Deeper Than The Surface — GK
I woke up this morning to watch the sunrise. Sitting my ass down in the middle of a parking lot to meditate is the last thing that would come to mind when starting the day, but for some reason, I was drawn to the sounds of the morning and decided to watch the sun come up.
It’s surreal. No, I’m not talking about the sunrise, while magnificence as it is, I’m talking about life itself. Why do so many of us go through our days in an mundane fashion? It’s a concept that has driven me to dive deeper into the realms of my own mind and body and expand the range of my limited beliefs. A concept that has led me to a new way of existing in this world- that allows me to cut through fear by challenging all I thought to be true yesterday.
But there is something I must admit, I’m deeply fallible like anyone else, and this process involves bouts of depression, isolation, and a lot of doubt. While I have felt the power of facing some of my greatest fears, I am still very much a student of this thing called life. There are certain aspects of my life that I’m not sure if I will ever understand, and I am finally in a place of acceptance. I don’t think I know more than any of you reading this, but in my quest, I hope to provide words of wisdom and tools for anyone who is in a tough transition or dark place.
