An Unfamiliar Place

A young man found himself in a sad place. Everything around him made him sad. One day he made up his mind to leave. So he left.  He left everything that was familiar. He needed to escape. He wanted to go where no one knew him. Once he came to an unfamiliar place he stopped for a short break. For some reason he wasn’t scared in the new place. He knew he didn’t have to worry about the same things he left. The young man didn’t like people looking beyond the surface of who he was.  He feared being ridiculed and judged for being different. He remember being looked down on by people who didn’t understand him. He tried to distant himself as much as possible from the world.

While he was in this unfamiliar place surrounded by trees and bushes he looked around and realized he felt calm. He had never been this far from home. As he looked around he saw all types of trees. Big trees, small trees, wide trees, hollow trees. He also saw flowers, four leaf clovers, acorns and squirrels. He was completed surrounded by nature. As the young man walked around he found a tree that looked familiar and he didn’t know why.

He walked around the tree to see if he could figure out why it looked familiar but nothing came to his mind. As he was walking around the tree he saw what looked like a door. He pressed against the bark of the tree and it open. He knew he was supposed to go through the door. He had a tingling feeling in him stomach that let him know he would be okay.  Once he walked through the door he saw a stairwell that lead down to an open space beneath the tree.  When he reached the bottom stair he looked around and saw what look looked like a secret room. It was a mystic workshop with some type of Being standing on the opposite side of the room. The Being looked different than anything he had ever seen.  He never said a word.  He stood there watching the Being work with oils and herbs. He could feel that the Being knew everything about him but he didn’t feel embarrassed even though it was one of his insecurities. He stood there wondering if he should say something or if he should wait on the Being to acknowledge him.

Time went on and he continued to stand there watching the Being mixing and creating. The Being seemed so confident in what it was doing. Once the young man saw the confidence the Being expressed he began to let his guard down and open up. His physical body started to changed. A light started to shine through.  He released everything that he had been hiding. His true identity revealed itself as every part of his physical body started to disappeared.  A new understanding was unveiled. His true conscience was exposed. The Being began to changed to its true form as well. The purpose of the Being was to become a mirror and reflect whatever was close by. The vibration from the being resonated with the guy and he had no choice but to leave his current state and return to what was familiar. Once he choose to fully see, fully feel, fully understand and accept his true self he broke through and showed what had been there all along. It was the purest express of love that had ever been known.  The young man was no longer the same. He could no longer identify as a human, a person or a Being. All that could be seen was a white shimmer that shinned and emitted unconditional love.

Evolving is inevitable. The amount of time it takes to evolve is a choice. Connect with what connects with you. What you notice, is the thing that is calling you. The birds flying in the air, the tree in the back, the clouds in the sky. They are all speaking to you. Listen. Feel. Acknowledge. Whether you physically hear a response or not you are communicating with everything. Tune out the everyday noises and listen to the squirrel, feel the butterfly coming before you see it, hear the wind before you feel it. You are connecting and connected. We are one. This is your community.
