Struck

[Alice Cullen]

Struck.

 

Have you ever been so overwhelmed by something good or bad that your entire world stops cold. Every second, molecule, atom just freezes as you catch up with the reality that this moment is really happening.

 

That is how I felt when I first saw Jasper. I knew what to expect..I had seen it in my visions over a million times. I knew what he would look and act like. I knew how the night would unfold. There should have been no surprises and yet, actually seeing him in person completely took me by surprise as if I had been struck by lightening.

 

It is one thing to know what someone looks and acts like. It is entirely a different experience to feel their energy. To truly experience them as a whole right before you. His warm, woody scent filling my nostrils. His low, deep voice as he spoke wrapping around me like a safe blanket. The look in his eyes as in real time he looked back at me..no, not at me..through me. His eyes looked through me.

 

I was home and this was really happening. It took what felt like ages to come to terms that this moment was finally here and it was better than anything I had ever dreamt in a vision.

 

There are still moments even after all of these years that I will find myself spellbound and struck in his presence. I never tire of him and experiencing him. I never take for granted that this man that is the other half of my whole is finally in my life and just how miraculous this all is.

 

Celebrate and be thankful for the few and far between times that the universe has lead you to a moment where you are truly stuck in every way. Learn from the challenging times where you are struck. Find endless joy and satisfaction in the incredible times that you are struck. Simply be thankful your life has moved because you have been struck.
