The Road to Chaco—A Journey to Myself (Part 4 of 4)
The Road to Chaco—A Journey to Myself (Part 4 of 4) By Christina Solstad
Perhaps my biggest realization came as I was nearing Chaco. I was in a particularly beautiful area, driving through a pass in the mountains filled with green trees, red cliffs, numerous hawks, and blue sky above.
I was, at that moment, precisely where I was meant to be. I knew it. The Universe knew it. There was nothing else in the world I was supposed to be doing, or wanted to be doing, besides driving on this road.
Sounds simple, but it was monumental for me. I had lived most of my life based on “shoulds” and other people’s expectations, rather than my own desires. I now felt completely at peace.
I took a deep breath and smiled as I turned down the dirt road to Chaco. It seemed an eternity since I left home yesterday morning.
The Universe had already provided, and I had accepted, several valuable lessons.
I entered Chaco a changed woman, for I had paid attention not only to the destination, but to the journey. What lay ahead could only be magic.
(Photo is Pueblo Bonito with fresh snow on Winter Solstice morning of this December trip several years ago. This was some of the magic that awaited me. I had specifically asked to see Chaco with fresh snow on the ruins!)
