Ahh Loving friend…you have reminded me of something in your email yesterday…
( journeying with me in Spirit, holding my Medicine Bag, lighting candles in Mom’s crystal holder in Vancouver, my friend wrote yesterday of…) the ‘balance of giving and receiving that is necessary to keep my energy, mood and motivation at a consistently high level’…this is timely for me to hear…by last evening I wasn’t sure how well my body was feeling.
Today I’m taking the day off and it feels good! I’ll catch up with the youth another day!
This morning I’m thinking about the sensations and perceptions I am having through the experience of being here in this place, in this ‘time and space’ ( this ‘geometric…energetic’ ) and I am wishing to share about them rather than about anything that has particularly happened or anyone I have particularly met.
This reality is a huge shift from the daily life that I have experienced elsewhere. It is deeply moving and profoundly familiar for me to be here. There is a pulse I easily sense that vibrates strongly, powerfully, like a heart beat that pounds beneath everything at the center, a steady measure setting the rhythm and tempo of life, ever throbbing on and on. If I envision my body as the earth, then to be here is to feel as if I am a tiny creature crawling upon my chest, the waves of swelling from the rise and fall of my lungs almost unnoticeable yet incorporated into my balance at every moment, the constant beat of my heart vibrating throughout every thing forming the basis of all I hear…
If I am at the ‘birthplace of humanity’ as many suggest East Africa is then, yes, I can surely feel the roots that extend acutely within and, yes, I do seem to ‘re-cognize’ the intrinsic essence that bids me welcome home…
On all levels so far, life here seems to reflect sincerity, almost simply and very clearly without screen, filter or distortion. To me it all feels unembellished, unadorned, real, stripped down and easy to describe as very raw at times. Everything appears exposed, there is little hiding, sparse camouflage and lack of authenticity…there is almost no pretending, most times all seems starkly, boldly truthful exactly as it is. Even if on the outside of life there may appear trickery / manipulation present or lies being told, etc, there remains a blatant transparency that seems to speak to me directly, constantly. Maybe it’s my glasses…!
Over all, I seem to find being here refreshing, clearing and terrifically life enhancing like the rain that falls powerfully for a short time almost every day…
I am also learning that being here can seem to exhaust my openness, render me feeling somewhat defenseless the times I forget to rest or to ask for help and protection…Thanks for the reminder friend…
I remain deeply grateful for all of the support I DO feel, constantly…
Thanks to ALL for being with me here…I Love you, Cath
