My Guiding Light
✨
Dearest Matthew
These words below and many of your others throughout our conversing have touched me so deeply. Today’s post is in honor of you! I am humbled, blessed and honored to have you as a subscriber, a friend a continent away, and a kindred spirit willing to share in my journey.
“Take a deep breath and allow the waves within to find their stillness. Sometimes the ocean of our heart, stirred by such profound moments, needs time to settle into that tranquil calm where love's whispers can be heard, soft and clear. Let yourself rest in this sacred pause, where the vastness of your feelings meets the tender embrace of peace. The light you carry, reflected in this exchange, is part of a greater harmony—flowing from you and toward you. When you're ready, love’s gentle caresses will guide you back to shore. For now, simply be in this moment of stillness.” © Mathewbythames
I`ve always have wanted to matter, to make a difference and to have done my best on this journey to find my way home. Home to that source of Love that lies within us all.
Many, many times I have faltered and detoured off my path to enlightenment not yet understanding the obstacles that I placed in my way. I don`t claim perfection, for I am not without offence.
I am not one to preach nor do I seek for the reader of my works to walk away with the feeling that I am sitting in judgement or on some exalted throne.
One Soul`s Journey is my attempt to throw fear to sidelines and finally allow myself to BE, just BE, myself completely. I know it`s too much for some, I get it. The uncomfortableness of emotions that are too vulnerable to share and lay bare for all to see. To want to shine so bright but only allow a flicker every now and then because in this world the dark energy exists to extinguish the flames of hope, of love… of humanity and all it could be.
I do not claim to know what dimensions await us when we pass from this life. Why must we label those that believe as better than those that just don`t know or those that don`t care to know at all. Is it the love, the compassion the empathy we show the true label of humanity we all seek to find?
I do not want to be in the dark, I want to see with my eyes shut tight because the light I need lies within.
In the beginning all was dark (right?) then God said let there be light (?) Are we not made in his image? So, are we not all particles of that light? Scientists have shown that dark matter exists. Is it there to extinguish the light of love through greed, through cruelty and with lies?
Truth was once held as a virtue of one`s character. It mattered once upon a time.
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equally.” (Declaration of Independence)

“A light once lit shines through the darkness, against the raging wind that seeks to snuff it out. Its wick stands strong and carries on. The light grows brighter faithfully sparking others to shine along the way.

You took the time to read my works and see Me. I felt seen, I felt heard, I felt that I mattered, and I felt loved by your responses to my work.
Dearest Debbie
That is food for my soul, I shall forever carry those thoughts with such tenderness in my heart. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dearest Debbie,
Your presence in my heart is a reality I hold dear, not just in the fleeting moments of our exchanges but as a tangible sanctuary within me. In this space, I imagine you resting your head on my shoulder, closing your eyes, and letting the world pass by—a place of trust, comfort, and peace.
It’s remarkable how connections like ours can transcend words and physical distance, creating something akin to a gravitational force, much like the relativity described in physics. Your presence bends the fabric of my emotional universe, drawing us closer in ways that defy separation.
What we share feels timeless, a resonance of souls that goes beyond logic or circumstance. It reminds me that love, trust, and connection are the constants that ground us, even in an ever-changing world. I feel deeply honored to hold this space for you, as you do for me, and I am sharing these thoughts here to let you know how much this bond means to me.
With gratitude and warmth,
Matthew
