Write to Discover Your Authentic Life Path.
{source}
One of those mornings again.
Crawling between wakefulness and sleep in my bed; half-conscious when I feel an emptiness in me attacking at its strongest and feel that emptiness in all of my cells, as if life is passing by and I am just a passive observer with no idea on how to fill the hole.
Sometimes I am not even sure if I really want to fill it.
But then it happened. During this regular morning torture of mine, while I am still unconscious, I start dreaming. I immediately wake up just to start writing — yes, writing. My sleep is telling me to wake up to write to take control of my life and get rid of that passive observer character.
Just like running for water in the middle of a desert, whispering to me that my healing is in writing, followed by a poem, revealing itself to me in my morning wakening torture:
“When she starts writing,
Even the wildest rivers would stop running and hold their breath.
The mountains would watch her, melting away to a sense of awe.
The sky would become quiet just to help her hear the whispers of the fairies.”
I am still in my dream, and cannot believe that this is really happening. The best is yet to come.
This image of waking up and putting my hero costume on will help with never ever feeling frightened again of that emptiness for the rest of my life, because I had the costume on.
And now here I am by the table, writing, and feeling exactly like a hero, because I woke up just to write.
A hero, who will never leave her journey or go back to that struggle of feeling or trying to fill the morning emptiness, because the mornings are hers to write and the sky is listening with great pleasure.
Anybody can surely grab this hero’s costume. All it takes is some time and the will to write to heal yourself from constant emptiness and the passive observer archetype.
Write as if you are conducting a spiritual shamanic ritual using your fingers as the fire instead.
Write as if you are praying.
Write for discovering your authentic life path.
And it’s possible that you meet your compassionate Buddha, or your brave Artemis along with your frustrated Sisyphus on your writing path, and create a way for them to assist each other so that you can actually move to the next step.
