Hello , beautiful Souls. My message today is about acceptable social norms and finding self.
It is so interesting how we perceive, understand and behaviour with regards to social norms! I wrote this narrative when reflecting on my life of a healthier lifestyle and share it with you today. May you too be inspired to live laugh and love without the need to be reliant on crutches that are unhealthy. I share this journey as I come to reflect the year I lived here embracing the wonderful space in which I now call home! I am truly blessed!
Serenity Island - Avra Poelmann
Beyond the shores of Serenity Isle, the world buzzed with the noise of conformity and expectation, but within the sanctuary of Harmony Haven, a quiet revolution blossomed—a celebration of liberation through music and dance. As the moon cast its silvery glow upon the tranquil waters, she looked out at her beloved haven with a sense of pride. In Harmony Haven, she had created more than just a refuge; she had forged a sanctuary for the soul—a place where the spirit soared free, and the beauty of individuality was celebrated in every note and every movement.
As the last notes of music faded into the night and the dancers' laughter echoed into the starry sky, she stood at the edge of Harmony Haven, feeling the gentle embrace of the island breeze. The humidity was high and her body glistened with sweat . Something she was now so accustomed to without embarrassment. With a contented smile, she looked upon her creation, knowing that it was more than just a sanctuary—it was a testament to the power of liberation and the beauty of living life on one's own terms.
"Finally done," she whispered to herself, her heart overflowing with gratitude. No longer dependent on the crutch of addiction or materialism. As she sat and listened to the music that fed her Soul. The patrons of Harmony Haven had found solace in the rhythms of music too and the peace of mind that came with authentic self-expression. Here, amidst the harmonies of melody and the poetry of dance, they had discovered a new way of living—a life ignited by passion and guided by the serenity of their souls. No longer needing drinks or cigarettes, no longer needing unhealthy behaviour. No longer bothered when they said "You don't drink?! Like she had a disease of social standing! No more judgement and no longer being answerable simply just being!
As the evening painted the sky in shades of pink , orange red and gold, she closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin. In this moment of quiet reflection, she knew that Harmony Haven would continue to stand as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all who sought refuge from the pressures of conformity. She was happy, content and relaxed, she did not need others to make her happy, She wanted to share her happiness with those she met and those who made the connection with her only. tonight she came home and fetch her self totally blessed! Life is a beach!
As she opened her eyes to greet the day a beautiful farewell with a reminder of not just another sunset. A beautiful portrait of God's paintbrush free for the taking, she did so with a renewed sense of purpose and a heart full of love for the island that had given her so much.
A place to finally call home and a place of significant learning and understanding. A place where she found who she was and no matter if others looked at her possibly a little envious of her freedom and limitless spirit and smile. For she realised it was not just the place that facilitated this feeling it was her own transformation to live in the present and allow fear to leave. She would continue to pour out love, kindness and reach out to connect simply wanting to make a difference in each person's heart that touched her. It simply is who she is...Namaste
