The Winds of Transformation

Filled with movement.
Filled with changes.
This is the journey that we are on. Never the same. Always changing.
These are the Winds of Transformation.
The wind blows changes our way each day, do we dare capture this wind to ride the tail skirts seeing where it leads us? The winds of change is sent to us for a reason. Our purpose not readily known to us yet we feel the strong current towing us upwards towards the sky. Flying with great speed somewhere. The trip may bring us to a path that may not be familiar. Standing at a crossroad that we do not know which way to turn. We peak out from the comfort of the shroud that we wear, peering with caution. We take care in studying the paths presented us. Seeking safety before we take that first step on our adventure.
As we look out towards the paths, we wonder which path is ours. Which path will be the one that will take us to the destination where we belong with the less trials. Each path looks the same, but we know that they are not. Each will lead us on an adventure where we will learn new things, meet new people and experience something different. One will be the wrong road while the other the right road, but maybe both roads are right leading us to the same end result. Only one will be more difficult to travel.
While we ponder this off to the side a guide may appear. Giving us no answer to the path to take, simply there as a silent traveling companion. Yes, they know where we are supposed to go. Knowing which is the right path, but the are silent. Allowing us to choose alone.
Giving us no sign, standing there waiting for our decision. We are uncomfortable at certain points knowing to well that choosing the wrong road may cause us harm. We feel another cool breeze touching our cheek. It is time to move towards change. Accepting which road to follow we venture out. We have made the first steps on the path towards change. We are uncertain filled with trepidation. Glancing over our shoulder we see our guide is following at a slower pace but still there. There is no expression of approval.
The wind of transformation has enveloped us now. There is no turning back no matter which path we are on. Yes, we are able to change the dips and valleys, but the main course has been set. Looking for answers to questions that have not yet been asked we beseech the wind to come to our aid.
We seek the wind of change to revitalize our energy.
Filling us with the healing powers that wind is able to lend us.
Cleansing our spirits as we travel
Allowing the wind of change to encompass us
Our journey into transformation is not an easy one. It makes no difference as to which road we chose, we realize this finally. It appears that this is the first lesson learned. That may be one of the hardest lessons that we will have learned. Or is it? Only time will tell us.
Our travels on the path that we have chosen are filled with surprises. These surprises may not always be good. In fact some will be so heart felt that we personally wonder why this happened to us. The lesson is there for us to digest and find the answer. For the answer is there for us to see. The lesson is there in the open but we are at times to blind .
Our guides our there through our entire travels. We may not always see them but they are felt. Leaving a sign here and there for our own comfort. They will help us to remain on the right path. That is if we remain open to their voices. It is when we build walls around ourselves that we loose their voices in sound proof rooms. These are the times that we feel the loneliness, the sorrow of loss. Only when we let the wind blow away the walls will the voices be heard once more.
Embrace the transformation that is presented to you. For embracing will help to lead you to the final destination of your travels. Learn as much as you possibly can. Help those around you that are traveling on a road less uncertain to them. Leave your inner ear open to hear the whispers of guides that enter your world.
No matter what the change is that has blown your way know that it has come to you for a deeper reason. Do not fear changes. For if you do not accept the changes of paths you will stagnate and not grow.
Allow the winds to carry your spirit onward on new paths of adventures. Soak in the experiences. Thank your guides for allowing you to seek the unknown.
Travel as far on your path as you can.
Catch a ride on the tail winds and soar.
