Each of us began our immigration from places unknown, vaguely remembered at best. We may not recall our origins, but those beginnings follow us in dreams and imagination. They sometimes haunt us like a forgotten melody. They sometimes spur us to reach beyond the horizon. These experiences remind us that our search for identity and meaning is ongoing.
Just as the pulse of our first heartbeat continues to thrum its way through each of our incarnations, our beginnings are never separate from us. That long-ago first coming into consciousness propelled us unerringly forward into the exploration of myriad unknowns – beautiful and ugly, ecstatic and painful – all of which push us to define who we are. In this way, our journey becomes one of discovering, shaping, and naming our soul.
With our souls shaped by both memory and experience, questions naturally arise: What’s the next step? Where do we go from here, and who do we need to be to get there?
These questions are a constant for me – they have no end; only beginnings. As soon as I’ve rounded the corner of what was once teasingly distant and mysterious, the questions return afresh. No matter what I’ve learned or sought to overcome, there is always more unknown to explore – infinite, ever-revolving facets of self, soul, and consciousness. The universe is infinitely available to share its secrets as long as I am willing to continue this quest for personal growth and understanding, even in the face of fear. Facing the unknown allows me to develop the resources I need; I am equipped with the capacity for possibility and transformation.
The blueprint for our lives is not set in stone, and we are encouraged to re-create our irrepressible divinity as we go. At the heart of this is our central talent and birthright: to continually refine ourselves, evolve, and adapt as our journey unfolds, shaping who we will become.
