Soul Journey

Don't feel bad if I am sad, If you come across my blog and find it heavy, it's okay..

just walk away..

My mind and heart and soul are currently engaged in choice, in breathing and in feeling what I must, to be who I can.. who I am.

So here's a thought if you're feeling down.. sadness is not sadness without a searching of the soul; it is a selfish walk in fields of self-righteousness. And so, if I am sad, I want it to amount to something.. to some awakening, to some light upon this pathway of my life. Many have gone before that fully comprehend the depths of what I am living through.. here are a few..

After all, what's the point of sadness, if you can't leave the tears behind, and gather up the jewels of soul - learning?
