Indelible

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 7:42 am

One of the many synonyms for the word “Indelible” is “Unforgettable.”

There are things that leave such a permanent mark on you that you’ll never forget them. They’re indelible.

The first time I encountered the word was as a child when I heard about indelible ink. It couldn’t be removed no matter what. Then the next usage for the word came from the nuns who taught me. “Sins will make an indelible mark on your soul.” Leave it to the good sisters to come up with a negative definition for the word.

Indelible has a different meaning for me now.

There was an indelible mark placed on our soul, but it wasn’t sinful. It was a homing device.

The sin is forgetting that we have an unforgettable part of us.

There is a part of us that we can’t forget about; it’s always beaming a signal to bring us home.

It’s running in the background 24/7 and it never breaks down. It’s like a lighthouse beam that perpetually shines, even on the foggiest of nights.

We were born as a complete package. We came with everything we needed no matter how flawed our conditioning taught us we were.

In spite of all the limitations we learned that crowded out our completeness, there is always an indelible mark that can’t be removed no matter what. That indelible mark leads us back to the treasure we left behind.

Everyone is trying to complete the loop to get back home to completeness. We know completeness is there because it’s indelibly etched in our soul.

We start out searching for completeness outside of ourselves because that’s what we’ve been taught. It’s an outward journey with thrills and chills like an amusement ride with loops, bends and sharp turns, but it always takes you to the same place – back to square one.

We spend most of our lives in the amusement park pretending we are home.

But we know we’re not home because of the empty feeling we have. It’s hard sating your appetite with cotton candy.

The trip back home begins with the recognition that completeness is not out there. Once we make that discovery, we can turn the corner and head for home.

Home is where we are complete, a place we’ve forgotten about, but it has never forgotten us. It keeps sending us signals lighting the way.

If you keep coming up empty on your outward trip, chances are it’s time to turn around and head in the opposite direction and complete the trip back to completeness.

When you discover the indelible part of you that’s always enough, you are complete. You can then lay your head down anywhere and always feel at home.

 

All the best,

John
