Experiencing the balance!

Do you find that too often you focus on the end outcome and forget about the process of experiencing the journey? 

I know I do.

Today, as I walked through the sun filled street at the beginning of a new path in my journey I took a big deep breath and filled my lungs with the fresh air. Breathing in new life and experiences, the old walls and boundaries melt down into the earth and allow a sense of freedom to infuse my step.

I feel nourished. I have a fire burning in my belly. There is a sense of knowing that these steps are the right steps.

Of course, as with all new things a I feel butterflies dancing in my stomach (excited butterflies they must be). As part of  human nature we always want to know what the path will look like, how many bends there will be, who will we meet. Yet, I have made  a conscious effort to let go and flow like water and take one step at a time.

The process, the journey is the experience that guides us. Often we have a feeling of uncertainty, but within this the fundamentals of truth - fire, earth, metal, water and wood, lie. These elements thrive, dance, evolve, play and shift as we experience the journey. The fundamentals act and react to the steps we take on our path and provide the spirit, emotion and energy that we need to experience balance in our life.
