Following My Heart

By Elena Ratinov

After running away from myself and eventually getting lost, I woke up one day determined to find Me again. Resolute to figure it out, I started looking for answers in books; attending lectures, seminars, and retreats. I studied ancient and new age teachings. I traveled, met new people, practiced various techniques, and meditated. I discovered that doing art and creative work brings me closer to appreciating and understanding the world around me and my unique value and place in it. In Vedic culture, for example, art is life and grasping that concept was life-changing. The more I explored and developed my creative side, the more understandings I gained. I wrote my first poem last year contemplating on who I am. A few more followed shortly after, each getting me a tiny bit closer to myself. Each verse further opened my heart towards realizing my gifts and talents, while accepting my imperfections and mistakes I've made in the past or will make in the future.
