I decided to title my blog “Alignment” based off of an influential dream I had a few months ago. I had this dream way before SALT was even on my radar, and I was struggling with the choices I had to make for my future.
In this dream, I was going on a night hike with my family. To the right of our path was a expansive still lake with the Himalayas shooting up in the distance behind it. This lake was only about a foot deep and scattered along the shore were dozens of Indian men wading in the water, facing the mountains. According to the locals, this lake was the lake of wisdom and that was what these men were searching for. I felt this overwhelming call to go into the lake. I veered off the path against my fellow hikers’ warnings and prostrated myself in the shallow water. I was overwhelmed with the power of this lake. I looked up to the mountains and saw the clouds form a giant circle around the full moon. The stars in the sky aligned themselves with the moon, and the majestic voice of wisdom said to me, “everything will align itself in time.”
This phrase, “everything will align itself in time” has been very influential in my life since then. It has gotten me through very difficult transitions and the epic unknown. This phrase brought me to SALT, and almost like divine fulfillment of this dream, has literally brought me to the base of the Himalayas in Nepal. This experience has made me so keenly aware of the presence of the Divine in my life and that, yes, everything does align itself in time! I am feeling so grateful and excited for this next portion of my life in Kathmandu, Nepal!
