeling that my destiny awaits me and that soon the answers will be in hand. The rambling here gives no justice to that exact moment in time, the comfort felt and the belief and satisfaction in that feeling. Perhaps subconciously it was me picking myself up. But from what? I haven't really fallen per say, but maybe just a boost for me to realize my full potential. I will confess and admit that I really haven't been living up to my full potential, that I have been slack at achieving my goals. But then again, we all need a bit of a hiatus from ourselves for a bit. Maybe that feeling was a hand helping me along the way or a visit from a spirit that seems to have followed and guided me through countless countries and experiences. A spirit that I really haven't sensed for a while, but has made his entrance in my life once again. I really can't answer what it was or even who it was, but I can only say "it was." I guess in some way it was a reassurring touch that I am on the right path and heading in the right direction. I can't say what that road entails or even in what direction I am headed, but if my feeling is right, I will know soon. Of course I will keep you posted. But until then, read a little piece of astrology that showed up in my email box today...something to think about.... You want to know it all. You'd still be miles ahead of everyone, even if you felt like explaining. Don't bother stopping to pick up what falls through your hands. Something just as good or better is still ahead of you.
