My Ithaka

I use to think my life’s purpose was all about getting to Ithaka, until I discovered the journey itself is Ithaka.

My journey so far has been full of adventures and discovery of both wonderful and contrasting things.

Initially, I was afraid because I didn’t understand how and why certain things were happening.

As I asked for and became open to the answers, I began to see differently.

There is only wellbeing or me cutting myself off from the wellbeing.

There is only my connection to Source, or me cutting off that connection to Source.

After that revelation, my voyage became quite blissful and at some point I began traveling through Ithaka without being aware of it.

I am living, moving and having my being in Ithaka.

How else can I explain the lovely days of my life?

The expanded thoughts I think?

The pleasure I derive when I think of loved ones?

When I stop at their shores and I choose what I want to buy?

I don’t have to live in those shores to love and appreciate the best things about them. Instead, I take what I want and leave the rest.

Taking in the best of everyone and everything is what Ithaka is to me.

If I should ever forget my way, get lost, or thrown out, it’s all right as I know how to find my way back to Ithaka.
