I stepped into the desert…
…looking for answers.
Carrying questions too heavy for words.
Time stopped.
And I completely lost myself.
It was out of my hands…
…so it deserved freedom from my mind too.
I let go.
And in the letting go…
I met myself.
Everything I lost…
created space
for everything I need.
That’s when…
I found myself.
The desert stripped away everything I wasn’t.
Surrounded by other souls,
each of us searching for the same thing in different ways.
I wasn’t alone.
We helped each other find lost pieces.
We held space, shared silence, carried each other through storms seen and unseen.
Deep in your eyes I saw my own pain.
Deep in your soul I saw my own beauty.
The destination?
It was never a place.
It was me.
Always me.
In the end…
It’s the journey that shapes us more than the destination ever could.
Journey.
A journey of me, through me, for me.
There is no end.
Only the next rising.
Under a sky too vast for fear…
I finally understood.
Not everything needs answers.
Maktub.
It is written.
And it is beautiful.
