Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 ~ Delphi, Greece
(this is the continuation of a travel journal that begins with the April 18th entry further below)
It will come…
That is what the young man I met today in a store, a kindred spirit, told me they say in Greek when they do the traditional ancient handshake. “It will come…”
And it always will. Even when it seems least likely, whatever you are waiting for, even if you feel you have been waiting forever for it, will come.
Being here in Delphi is like being in a constant energy bath…like the whole location is a temple itself. It is supremely intense…and changes you from the inside out. At first it felt too quiet though. It felt like the Oracles, Nymphs and Sibyls were gone from physical form. I knew they (we) were only waiting to return in full force, but I looked around at the stronghold of a different faith and a modern world and felt myself almost like a relic. But I waited…what else is there to do? Wait and hold faith…
And then everything shifted and opened…and now we have made friends here, in such a short time, and I so much see the hand of the universe having reached right in to connect us deeply here before we go. It is like a miracle. Tomorrow we will ride away from this place, but like Egypt, we won’t really be leaving.
We also made dear friends with the Greek co-presenters at the Egypt conference and we are going to meet them at our Athens hotel tomorrow and go to the Poseidon Temple at Cape Sounio, on May Day and the last day of our adventure. It’s like a dream, again.
And home…home sounds very, very good. New life is waiting, and I can’t wait to live it.
It will come.
Love, Jennifer
