5. Day 10: He Walks With Me
My sweetheart has joined me on my morning walk (he runs ahead, then back, and runs ahead again) and now I have both quiet time and company. At first I was worried I would end up talking (talking…..talking….) but thankfully, since it is yet early when we walk and we are both in the slow of the day, I still experience that quiet I need so. EVERY DAY I get to walk with myself (and now my husband) and our Holy Self is here too. The nature of our morning time really speaks to my heart in a healing and whole way. This quote from the wonderful Mary Magdalene Within (a beautiful...
Read More5. Day 9: You Are Love-Able EVERY DAY
It feels like I have barely had time to look directly at my fear of EVERY DAY. I have been walking every day (to be honest I did miss one day due to traveling but let the joy of letting go allow that to be exactly perfect sans guilt of any kind). I feel something important is creeping into my periphery, I can feel it’s presence but can’t quite see it. Me: What would you like to tell me about EVERY DAY and why I fear it or want to argue with it (or ignore it or even flatly refuse it?) HS: Precious One, Thank you for taking time to be with your willingness in this way. Your...
Read More5. Day 8: Go Difficult. Go Deep.
I am so happy to be here this morning for a “normal” quiet time, in the morning dark, tea and willingness at hand. I feel I have been stretched over the past months to include more of me–more time, more ways to feel connected, more ways to practice willingness (in letting go, EVERY DAY and extending love to fear of guilt, depression and commitment). Thank you for this. I have performed my first wedding ceremony, seen my first child graduate from university and celebrated the return from near death of my cousin’s child (now delightfully engaged as well). We broke...
Read More5. Day 7: A Teaspoon Of Eternity
My walk this morning was another day of “just doing it”. The movement, breathing and increased heart rate did seem to bring me back to life a bit after waking feeling tired. Here is something I noticed, I didn’t spend any time deciding whether to walk or not. the decision was made back at the beginning with these two words: EVERY DAY. Every day is seeming less and less onerous. I am glimpsing that EVERY DAY is a teaspoon of eternity. Just enough to give us a taste but not so much to overwhelm. This quote I read recently in the wonderful novel by Jaqueline Winspear...
Read More5. Day 6: Walk Without Thinking
My walk today was lovely. I walked without thought. For a confirmed thinker, this alone is new bliss. I realized I can “just walk” without thinking about walking. I know those reading this are giggling in your coffee (or tea) but there is very little I do without the awareness of thinking about what I am doing. Driving is a good example. I have to think of where all the other cars are in relation to me, I must calculate the odds of me getting distracted and plummeting to my death over the side of the bridge (or cliff edge if we are in the mountains). I have to spend the...
Read More5. Day 5: What’s Love Got To Do With War?
Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the day Britain’s involvement in World War I began. From this distance we are able to comment, commemorate, honor and remember all that each one experienced during that war. I spoke yesterday of feeling somewhat overwhelmed at what felt like “once in a lifetime” experiences. The Great War, WWI, was thought to be a once in a lifetime experience. Yet this was not so. We continue again and again to come to the brink in conflict as we wade through our consciousness into the light. It is our collective fear of EVERY DAY that keeps us...
