Disembarking View your arrival, what you have prepared for & all you packed within your cargo that was to help you undertake this expedition. Notice the strengths you contained, the weaknesses to overcome & your potential to be realised. Return back via your memories to the advent of your journey to ascertain the meaning at each juncture.
Overcoming This encompasses the trials you have encountered, the metaphorical steep climbs you have faced, the shear cliffs you have steered around & the precipices you stood upon & looked out from. How did you cope as you moved beyond the monotony & mundane demands of life to find an environment with undulating features that were designed to test you?
Meandering This is the healing section where you may have wondered through the twists & turns at a gentler pace. Did you use the time & space to find the inner & outer resolutions or develop a sense of peace surrounding the actions you took. Patience is practiced as a soothing balm in order to reflect on all you have come across. If you haven’t done this already – then now is your chance.
Discovering This is where you find your gifts, your gains, the precious moments & the accomplishments which now serve as memories within the backdrop that you have travelled. Whose hands have you held if only for a moment, whose hands have held yours? What support have you received, in turn have you given any out? What courage did you find, exhilaration experienced, laughter shared or tears shed?
Acknowledging This is where you identify the fortuitously divine dance that has taken place. Where the bumps & bruises, scrapes, grazes & accumulated dust all take on a more significant meaning. When you grasp the importance of having taken on this expedition, whether it has been full-on or slow paced, filled with wonder or devastation ~ take this moment to honour the messages contained within the pages of your story.
