“Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought.”

– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

You are invited to embark today on a voyage of discovery!  No ticket is needed, and no destination will be announced.  This voyage will not take you to new geographical locations.  You will very likely find yourself walking the same predictable path you walk through most days of your life.  The voyage of discovery is a trip along the path with a heart; and your traveling companion will be your soul.

Most of us pay little attention to our souls as we move through the work and play and thought that defines our existence.  We seem to forget that from the very time we first arrived in the world, our souls have been with us, calling us to become fully ourselves — to be everything we were created to be.  The path with a heart leads us to share love, peace, hope and light with the others we encounter as we live our lives.  The path with a soul leads us on a voyage of discovery that takes us inward and shows us how to be true to our life’s purpose.

The only way to make this voyage of discovery is to open your eyes — not only those that see the physical reality, but also those which define what we see as beauty.  When we see with the eyes of the soul, our entire being responds to the discoveries we make.  With each new discovery, whether it is one of the beauty that surrounds us or one of compassion and love or one of a passionate need to respond with change, we find that we know ourselves just a little bit better.

You are invited to embark today on a voyage of discovery.  You will need no ticket, and there is no destination defined.  Welcome your soul as you travel today.  Ask her to show you the things you have been looking at but not seeing.  Discover with each step all the beauty and passion and love and compassion that dwells in your very soul — and walk with new energy as your footsteps grow lighter and lighter.  Know that the discoveries never will end.  Let your heart leap for joy, and know that one day you just may find you can fly.
