"From Stillness to the Road: My Journey Begins"

The journey has begun.
On July 23rd, at exactly 13:00, I stepped out of the familiar — leaving everybody behind — and into something unknown, yet deeply aligned. I booked a simple hotel room to ease into the shift. A soft landing before liftoff. No rigid plan. Just the whisper of something greater guiding me forward.

From the moment I arrived,
I felt it:
Freedom.
Space.
Silence.
Time slowed. Worries dissolved like mist. But this wasn’t just a break — it was the beginning of becoming.
New Moon Ritual in the Hotel Room
The next night,
July 24th, the energy peaked. It was New Moon — the perfect time to set intentions. I stood outside among the trees and later inside my hotel room and spoke the invocation:
“I am here. I am ready. I am walking the path that was written before time.”
I called in everything: divine support, financial flow, alignment, and sacred companionship. There was a small interruption — someone walking by during my first attempt — but it didn’t break the moment. If anything, it reminded me that this path is walked in the real world. The work is staying connected in the midst of it all.
Signs from the Road (Before Even Leaving)
The synchronicities didn’t wait.
3.888 in my bank account: a bold 888 — divine abundance, infinite flow.
09:09 on the clock: a spiritual nudge. Awakening. Expansion.
And just after finishing the invocation the second time:20:20 … shifting to 20:21.
Perfect vision into movement.
The bridge between knowing and doing.
Adapting to Freedom
The last two days have been about stabilizing.
Freedom is beautiful — and a little overwhelming at first.
The system we live in keeps us tightly bound. When you suddenly step out of that and no longer need to respond to alarms, routines, or deadlines, it’s like the ground moves underneath you.
I felt it deeply that first day. But I breathed through it.
And now, I feel ready.
Next Stop: Wakefield, UK
Tomorrow I fly to the UK. I’ve booked a peaceful BnB near Wakefield City — it looked like the perfect place to reset, observe, and let the next chapter unfold.
I’ve prepped well:
Plenty of food for the road
Powerbanks fully charged
A lifetime’s worth of cosmetics (don’t ask)
A solid pair of Nike Air Force one (still holding up well)
New slippers, because why not
Camera gear ready to shoot
I’m still on the hunt for proper walking shoes, but honestly… I feel equipped. Spiritually and physically.
This is more than a trip. It’s a return to life, one step at a time.
I’ll be sharing more from the road — in words, in video, in presence. For now, I rest, pack, and prepare for liftoff.
Much love from the edge of the old world,
Patrick
