Nudges

I can easily find myself getting lost in the the constant ebb and flow of life that I find my focus becomes a bit…..

Blurry.
Scattered.
Random.
Askew.

Limited, not by life….but only by me.

At times it takes nothing more then the sweet, gentle caress of a passing breeze to nudge my inner spirit and re-awaken me to the path that is before me. Sometimes it takes a huge emotional catastrophe…..

Sometimes it just takes a broken car mirror.

I came outside my house last night on my way to the movies with friends…..and there it was smashed into a hundred and one fragments.

Jagged pieces of plastic strewn upon the street around my drivers side door. Random points in the darkness, illuminated by scattered reflections in the shards of mirror that lay motionless on the black asphalt.

All that remained attached to my drivers side door was a piece of dark black plastic that jutted about at a strange angle pointing slightly askew towards the road ahead of me.

Pointing me towards the road ahead of me.

I have gotten complacent in this journey recently…
Forgotten the path I stepped onto not so long ago…

Got lost in the minor details of wonder, simplicity and awe that is vibrantly painted upon this canvas of life with the colorful stokes of joy, happiness and well-being that oozes from the core of my being.

I had mistaken that in some way, shape and form that there was nothing more to be revealed.

Nothing more to pursue.
Nothing more to become.

I actually came to a place in which I felt satisfied..for a moment anyway.

And then the mirror……

Life speaks to me in ways that it knows I can comprehend. For some a broken mirror may be all they see, but for me I hear the voice from within that nudges me ever so lightly to tell me to keep moving forward…

There is more to be revealed…

More to learn…
More to see…
More to feel…
More to experience…

More to become…

  3. Hi Morgan,

    Sorry you had to be nudged by a broken mirror. You’re taking it well, much better than I would have, lol.

    It could have turned out differently, but you embraced it and moved forward. That’s great! Wish we all could do that.

    Rolando

    Hey Rolando….
    I bet you would have freaked if it was the mirror on your Avalanche truck….lol :) Miss you buddy and looking forward to catching up with you again in the new year.
    Have a Happy New Year

  5. Hi MM,

    Mell here who is usually on Go smell the flowers blog.

    I looooove this post, thank you. It is so very poignant especially at this time of year. It has made me think about what next year holds. I always love the analogy of if you focus on the rear view mirror too much, you can lose sight of where you are going.

    Perhaps this was a small message to say look at the road ahead instead of looking behind you to what has been! It always works for me! It is like a bad hole of golf. There is always a new hole to try again!

    Have a great new Year MM. Love your writing - you are incredibly talented.

    Hey Mel…
    Thanks for stopping by my site…I appreciate all of your support and encouragement that you have freely passed along to me on the Go! site.
    As of the moment my sites are set on the future and the possibilities that exist without the concerns of the past….
    Thanks for everything….and have a Happy New Year!!!!

  6. Thank you, Morgan for your wonderful posts this past year (actually the last part of the past year). Have a happy New Years Eve and a Happy New Year!

    Susie…..
    Thank you for your encouragement as well as your own beautifully written posts that I identify with on so many levels…looking forward to reading more of you through this New Year!
    Have a Happy New Year

  7. I hate mirrors because I’m going bald…LOL!!!
    Hi Morgan :-)
    I see you are at the intersection of life. So many roads to travel in a finite period of time. As usual, you have such a beatiful and poetic way of putting you thoughts into words.
    I love the message that you have portrayed here. It is so easy to become complacent, and for me the dreaded “tomorrow” comes to mind quite a bit. Potential has a way of creeping into the rear view mirror. Just as some create “New Years Resolutions”, it’s important to create life resolutions.
    May you have a blessed an wonderful 2008 Morgan…. somehow, I know you will!!!

    Also, thanks for being such an awesome blogging friend in 2007. I always enjoy my trips to Morgan’s Blog.
    Take care of you - Speedy

    Speedy….
    What can I say….you are one of many that I have met through this online journey in the past few months that has made this process so enjoyable…..Glad I had the honor of meeting you and PLEASE keep the humor coming in the New Year….
    Be blessed and have a great New Year!
