Once in a while life throws you a curve ball. As befits it’s name, this ball of life does not follow a straight path. In fact, it’s trajectory twists, turns and sometimes spirals out of control. As you try to keep up with it’s fast travel, you find yourself far away from home, sometimes wondering how you got there and other times knowing quite well how this came to be.
The magical mess found herself on just such a trip. It all started with different perspectives, opposite directives and finally an impasse. That lead to a parting of the ways for a time. But I’m glad to report, I’m home again.
An impasse doesn’t have to mean something permanent. In fact it can be used as a spring board to figuring out life’s most important parts. I have indeed figured out my life’s most important parts and they revolve around love, loyalty and time. These round out my existence.
This magical mess has faults aplenty but none of them include disloyalty. I love intensely and am loyal beyond measure. That’s why my close circle is so small. It takes a lot out of me to feel these large emotions and I don’t give them out willy nilly.
This all brings me back to being home. Home is not just a structure, a plot of land, or a room. No, it’s a heart, a soul, a being that you are meant to inhabit all the days of your life. I luckily found that 40 years ago and, even though not perfect, I still fit snugly and find rest with one soul in the universe. Thank heavens, we found each other. I am home again with peace, joy and time enough to love, even more than before.
