I came to India in search of adventure, to see the wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal, the palaces, the beautiful temples and meet it's beautiful people. What I didn't expect to find was a glimpse of my soul - stripped of superficial masks and binds.
It's reflection presented before me in various ways. Through, the harsh pounding of the waves whose strength diminished as it reached the sand, enveloping it and caressing it in it's foamy retreat. In the varied sunsets I have witnessed daily since my arrival in Anjuna. In the past moments when I've had to maintain my composure and keep the stillness in my heart amidst the inevitable chaos. I've been to many spiritual places in the world, and though it's undeniable the impact and the awe I had experienced as I stood before them, I have never felt the presence and the beckoning of my inner soul. Nor was I ever beckoned to contemplate, reflect and meditate on my very own existence. Now that I have had a glimpse of the true soul that resides in me, I have developed an insatiable curiosity to discover the whole of it.
This journey started as a dream to see the world with my own eyes and create my own experiences and memories upon visiting the far corners of the world, but this portion of the trip,the exploration of India, has developed into a spiritual journey in which I discover the core of my soul. My limits, my boundaries my weaknesses and my strengths. Some may think it's a journey to find myself but that is untrue. I am who I am. The remainder of the journey is to discover the essence of my true limitations and to reflect upon the choices I've made which has shaped me into who I am. To discover the benefits and adverse effects of these choices in order to help me become a better person. A better daughter, sister, aunt, friend, coworker, traveler and any other role I may embody in this lifetime.
It was then that I realized this was not only going to be another adventure into a world unknown but also journey in which I discover the depths of my own soul.
