Captivated I sat staring into the washing machine as the clothes spin. The timer reads 25 minutes to clean, this process of spinning and cleansing reminds me of my mind and life going through cycles. The clothes were exposed to dirt, yet still serve a purpose to cover, be seen and worn by me. My body is 60 percent water, biblically speaking I was created from dust, yet I am more valuable than the clothes that I wash and wear. Created for a greater purpose and given internal/external instructions to guide me along my path. Reading the internal instructions have been the hardest to comprehend. In this season of my life, I’m experiencing an awakening, a whole new understanding of who I am. I’ve spent so much of my time running from pain and failure, never stopped or stayed put long enough to figure me out. In this awakening, I am standing in the middle of myself, in the middle of my life, pausing to taking inventory of everything that has lead me to this moment. On this journey I’m preparing for what’s to come, and embracing the evolution who I am becoming. In the solitude, loneliness and pain, in the mundane task of simple things; I am discovering the depths of my soul.
