There are few things as wonderful as a few hours spent sharing with a friend, running trough the whole range of feeling, from joy to anger to pain. It is such a simple blessing, so easy to attain: meet up with a friend, chat and share.
Today I have had such an experience, I've been blessed once again. And I have been reminded why it is so essential to follow one's heart, to put love/friendship/family/passion/you-name-it first and before all else. Seriously, it could have been so easy to be waylaid by the myriad elements in the day - the delay leaving work, the fact that I was feeling guilty for the previous week, the busy days ahead, the tasks that have not been finished as I would want to finish them, the coworker feeling lost whom I have not saved, dot. Dot. DOT.
So ominous, to know the list could be continued, that I can always find another reason to flagellate myself and forgo my choice, postpone my time with my friend.
So empowering, to a point even funny, to realise that those mighty obstacles were, in fact always are, but like minute pebbles in my shoe: if I want to walk, I simply must recognise they are there, stop and shake them out. And the main thing is, they WILL fall out! I will then be free to leave them by the road, and continue on my way.
The reward, on the other hand, is greater than a mountain, worthier than anything else, more varied and unexpected than clouds have shapes. You will follow your bliss and conquer your heart, maybe creating a fortune or a simple lemon drizzle cake. You will rediscover who you are, and relish it. You will experience what makes you aware.
Today, for example, I've spent time with my friend.
