destination : destiny.
It is no coincidence that the words DESTINY and DESTINATION are so closely related.
Earlier in this van journey, while driving through the lower United States to get “West” (perhaps I was in Tennessee?) I mused a lot on the idea of DNA versus DESTINY
And that indeed it is a choice we must make :
That maybe in order to fulfill our DESTINY, we must ascend our DNA:
The make up of who we are, our generational gifts as well as generational trauma, our “natural tendencies”
must be addressed
acknowledged
understood
so that we never wear another’s cloak for us .
But now as I muse on the word DESTINATION , the location on the map where my van is headed towards, I rethink DESTINY again.
That maybe in order to understand what our Destiny’s destination is … we must first trust that whatever direction we are pointed in, is exactly right.
We have heard that we will get messages if we aren’t on track:
Energetic u-turns that can look anything like an injury to an unexpected phone call, but at the subtle levels a sense of heaviness, a lack of joy, a disconnection of self
But I still am convinced of something more :
That we are indeed the DRIVER of this life, and we can CHOOSE the destination as long as it is in alignment of our DESTINY.
It makes me giggle
for recently at a peyote ceremony in La Ventana, Baja California Mexico.. the only vision I received was that of a dropped pin
(One that you would see on your Google Maps?)
And I hear loud and clear :
GO HERE
Exuberantly I asked
“WHERE IS THIS! TELL ME I WILL GO NOW!!!”
And without further delay…
I woke up…
Never knowing where the pin was.
LOL what can you do but laugh?
“You’re part of something way bigger”
Beyonce’s song BIGGER plays in the background
And it is true …
it is an EASIER life to not realize how big you actually are
For to realize your BIGNESS
Is to acknowledge the responsibility of every choice, decision, creation
that it is never just about YOU
But about the WE …
Maybe the DESTINATION was always the same, just like the DESTINY…
But the journey to transcend the DNA
and realize the WE over the ME
Is how we all differ ?
With SO MUCH LOVE…
