Soul Musing - Better Than Before
The Crane Wife is an old Japanese fairy tale of a poor man who discovers a crane, pierced by an arrow, on his doorstep.
We get caught up in the chaos of our life and find ourselves
looking forward to the next distraction
- the week-end, the glass of wine, or that Louis Vuitton handbag.
But life passes us by; as we set our sights to the future, waiting,
hearts filled with anticipation, believing that whatever is around
the next corner will bring the happiness we crave.
We've missed the point, haven't we?
It's all smoke and mirrors. Nothing but a fleeting mirage.
Hi, I'm Stella, a Registered Nurse,
Certified Intuitive Tarot Reader & Creative Writer.
Welcome to my website.
For years I've searched for that illusion called happiness.
And then a lengthy illness taught me to surrender my need to control every aspect of my life, both in general, and in what I assumed was the road to said happiness.
It was only then that I discovered slivers of joy within the everyday.
Joy is, after all, a state of being.
One recognized within the simple details and rituals of daily life.
The warmth of the sun as it gently caresses the back of your neck,
the smile received when holding the door open for another, savouring the aroma of that perfect cup of coffee before the first sip.
Yes, I saw that smile.
Living each moment mindfully is the journey!
And when done right, time stands still.
I believe each of us, no matter where we are in our pilgrimage,
can embrace and cultivate a soulful life.
To key is living life with intention, in tune with the rhythm of
your beating heart and universal energies, in body, mind & Soul.
