SEEDS OF PERPETUITY 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just beneath the surface of our daily lives, a deep current flows, the subtle murmur of a forgotten agreement, the shimmering echo of the original dream held within each soul. This dream is a fragile thing, flickering in and out frequently doused by the clamor of the world, immediate needs, expectations, and urgent distractions. Yet, the soul’s yearning remains, a seedling just beneath the surface of consciousness. It tugs at the edges of our thoughts, whispers of what could be, of what should be.

It's the reason we chase certain passions, feel drawn to specific people, and experience that unsettling sense of déjà vu – a fleeting echo of the life we were meant to lead. When we remember even a small piece of why we came to life, we pull the seeds of perpetuity farther into the world of time. "The inner seed keeps trying to sprout, but often our fate places us at a crossroads or nails us to a cross before we pay proper attention."

seeds sprout from darkness
emerge from remembering
seeds of perpetuity

*Quoted from Michael Meade

The soul remembers its Divine source...though we may have forgotten -- even when things seem right in the world, there is yet a perpetual longing, a tacit memory of who made us, and where our true home. We were allowed to journey from God, His knowing that abiding love would circle us back.
