I’ve made a mess of my life amidst elongated mental and emotional challenges.

Within a moment’s breath, I saw just how deranged I’ve allowed things and actively participated in causing them to become.

I’ve felt nothing short of irredeemable as every path to enlightenment became barricaded.

Though, in this moment of coming face-to-face with the consequences of my actions, I remembered God (played by Morgan Freeman) in Bruce Almighty:

No matter how filthy something gets, you can always clean it right up.

Overwhelmed, I did what came easiest to me…I wrote.

If I had one wish to make everything be fine, what would that look like to me?

My answer was clear, thus the next right move to make it happen as well.

With my heart’s true desires shining through the chaos, the answer to what do I do? and where do I begin? came to me.

I find that it’s only when we decide to begin cleaning do we realize just how messy we’ve allowed things to become.

However, amidst the mess, we often find our heart’s true desires, thus direction for enlightenment entirely.
