I feel so held by you! Thank you, Sam! ❤️❤️❤️ I love thinking of words as conduits that allow us to be together, sipping tea, even across oceans. How am I? I am a mix of things (aren't we all, all the time?). So relieved and happy and deeply comfortable to be back home after a stressful trip. And also a bit frazzled trying to catch up with things after a week of not working. But, right now, I'm feeling very blessed.
I too like to imagine that we are all together, beyond the oceans, beyond time, sharing wisdom, sharing silence, sharing...just sharing...Substack has helped me create a sacred circle of wonderful people. I am blessed because of that.
Let me pour you some tea, to help with the frazzled and to hold the need to "do."
😁🤗 Thank you for asking about the piano! It's in! It takes up most of the dining room (which, to be honest, we hardly use anyway). And you know what? I actually think maybe, possibly, I kind of like it. It feels homey somehow in a way I didn't expect. Also, there is a rose-scented, sweet-feeling, ghost hanging around it who I think is glad the piano is once again in a home with living people. All in all, I'd say it's good!
I don't yet. I've been moving slow with this one, not wanting to push any of my own agenda. It feels like such a gentle being, I want to let it unfold to me as it chooses, if it chooses. In the meantime, I'll just allow space for them to try to provide a sense of welcoming. I suspect it might be one of my husband's grandmothers, but time will tell.
I've read this three times already and asked myself these simple but deep questions. Appreciate the invitation to go in deeper...will be doing some journalling today! I am tired - tired eyes, tired heart, tired bones. Ready for rest and ready to come out hopeful on the other side of stillness.
Oh bless you! Thank you for reading and re-reading my words. Thank you for asking yourself the questions.
May in your rest, may you find peace and healing, stillness and a way to deeply breathe out. May your tired eyes,heart and bones deeply breathe out, knowing for this moment in time they can be at peace. In honour of your hearts journey.
I fell into this and felt held in this space Sam, where all of time stops for a moment and I can pause and catch my breath. I feel that same level of upgrade of energy and am tentatively testing out what that looks and feels like, which can expose some vulnerability. I stand in a new power knowing things will never be the same, which is both exciting and daunting at the same time. I welcome this time over tea to spend to reflect and celebrate all that has been. Thank you! 💫🙏
Oh Louise! Thank you for falling into this space with me. Thank you for sharing what it means for you.
How is wish I could pour a cuppa for you, for I too feel as though I am in the same space...feeling upgraded, feeling exposed, feeling excited, feeling daunted, feeling a new power rise up, and then holding that wonderful energy and wondering what to do with it. Oh how a shared cup of tea would be lovely.
I am always amazed how life on one end of the earth is blooming and on the other it is wilting and withering. Here our rose bushes are scaling back and entering hibernation, yet someone dropped by with a bouquet of roses for me today. So unexpected, so sweet, truly touched my heart.
I just finished my substack post for today, and I feel like I am steeped in the energy of new beginnings, staring a new journey, the wonder of it all. Yes, even in the midst of the fading and the dying. They go hand in hand, a circle completed to turn once more. Cannot have one without the other. This is what I am currently musing on.
Thanks for you post today Sam, and for your simple yet so powerful question.
I too feel amazed at how different parts of the earth are doing different things. It makes me feel as though I am held in both hemispheres. The part that wants to grow and burst forth and the part that wants to go inward and be held. And in the middle somewhere is me...inviting, allowing and following my truth and path in a, hopefully, balanced way.
A circle, as you say, a circle to be completed once more.

Oh Jenna. Your words are so beautiful. Thank you.

ps/ how is the piano?

Oh Blesss! That sounds so beautiful, so welcoming, so special. Do you know who the spirit is?

Thank you Julie, for your wisdom.
May your healing empower you and uplift you,
May it guide you through the tunnels and show you to the light
May it support your physical, emotional and mental energy
and may it invite all the beautiful things to come into your heart.
In kindness.
