The Last Place

"I found exactly what I have been searching for in the last place I thought to look".

As we flutter through our days falling aimless like a maple seed, alive in the breeze. We tediously attempt to plot our ideal landing spot. However, we do not know what it looks like, and we cannot control which direction the wind might choose to blow us. If we do not know what it is we are seeking, how can we ever expect to find it?

I have often heard the phrase; "I found it in the last place I thought to look". A bit of an oxymoron wouldn't you say? Certainly if we had already found it we would have stopped searching long ago. Therefore, we should always find what we are seeking in the last place we look. Otherwise, we will always remain that falling seed, forever spinning our flaps into an abyss. We will live a life with no purpose.

We travel the world trying to find ourselves. We frantically tear apart the sofa cushions trying to find our keys. And we look to others for answers that only exist within ourselves.

But every once in a while, we find exactly what we are looking for, and it is right under our nose.
