What is your Treasure?

-originally written in my journal Dec 30, 2008 0824PM-

...been thinking to write something about Treasure, don't know why - perhaps as I myself think that I'm still on the search for my treasure.

Jesus said, wherever your treasure is, there also your heart will be.

This is irritating for me.
Since I don't know what my Treasure is.
If there should exist a Treasure for me,
then it should be fit that my Treasure would want to be find, shouldn't it?

Then how would you identify your treasure?
How would you find out that - out there - there's a Treasure waiting for you to be find?
would you run a Manuscripts research for it, as scholars do?
would you look up with your telescope to the open Universe, as astronomers do?
or would you plunge yourself into the Sea, dive deeper and longer...as divers do?
would you bet on everything you own now, for that little something more, just like gamblers do?
There are far too many options, too many roads.

I believe Treasure Hunters find their ways
or - if destiny permits - they forge their own ways.
I myself like to imagine myself as Santiago;
for so many das I think I know what I want,
but now I'm beginning to think that somehow
I should put myself to Sleep.

Then hopefully
Destiny will appear to as the Dream;
the One Dream that would encourage my heart to no longer fold its wings.
And when my hear flies o seek for my Treasure.....
perhaps, too -
I will wake up.
Wake up and realize,

that my Heart is my Treasure
and It has been with me always.
