There comes a point in Life when we all wonder, even question our purpose. It is the great mystery behind the facade our Soul can only see through…
It is almost like a never ending labyrinth. We start with great intention… entering the Labyrinth… the maze of life… We enter yet are never told… we walk blindly into Life not realizing there is a purpose… when we finally see we are in too deep and feel we must back track to find the meaning… this is where we get lost… for there are many mirages… many false hopes… yet it is a journey we must travel… for what of a journey if there are no memories… why even take the trip… why live… if there is nothing to live for?
It is true we live and get lost in the labyrinth of life… In the end we find the path was there all along. Too engulfed in trying to uncover a great secret, too busy to look beyond ourselves…we missed the path and became engulfed in the maze. There is one secret however… normally it takes a lifetime to uncover… There is no wrong way… so in turn there is no maze… only illusions which make it seem more difficult than it truly is…
We have found our way… our eyes open and ready for the adventure… for we must go back to see what we missed. Our burdens which were carried for so long have been deposited in the maze… we must face them and learn from them… Our lessons which were learned from so many others are left wandering the web we spun… we must find them and let them free…
Our mission is to solve the puzzle… mission complete… for now… for this moment… the soul is strong… yet the mind forgets… each morning we awake to find we face a new day… this day a new maze… yet there is something within… we simply have forgotten…
Just remember… we find the answers and learn and know… yet to live the learned life is to live alone… to break the boundaries of life and retreat from the labyrinth is a noble feat … yet to live within is a more heroic… for the mind and soul are connected yet not… this time we journey together and learn from the maze… for what is life if there is nothing else to learn…
Let us find our way in the maze… journey on…
From Wikipedia:
In colloquial English labyrinth is generally synonymous with maze, but many contemporary scholars observe a distinction between the two: maze refers to a complex branching (multicursal) puzzle with choices of path and direction; while a single-path (unicursal) labyrinth has only a single, non-branching path, which leads to the center. A labyrinth in this sense has an unambiguous route to the center and back and is not designed to be difficult to navigate.
Life is not inherently difficult to navigate. We make it that way.
thanks for the definition… and i agree… life is not difficult to navigate… we live and then we come to our ends… whenever they may be… I don’t believe we make things difficult… I think we handle ourselves the best we know how
When the purpose of thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.
Thanks for your thoughts Keiki… we all find our way eventually
Enreal! 🙂 How wonderful to read your words again after so much time! And – in that crazy cool way of synchronicity – I just wrote about ‘purpose’ myself yesterday…having recently ressurected my blog.
One of the things I’ve been pondering, is the idea that our “purpose” in life is mostly a ‘theme’…vs, say, a job or an action. For example (and I didn’t give one) Perhaps is “Grace” or “Unconditional Love” or “Courage”. And so that theme runs through all of the choices we make, and the situations we deal with.
xoxo hugs to you.
Grace!!! welcome back stranger! thanks for your wisdom here… see you around 🙂
