I love this! Such a descriptive piece on this confusing trip we take ourselves on. I love this bit: 'It's a bit like wandering through a hedge maze blindfolded, your hands clumsily grasping at the greenery while people who've seemingly made it through to the other side shout at you that there is no maze.'
So true that exhaustion is often the precursor to surrender, which seems to be the key. How could we possibly see ourselves when busy searching for ourselves?!
"I'm having more moments of awareness when reaching for my phone, my book, or my tv remote, that what I'm looking for isn’t out there, but in here."
The real paradox comes when Guidance becomes more apparent. "I" - infinite being and yet here individually, have nothing to gain, nowhere to gain, and yet the story continues.

Beautifully expressed Nic!
