Passages

Passages

I walk through the corridors of this mansion. I have been given no guide or map to take me where I want to go. The ages pass by like paintings on the wall….my knowledge grows as I pass and glance at each painting. The floor is lined with a beautiful carpet and I pause to study the intricate design, noticing some stains and spots, I then think to myself, “The carpet looks just as beautiful with them, contributing to the entire design.” Each room has a memory, some bring absolute joy, some bring heartbreaking pain and I got through the waves of emotions as I enter each room. Each emotion brings about another and my heart swoons as I go through the high and low tides of emotion. I walk on and notice curious looking art objects on the mantelpiece, each one reminding me of a phase I went through. I look around and a feeling of comfort comes over me, telling me I belong here. I seat myself on the floor and wonder what made me come this way with no help or guidance. I then hear a voice within me, telling me, “There is a guiding light, its way of guiding you is letting you go wherever you to go, because it knows you know the way. What you want and seek is deep within you and to bring it to surface, you had to go through all the passages and corridors of this mansion...this mansion called LIFE. “
