Life as a Golden Journey well lived…

This idea popped into my mind this morning as I am starting my day. In this pondering of The Golden Journey, it takes me to a place inside me that exists independently of my outer world.

Hmmm…as I let that thought settle in my mind for a while. So what is the Golden Journey and why or how does it exist independently form the details, people, and stuff that goes on in the world around me?

Beginning clearer of The Golden Journey…
It feels like a flow. It feels like an inner urging. It feels like a warm light, a kind friend, and a big hug. My favorite anything.

What is it, this presence inside me?
I know it has always been there and now it seems different. Almost like the light has been turned on, like its time to do something, be something, and live something.

So I step out of this feeling for a moment. I can move away from it but it never completely goes away. I can’t detach from it, nor do I want to. I can know these feelings and turn my back. I can work hard at blocking this presence. But, I can’t completely disconnect.

None of this is what I want. I do not want to be separate from this…
I want to bathe, jump, dance, and bask in this golden feeling like a playful limitless person that I really am at my core.

The Golden Journey is part of my core…
This playful feeling reminds me of freely playing in a freshly flooded parking lot just after a huge rain. It was perfect. We were already in beach clothes heading out for breakfast and then the beach. The idea was an instant shot of playfulness. We all looked at each other as the thought rang through our minds in an instant. Looking at each other and then the large body of water a foot deep, playfulness abounds in the instant we let them bubble through our souls.

In what seemed like a well orchestrated movement, we jumped into the playfulness of the moment and the water. Splash went the water in every direction as we jumped, danced, and purged our souls in that moment of the ordinary and expected. It was like the fountain of youth springing forth in us, or better yet the fountain of the Golden Journey. For me it springs connectedness, playfulness, creativity, harmony, joy, and so much more

That was a few years ago. I know if I think for a moment that I have had more experiences that feel like this one. So in the past we can find the idea of Golden Journey moments to string together to help us clarify what it is for us. In the moment of the now, the Golden Journey is to discover the unfolding in a greater way. It is something that we bring forth into our day in how we look at ourselves and the world around us. It is our job to bring it from inside us into the world around us. It is our contribution connecting this in the “now” with the future of unfolding of a kinder, gentler us.

So far today let the Golden Journey in all of us to be playful!
It continues opening in me and in you… are you willing to play?

Warmly,
Dana
