I stood before myself-stripped naked baring my soul for all to see. It was terrifying as I once felt a hole so large I thought I'd fall into it. A hole that I now realize was merely an illusion. I am slowly learning that "I am that which I am seeking." It is a relief. As I sit alone in my new favorite coffee shop (in Lexington of all places) I am at ease. I am at peace. Peace of mind is priceless. I am rarely lonely-if anything I am a loner to a fault. I feel centered today and for that I am grateful. Thank you God for some of the interesting people I've met recently-my now dear Friend from India who has lived all over the world. He is so enthusiastic for life it's contagious. We are purely platonic friends but he has shown me cultural differences and meditation techniques. I am learning the world is so much larger than I imagined. I want to travel the world and will one day do so. I've crept out of my comfort zone no longer being a homebody. It is liberating. I discovered "...as we live our lives in chains we never even know we have the keys"....Today I am blessed. I am grateful. I no longer feel a void or hole that needs to be filled. Today I am whole.
