Shhh… my Soul is talking, listen.

I have reached a crossroads of sorts in my emotional life. Or more accurately I have changed paths at the latest crossroads. As of late I find myself being happy with who I am. It had been a while since I felt true happiness. What I mean, is that I believe there are two types of happiness. The superficial, or maybe it is not superficial, but rather it is momentary. Like when you hear your new favorite song for the first time. Then there is the true deep happiness that comes from within you. The happiness that you allowed yourself to feel from something that originated inside your mind, body and/or soul. The latter of those two is what I have had the joy of experiencing as of late.

I wish I could pinpoint for you what it is that brought on the change. The metaphysic in me says it was a choice. The logic in me says it was the lifestyle change. I am grateful for whatever it is that has allowed me to feel this happiness. When I am in this state of mind creativity flows through me freely, and happily.

When I was a kid I used to write what I perceived to be poetry, and let me tell you if I still had those old notebooks, we could all have a good laugh. But like many things they were lost along the way of this adventure I call life. However, even then with my stunted knowledge of the English language and limited skill of communication I felt the need to write. Write my feeling, thoughts and most important the many questions I had.

I questioned everything. From the reason for my existence, to the religion I was born into, to what I would be when I grew up. You may wonder how a child or maybe more like a tween could have depth in thoughts, but I did. Although, I did not get far on my quest because then puberty hit with full force, and I went boy crazy. Putting the yearning for the meaning of life on the back burner.

Here I am again 35 years past my tweens and back to asking myself, the Universe, and on occasion you, the questions that tumble around my head. Writing is no longer done in a spiral notebook, but on an iPad and the only thing that stays the same is the Creative flow that has existed in me since the start of my existence. That creative flow comes from within me and it makes me happy.

Which is why I am here sharing this moment with you. By the way thank you for stopping in and giving me some of your time today. You have made me smile. The knowing that you were curious enough or cared enough to see what I have to say means the world to me.

Do you have moments of creativity that just flows over you or maybe through you? If so, how do you let it take form? Do you draw, cook, or maybe write? Whatever form your creativity takes I hope you will share it with me.

Knowing only love and happiness for you.
