Our Wonderful Journey
Hello dear friends,
It is wonderful to connect with you once more. I pray that your beautiful souls may grow rich as you dance amongst the sweet meadows of life. 
Life is a wonderful journey, a journey that is rich in experience and feeling. One could say that we are eternal travellers in time and space, and also travellers within as we seek to navigate the ever changing seas of emotions. There are moments of great joy as one stands upon the pinnacle of momentous achievement, and yet there are also moments of great turmoil as one rides the crushing waves of ones inner canyons.
Once during a time of great change I spoke with my dear loving guide and friend Loutzen. He said, ?Marco, you do all you can to create a smooth life and yet you know that life was never really meant to be smooth?. I contemplated these words for a while and as I searched into my past, I realised the truth in his words. I realised that it was from moments of great challenge that I became not only a more humble and understanding person, but also one who was more compassionate, and considerate. I may not have seen it at the time, but I certainly see it now.
I came to realise that without an awareness of darkness I could not appreciate the radiance of light, that without cold I could not appreciate warmth, that without hardness I could not appreciate the softness. I came to realise that life could become a quite bland and uninspiring if it were void of such contrast. If I had never experienced hurt, would I have been inspired to look to within the rich depths of my soul for answers. If I had never felt pain, would I be who I am today, maybe not.
I realised that it was from my darkest moments, when the pain was too much to bear, when it was so easy to give up, that I truly found the strength within to lift me, a strength which I thought I did not have, the strength that seemed to come from no where. I realised that despite all the pain I had endured, and despite all the darkness that so wished to engulf me, that I am still here, and still here AS YOU ARE still here.
Life can get pretty tough at times, I know this, and when we experience times of great change, our world can be turned upside down. There are times when it becomes so dark that we lose all hope of finding a way out. And sometimes things become so unbearably painful that we cannot seem to find the strength to take the next step.
And yet, when we look at our amazing lives and the unique experiences which brought us to this very moment, we come to realise that somehow somewhere we always found the strength we needed to take us through our darkest times. And to realise that we can make it, that we can be who you wish to be, that we can be where you wish to be.
The fact is, you are far greater than you can ever imagine, far more amazing that you might ever comprehend, far wiser than you could ever contemplate. You are an eternal traveller and within the sacred chambers of your shining heart you have all the tools you will ever need to take you where ever you need to go. There are no limits to what you can achieve, no mountain that you cannot climb, no challenge that is too great. You hold within your beautiful heart, the wisdom of all creation, you are . . . . amazing
Dear soul, you have experienced so much in your precious life, you have been to the lowest of the low and been lifted to such breathtaking heights. Time now to reflect a little, and to drink the sweet nectar of fond memories and loving thoughts before you set off on the next leg of your journey. Rest a little, smile a little, dance a little, love a lot. Reach to where the heart smiles and to where you feel nothing but goodness. Reach dear soul to where your heart feels nothing but . . . . love.
Thank you for the beautiful light you bring to this earth, may your every moment be blessed.
Marco
