There is a shop on the Kings road that I have been drawn to since living her …
The look of it anyway… I had never been inside; it was always closed when I ran by – morning and night – as I journeyed to and fro to work.
An Aladdin’s cave, a magical mystery tour awaiting me, a treat in store … And then it was shut
Locked
Down
A shiny orb – a crystal ball emanating esoteric energy – sits still in the window… The colours, the vibrancy; crystals clustered… velvet drapes…
Beautiful to me
A world I have always loved…
But today as Anadi and I wandered by, the door was ajar… I peered in.
‘We’re open’, a man called, and so we entered to the experience of delightful be-jewelled joy, the smell of mysticism; books, cards, colourful clothes, silk dresses, striped trews… Hippy bags – I bought one; Joss sticks piled high – ‘Nag Champa and Palo Santo please’ I bought these too… Cards painted – swirling, shape, form, magic…
I spoke to the man who had beckoned us in – admired his ceiling, newly painted purple, yellow, black stripes in between… Anadi chatting to the other.
‘This is a haunt of Eric Clapton, Charlie Watts and Mick Jagger’ he said…
Ahh, kindred spirits – I mused, as we set off once more on our Saturday outing; along the Kings road.
Life unfolding, walking up a road…
Many buildings, with doors to walk through…
Which ones we choose determine the experiences, the lessons, the people we meet.
Other spirits who too have walked through that door; opened the way to new vistas and visions
Experiences to be had.
Many doors, many choices
No wrong way or right
All unfolding exactly as it is
In each moment
“Life is a mystery to be lived not a puzzle to be solved’
