My Way Back

There is a crack,
Just a little one,
Well by now it may be quite grand

In my shell,
Soft inside and kinda squishy
I live here.

And that is what I want to talk
About
My shell
It seems rather pale
In the moonlight,
It used to shine incandescent pearl
But maybe it’s just me.
Inside,
Insisting on more
Insisting on a conclusion
To something that carried me away
So long ago.

I forgot where I was born,
I forgot my beginnings
But lately I feel like this crack
Boldly crumbling away pieces of me
Here in my shell
Has some clue,
Some kind of sign
Allowing me to dim
My light
Just enough
So I can find my way back.

    Your light will never go out, dear Lina.. and you won’t just find your way, you’ll MAKE the path.

  • linaji replied

    Yes.. this law of attraction is Law!! and has brought me some mighty fine answers today.. I think I listened too much to what does not work rather than focusing on what does.. and you are so much a part of what does! thank you!

    The little chick working at that crack in the shell, enlarges it with its beak, until finally it pops its tiny head out. It continues breaking away at the shell and then steps out into a new world. A new life, to grow, learn and prosper!! :)

    soulful work Lina. The way I suspect (although surely there are many ways) is in the journal you just posted about beginnings. Seems these connect.

  • linaji replied

    Mary Ann.. what is interesting is the way my life in all it’s various stages sometimes revisits with a vengeance! Some little button is pushed and I am transported to a time an place in my life where what dominated my vibration was fear and not so much appreciation for self. So when I got hit ..blindsided really.. I will say that all of the 4 days to come back were not lost.. I found out much about the law of attraction once again as this is my work.. So amazing that nothing in my life anymore is a waste nor a set back.. As they say .. the kids here in the surf.. ‘IT’S ALL GOOD’!! XOXOXO I also wanted to say this about the Wall street piece.. did you notice the mud looks like a city skyline? I found that completly fascinating.. as I do you!!
