The First Brave Journey

A beginning, yet not the start. This is a step, yet not the first. An adventure into the unknown. A passage forward from which heralds the dawn of a new chapter.

Today marks the advent of numerous pathways and decisions spiralling forth from my ever-present now. Here, today, I have decided to share my meanderings and fortunes. Such decisions I have wrought over the last year and now, on the birth of the first full week in September, as the vibrant light of summer wanes to a gentler, more golden-amber hue, I have taken my first step.

So, who am I? What is it that presses me to write? What decisions have been wrought? Why I am musing in such flowery language?

I am, in this present moment, in this guise, a man of many roles... as are we all (of many roles that is). A brother, a son, a lover, a musician, a soon-to-be-Reiki master, a writer, a singer, a guitarist, a fool. I have been up and down. Sky high and rock bottom. I have travelled the Seven Seas... (well, more like three of them but who's counting), and lead a merry dance through the corridors of beingness.

In the last week, a culmination of endings led to these new adventures I embark upon and with it a need to document, share and inspire. Endings of intangible proportions. Endings that only make sense in the mind for nothing truly has ended in a solid sense. Endings of old habits. Endings of old endings. Endings that mark the phoenix of my passion, creativity and light bursting forth from the embers of my smouldering soul. A soul that has wished for me to wake. A soul that has dreamt and prodded me. Carried me, held me and softened my pillow.

This month marks new energy for a new season. My beginnings are numerous. There is a debut album to be arranged and recorded. A blog to continue and adventure in. New websites to construct. A course in discovering inner-creativity to begin and complete. Songs to write and sing. Writings and inspirations to allow forth. Numerous adventures in time and space to ride upon. A Reiki mastership to complete.

I wonder how many people at this time feel have felt the excitement of newness in the air? There is a gathering of energy here. A feeling so subtle it begs to be noticed yet drifts so silently on the breeze. But hear it we can and hear it we do. It is this natural mystic that I want to capture. I want to write it, sing it, photograph it. I want to share it, talk about it and hear it from others. I want to listen to it and feel it in my bones. Feel it in my heart and soul.

Like so many of us, I am striving to make my life joyous and full of fun, laughter, success, friendship, love and adventure. Here then, I offer a journey. From a point of change in my own life. Part history, part documentary, part philosophy, part poetry, part diary, part spirit. A journey together. A journey shared. A journey offered with as much love as I can fit into it.

Love, love,

Matt xxx
