CHAPTER 8

Remembering Your Own Life Mission

AS WE WALKED THROUGH the night, we never moved away from Anni. The peace I usually felt walking in Caravan with thoughts moving out and away did not return. My thoughts stayed with Verity and Anni. Anni apparently knew me, and I didn’t remember her. I wanted to see her better. I wanted to talk to her. I wanted to ask and I waited. In Caravan, when it was time, it happened.

As Verity walked with us, she reached often for Anni’s camel. She wasn’t leading her camel as much as connecting the three of us energetically, I thought. I already felt the connection and knew enough of the weaving of Caravan to know that was true. We moved with the flow of pilgrims, maintaining a place at the edge of pilgrims on foot and those on camels. Anni’s camel was a dromedary (one humped camel) with an Egyptian saddle. Egyptian saddles are the ones with the higher saddle horns. Under the saddle was a kilim rug, the earth color of the robes the guides wear, with beadwork all along the border. She wore a long black robe often seen in the desert.

I remembered when Verity first called me to Caravan. Though I now remembered Caravan when I returned to the horizontal world, I was still waiting to remember my time before in Caravan. Remembering the previous time in Caravan was now tied to Anni, and I sensed Verity’s assignment for me, and it felt suddenly like an assignment I might not be up to. Verity had said that even with all of the help provided in Caravan, sometimes we don’t remember. I wondered if I was one of those cases.

How many times had I been to Caravan? How many times would I forget my agreement with the One that sent me? Verity said it was almost time. That seemed to mean that my forgetting was part of the plan. Perhaps forgetting, then remembering, was the usual plan for the horizontal world.

Verity turned to me. “You want to know what this means,” she said. “You want to know what bringing you to Anni means, and what it meant when I told her it was almost time. While what something means often is everything, it does not always serve to know immediately. As we walk, allow these questions to sit in your heart for now. Allow the question of meaning itself to move with you.”

I thought her questions where very much like a tuning Kairos would do. I thought everything in Caravan was a form of tuning. It was tuning for the work in the horizontal world, and a tuning of the heart to prepare us for what came next. It was eternal preparation for the work of our life mission, which in turn prepared us to return to the One that sent us.

I allowed the question of Anni to move back into my heart. I allowed it to be okay for the moment that I didn’t know.
