Little Messages ~ It happened like this...

I was feeling particularly pensive this morning,

nay, panicky is more apt!

It was yoga day and I didn't want to go,

to make the effort,

like I needed to rest from this attack of panic!

I felt I'd left all that behind,
all the panic thoughts,
I'd done the work,
the self help, personal development....
I'd made strides over the years,
and besides
being older now, I assigned these
feelings as part of the path from youth to middle years.

It was a difficult decision, but I

got ready anyway, resisting my thoughts,

but they continued to follow
and
bombard me all the way to the studio.

Feelings of not being able to trust my

own judgment on many levels.
Yes, the familiar fear
feelings had risen
again.

Once on my mat the thoughts started to subside

and melt with each soothing chime sound,

deepening as a soft voice from the front uttered

"relax and simply breathe".

It was after the stretching postures
whilst relaxing in tadasana,
that I truly came home to myself

I was already silently repeating the word
TRUST
with every in breath,

letting go with every out breath.

I then heard the soft voice from the front,

echoing my inward chant audibly ~>

"TRUST,

there's nothing to fear,

nothing to forgive,

nothing to achieve,

I am what I am".

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese

Don't Blink

What rate ticketh clock? I blinked and a whole year passed or, was I dreaming? Somehow I seemed to have lost a whole year, it appears what I thought happened last year happened the year before! My sister who is twelve years my senior warned me about this ~ "wait until you get to my age then time really does fly"! Of course we'll never be able to confer! Still, living in the moment can feel like forever, because it is, I'm trying to make each beautiful moment count! Sharing with Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
