not wordless, but maybe...

2 minute. read

 

I don't have very much to say this week, other than just to acknowledge that some of us will still be going through it, some of us are on the other side, and some of us are only just waiting to begin.

Oh, and that all of us are somewhere.

Everything that is still in process will remain in process for as long as the process takes. We know this. This is half the problem. It also happens to be were we find the solutions too, so at least there is that.

As for continuing to live an authentic life, it's still simply a case of living life authentically. Being honest with yourself and then living in alignment with the truth you find. Even in the moments where things feel confusing.

Perhaps, especially then.

Maybe you didn't get have the answer that you wanted, or maybe you got the answer that you didn't want.

Maybe you're still in the space before finding out.

Maybe you are already asking some new questions.

Maybe it's not a time for questions at all.

Maybe it's a time for just sitting and accepting, waiting for the stillness or the repetition to breathe new life into the unfolding of it all. 

Maybe it's a time for using your hands to heal your soul, or going for a long walk with no apparent destination.

Maybe it's a time for just lying under a blanket and holding yourself.

Maybe.

Maybe it's time to step up or step out, or to let go, or to keep firm hold.

 

I trust that you are on a worthwhile path, and travelling in the ways that are best for you.

If not, I hope you get there soon.

"Are you aware of the consequences of not doing something about thi...
not today
  Some days it is better to just sit quietly. Today is one of them.
the bastard truth
4 minute read   It doesn't matter what the threshold is, if it leads to unfamiliar territory, then the chances are it is going to be uncomfortable, because in general, anything that is unknown is unpredictable, and everything that is unpredictable contains a potential threat.   So if you want real growth, authenticity, and transformation in life, you would do well to accept that the path there,...
