\u201cThere\nis a quiet light that shines in every heart. It draws no attention to itself\nthough it is always secretly there. It is what illuminates our minds to see\nbeauty, our desire to seek possibility and our hearts to love life.\u201d \u2013 John\nO\u2019Donohue <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally,\npenetrating the dense fog that clouds your mind, creating the illusion that you\nare alone, serendipity beckons. Enlivening your senses, your head tilts upwards\ntowards the skies and eyes are opened and drawn towards the horizon in search\nof answers, focusing on everything and nothing, your third eye is bathed in\nlight and you can feel the tremble of awareness build from within you.\nEnergised, filled with hOpe and enthusiasm, you can feel heat within your heart\nand real-confidence start to flow through your veins, as the light within you\nstarts to break free from its encasement and gently radiate from you. Still it\ncontinues, those serendipitous prompts and weird, brief meetings, as gifts are\noffered to you in the form of insights, connections and support. Jolted from\nyour slumber and now fully awake, its presence in your life is a reminder that the\nworld does not operate in a linear manner; that practicality is not the only\noption; that you are never truly alone; that there is always an answer to the\nquestions you pose; and that everyone and everything in your life has meaning\nand is there to support and assist you. Will you listen to the call or close\nyour senses to this awakening? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
