A Quest for the Something Important

All my life I've been on an unknown quest. You see, I've always had a feeling that there was Something Important I was supposed to do with my life, but I've never been completely clear about what that was.

Now and then I've seen glimpses of this Something Important, just out of reach, darting into shadowlands, seeming to leave a vapor of sparkling aether in its wake. Sometimes I gave chase, which was seldom a productive effort.

Over time I realized that the shimmering something I'd felt brush hurriedly by was some energetic aspect of my spirit moving forward on The Path. Already intently engaged with that Important Something, my spirit self has been right where it is supposed to be, in the in-between of mundane mind and mystical timeless consciousness.

She (my spirit self) returns to visit me more frequently now that I've learned to recognize how it feels when she's here. More on that another time, but in those moments it's clear what the Important Something is, and that the quest had to go within myself to reach the knowledge I sought.

And that was a long way of saying, to those of you in search of your soul's purpose or mission: pay attention to the sensory qualities you experience during those magical moments of wonder and deep connection with the universe. Those may just be your spirit returning home to you.
