signs and markers
1.03.2004
Though I am not, as my friends know, a religious person, and though I am wont to scoff at mysticism, I still regard myself as a spiritual person. There have been times when I have felt that circumstances about me were such as to guide me away from a path I had chosen and onto a new one. It always seemed ridiculously conceited, however, to say that I felt the hand of God in my life, especially when around me I could see people who did not seem to be receiving spiritual guidance that they needed. But of late I have been taking stock of my life, and looking back, I can see that at potential crises of my life, points at which the whole of life could be shaped, circumstances outside my control were shaped as to be forceful, almost pointed, markers for the direction my life should take. I can only say that I am grateful beyond words for this unseen hand in my life, and will take care not to squander this life which has been so sedulously guarded.
If this seems a strange, enigmatic post, I can only say that my life has been going through a powerful process of change lately, and I want to make some record of it. And to remind you, my friends, not to ignore the signs and markers in your lives.
