Rerouting with Grace: On the Path towards Enchantment

Just when I thought the world got its hands on me, along came Ven, a conduit of grace, who helped set me free.

Inviting me to return to the present moment through a running spree, little did I know, that that was exactly where I needed to be for me to experience utter glee.

Every time I run, I’m able to fully express the capacity of living without restrictions, immediately moving the needle from a state of constriction to one of total expansion.

As I surround myself with more spaciousness and greenery, it, in effect, loosens my grip on this socially-constructed timeline built in my own head.

Ven showed me that where I am right now IS, in fact, BEAUTIFUL AND BRAVE. And that life is meant to be savored in the here and now. Even if I find myself at a fork in the road, unsure with where to go, I can still own the moment and seize the day! There’s no need to jeopardize my own pace because life is not a race.

Needless to say, spending quality time with Ven has been immensely healing! What sprouted out of our very wu wei friendship, and all the learnings and grapplings we spoke about and exchanged, is this:

Although growing isn’t always the most picturesque scene, we shouldn’t antagonize “messing up” as it is part of the process. After all, mistakes or negative experiences are nuggets of opportunities waiting to be mined and at some point, laughed about too!

The more that I talk to and run with Ven, the more clarity and harmony there is between my thinking mind and beating heart, enabling me to be one with all that is and one with all that is me in the midst of uncertainty.

Thank you Ven for seeing me the way that you do, for believing in me, and for constantly reminding me that my body is wisdom-filled, with all the answers already there. Clearly, you percolated something radically new; you planted quite a seed in my energetic field. And now I can somehow enjoy the uncertainty of it all, at least every time I run, I remember to.

On the cusp of change, a season of germinating, I choose to pursue myself, trusting that the path will unveil itself and that I’ll be able to recognize it, now that I’m more self-attuned with ears perked up ready to listen afresh to the cues of my body.

That’s all I know thus far and for now, that’s more than enough!

“Whatever will be, will be.”
