A moment's pause

I haven't been writing here as much, at least I haven't done a post that's been about healing for a while.

I haven't felt as in that zone. To write in that way I have to really be in a certain heart space.

Same for making the enchanted wood posts, where something in nature seems to have a message to tell me through the images I find to share.

I miss those posts. But I also know that you can't force what's not there. It's better to go with what is speaking to you at the time and post on that.

Today I have my writing feeling, and so I'm seeing what I need to reflect on....

As far as where I'm at in my personal healing, this spell, isn't through to a point where I can summarise, or talk about it. I'm still feeling my way.

My words for the year, that I kept in my heart, were allowing and unfolding.

Allowing what is to be, it's about practising non resistance to what is (a Zen Buddhism principle and one that is reflected in nature through water- which always takes the path of least resistance round stones for example in a river) and unfolding being about a heart centred allowing of what needs to unfold,to do so,as much without fear as possible,in the moment to moment.

And so I find myself hopeful for spring the way a crocus is hopeful for warming sunlight! That there may be better times to come for me. Times outdoors in the greenery and the fresh air, once its warmer than it is at present.

I am still weary, after a bad winter and a few tougher years of illness. But after so many years i am wise to the necessary cycle of these things. My trust in the process, is still intact. And that is no small thing. I see as i write that i am grateful to myself for the trust I have. I also see the benefit of stopping and praising myself for these little unnoticed strengths that really aren't so little

Somehow despite the buffering and battering the desire to live a simple heartful life with a bit more energy than at present, is still there & my hearts compass, though it may not know exactly the length of time it'll take, is pointing me in the right direction for each step.

That is all I can ask.

Wishes & love, kat

Oh and I have the Blogsy App on my iPad, now they are set up for typepad. For many reasons, the ipad is much easier for me to use, and i find alot of my inspiring images and websites through it these days. What caused problems was then having to transfer, or be strong enough to get on the computer in order to post them here at Secrets. I really wanted a way to use the iPad to post directly and make things easier to share, x

Allowing & unfolding are words that comforted me. I will try to keep them close and reflect on them also. xxx

So beautifully written my friend, your words always speak
Right to my heart. You are truly wise beyond your time, I guess it comes from having bad times, as well as good. I don't think true wisdom can come from only light or dark, only from both.
You have managed to fill yourself so full of light, as a buffer for the dark times i think, it's what makes you and your beautiful home here so enchanting xxxx
