Time Away?

August Is Upon Us. Are You Ready?

Time Away?

When we have the chance to take a vacation thus taking time away from our busy lives, what are we really vacationing from? Are we saying to the reality we live in, “I’ve had enough” or are we making time for something else? Attitude and perception, I believe are key when ever the opportunity comes around to recharge one’s battery but what really lies underneath our spirit regarding the need to step away, to have time away from one’s typical life?

My personal madness, and yes we all have it, pertains to what I would decipher as remnants from past lives, residue which lingers between the crevices of my soul. Because my mind is always running full throttle, the time I take away from the everyday life I live is to simply find other things to do to occupy my time. Sometimes I wonder if I have dived to deep into my being while attempting to figure things out about myself. Some say the truth hurts which can become draining to the soul. Energy we need to perform not only our work but our everyday rituals becomes less and less and our lack of conscience and morality begins to vaporize into the cosmos, at least mine seems to anyway.

To step away from it all or to simply shift gears into a new way of thinking so as to analyze a part of me in a different way is refreshing thus even more reason to take time away. With that said, am I then really taking time away/vacationing or am I taking a new avenue/working, a new direction towards my soul so that I can become intrigued again regarding my study of self?

How many ways do we need to find ourselves interesting to ourselves so that we do not lose track of the spiritual path we are actually here in this life to follow? Like a student in a classroom listening to the details presented by the professor, we sometimes find ourselves dozing off regarding our spirituality not realizing as the student that we are also the professor. With that said, taking time away/out/off, vacation, holiday, gives us a chance to be the professor who strives to find ways to keep the student interested/focused on the curriculum/study of self being discussed.

With that said, it is time for me, my professor, to wake up my inner student and make myself more attentive to the wonderful world I am a part of as well as the precious world within. Please keep your hope alive, keep studying yourself, and continue to take time away to make yourself interesting to you again.

Blessed Be-
