Destiny

One Love, One Aim, One Destiny
Peace
I saw this window in the early fall at the Namaste Cafe in New Brunswick, NJ. It is an important place to me. The cafe is the in the renovated second story of the George Street Co-op, a small market of health food. I used to go with my mother all the time when I was little. 
Seeing the new second story reminded me that things consistently change and grow. A place I remembered from my childhood did not wait for me to come back. It is thriving without me and has become a new place with a new aura.

The window in particular sparked me and touches on something that has concerned me of recent. The window says mentions aim and destiny. I often think about the path I've taken and whether I've taken this path because I have been pushed toward it. I worry that supporters of my art, wanting to help me, pushed me in that direction, when I could have easily become passionate about another field. Given that I am so frightened about making a life with my art (as I have decided to do), it is easy for me to doubt if I'm in the right place.
I am afraid that although my dedication is there, my focus is not. I pray for aim so that I may never lose sight of what I want. 

Namaste. The light in me sees the light in you.
