Let Us Re-Connect

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

I’m not sure if you (hoping that there has been a visitor or two here) still come by, to take a peep at these words, to escape (I sincerely hope my writing gives some sort of respite from the trials and tribulations of everyday life, from the monotonous routine).

So, here we are.

Me, trying to re-connect with my soul – through writing since it’s the first way I know how, because lately, I have been feeling a little lot lost.

I have been floating through Life, feeling nothing but exhausted and exasperated.

Un-inspired and dispirited.

Fundamentally, doing myself a great injustice, by being a spectator to my own Life unfolding before me. As if I was hired to watch, not to actively partake in the doings, the goings or the givings and in essence, I have created for myself quite a sorry state of affairs.

That’s how I feel but I wouldn’t put money on the fact that it shows.

My life is seemingly perfect: I finally moved out of the nest. I have a well-paying job, I have a good man? And I am healthy, plus, I wear lipstick every day!

Things are, so to speak, picture perfect.

I paused for a minute yesterday morning while I walked to work.

There is this spectacular view of the eastern side of the Nairobi National Park. And in that moment, I suddenly felt so small and insignificant, that a sense of guilt washed over me:

 “What the hell am I doing simply existing and not living?”

And then the thought came to me slowly and sweetly. As if it was stirring itself from a deep slumber from the depth of my consciousness, caressing my thoughts like a gentle Lover would:

Honey, you have to MOVE!

Move your Heart. Move your Soul. Move your Spirit.

Do something, please. Do not let yourself wilt through the seasons. Do not let your fire be consumed to nothing but meaningless embers because you have become too contented to your being wedged by the ills of everyday Life.

Move yourself into Growth; let the Universe/Spirit guide you. Honor the Divine in you.

Heal. Embrace. Awaken.

So,

I’m on a rescue mission, starting small; taking baby steps.

One of the best ways I have discovered over time to re-connect is to travel.

So, I have signed up for The Mt. Suswa Rim Challenge which is on 4th of next month and the Zania Falls Expedition on the 27th of this month.

(And speaking of moving, these hikes, I have heard are no small task. So I better get to jogging!)

We have to start from somewhere, don’t we?
