You never know where the Gods will direct your path. Sometimes you get a hint of the future, but it's only a tantalizing glimpse of the future yet to come.You don't know when or how, only that something will be important one day.
That's where I am now. I've known for most of my life where in the pagan path my life was meant to be, but I had no idea how I would get there. The path has been much like a labyrinth. At the beginning I could see the center, but since then I would get closer or farther, depending on where I was standing within the circuit. At certain points during the journey, there are waypoints - chances to make a needed change to get us where we are supposed to be. However, if we don't take that opportunity and make that choice we don't move forward. Instead the center remains tantalizingly out of reach, yet still visible to us over the horizon.
I wrote the first part of this a couple days ago. Today all is different. Today I was denied for my Disability. It's funny how one little piece of paper can affect your life so. Once again, I am on a loop from which I can see the destination, yet it's not as close as it had seemed. Most of those around me responded with anger, disbelief, or tears. However I had a long talk with someone who reminded me that this is simply another loop on this spiral. She had no idea I was writing this blog either. It's just what she was guided to say.
I have always been called to labyrinths. It's been almost an obsession. Silly me, I never noticed that the times when they pop up in my life strongly are the times when i'm about to turn a new circuit. Think about that for a moment. Have you noticed anything that appears every time some major change is about to happen in your life? I bet you'll discover that it has some major symbolism for those changes.
Those of you who know me personally or who have been following know my life has undergone some major transitions over the past year. Much has been very difficult. However now that I realize why my personal symbol is a labyrinth I am much calmer and it makes more sense. i can plan - in a way. I know that i will have these long smooth periods with the occasional sudden drastic change. Granted, that's not always so pleasant. However I also can know that I will get glimpses of where I am meant to go. That makes it easier. I am fortunate enough to be able to see bits of my ideal future. How lucky am I ?!?!
I admit, I am kinda down about the disability decision, but I know that it will work out at some point as it should be. There is a reason for this. You never know, maybe I simply need a bigger back-pay check so I can get my car fixed. I don't know. I do know that I am on track and going where I am supposed to. For now, I have to trust that I am doing as I'm supposed to and let things happen as they will. Easier said than done, of course. I guess that makes this a good time to work on patience too!
