Let Go of the Created Self to Reveal the True Self
The mountains are so raw and unyielding; and yet so embracing and inviting… This is our fifth visit here and we have more measure of them now… We know how to work in harmony with their energy and presence; to get up early in summer months before the sun has risen over their peaks and…
Finding My Way
This week I feel a little bit nostalgic, and rather reflective. I have been talking about my blog to a few writer friends, and that prompted me to look over some of my older blog posts, and spruce them up a little bit. It is interesting to see how my blog has evolved, and how…
Going Round in Circles…?
Something that I often hear from clients – and that I’ve felt myself, at times, in my journey with Dax – is a sense of frustration around facing an issue that they thought had been dealt with in the past. It can be rather disheartening to feel that we’re ‘going nowhere’ or that the actions…
The Feminine Sprouts from Darkness
What are the chances of opening to a page in my journal of 18 years ago, and coming across a passage about Trump? Well, it seems the chances are good. In December of 2000, I had copied the following information from a book about Mary Magdalene and the Sacred Feminine: “The Tarot card Trump No.15…
Everything Is Of The Same Importance
This is about looking up, while meditating or imagining. It is a good idea, and a strange thing too, as in an infinite field, where there cannot be any place that is different from another, there is no middle, no side, no up and no down. So looking up belongs to the relative world. Some…
It’s Not A Gift
The ability to play football is not a gift. In fact, I don’t believe there really is anything that we are “gifted” with. The definition of gifted means “talented, accomplished, proficient, expert.” Society deems someone “gifted” when they are successful at what they set out to do. I’m going to argue that you may not even need…
When We Just Do It…
Just do it… The Nike advice is so very sound… Waking up early to climb up a steep mountain doesn’t always seem appealing, I realised today… ? My waking feeling was that it was all rather hard, the terrain, the thin air, needing to do it early before the blazing sun appeared over the mountain…….
Why Do I Feel Fragile?
This week I feel a bit strange. My mood has dipped, and while I expected to be happy about my children returning to school after the summer holiday, I actually feel deflated. Yes, I admit, I miss my darlings when they are at school. They might squabble and shout, but they are my girls, and…
So Many Questions…
Last week I looked again at some important questions that this journey with Dax has raised recently and the answers that I have found so far. This whole process has been a very interesting one for me. It has caused me to question so many things – myself, my approach, my abilities and my beliefs. …
Blessed Water
The water came on Valentine’s night, in small droplets as it does here in New Mexico’s desert after long periods of drought. But then, bit by bit, these drops became real rain, unabashed, filling the air with long-awaited moisture that seeped down into the thirsty earth. That night I stepped outside of my boyfriend’s house…
Celebration With a Worry
I started a face, scrambled of course. It started to have features of a bird and I continued making birds. Not so clear indeed. I did a cloud and a little piece of a plant. Then painted, a long process that lasted till the evening, with breaks of course. I liked the way it looked,…
My Feet Record It All…
The sound of the cicadas was deafening as we stepped out of the car into a blanket of late afternoon heat… We were half way up the winding mountain road and needed a quick pit stop, we’d been travelling since 7 am… The day had started when we stepped out of our Stables home into…
