Oh, Sam, I felt my shoulders relax and my whole heart space open wide with the words Right to Roam. How amazing! It feels so perfectly...unencumbered. I love it! And I very much want to know what you learned about time from that amazing stone by the sea. ❤️

Oh Jenna, isn't He so beautiful. Such a magnificent face. He is the Rock At The Edge. And he was so happy to be noticed. To be acknowledged. To be heard. He spoke to me about Time... He is the Guardian of the Depth of Time - The Past, the Present and the Future. The timelessness of life, the peacefulness of existence and the waters of the deep. I have still to integrate what He taught me. He has encouraged me to visit again and again. To journey deep into His cave and sit with Him in a safe refuge of Timeless Knowledge and Healing. He also spoke of being acknowledged, of being seen, of being heard and the importance of such... for now and the future generations. Thank you for asking. For acknowledging. For seeing those beautiful faces too.

This is a lovely reflection, I really enjoy the connection you make to rite, to this idea of rituals or rites of passage and how we all at times have inescapable longings of our hearts to scatter into the wind, not worrying about the destination at all.

I resonate with this a lot this week Sam. The sense of having so much to share, yet it all being stored somewhere for safekeeping. Almost as though there is sacredness in it that can not be given away on a whim, (that's just come to me). In the same breath I am craving freedom, but I don't yet know for what. I want to fly on the wings of an eagle, swim with the salmon and sit in commune in the woods. It's a pull, a 'rite', but I feel stuck, so there is conflict for a while. You've reminded me that in my imagination I can roam anywhere and I accept the invitation. Thank you. 🙏

Thank you for taking the time to deeply read beyond the words, to allow the words to take you to those places within that invite deep solace, expansion and silence. I love your words " not to be given away on a whim" for these experiences are sacred, they are making my cells shimmer and my heart open, my mind expand and my body want to move in a different way, to give the experience away on a whim would be like giving my babe away, my life away, my spirit away...and yet there have been times I have done just that and have fallen flat. Sometimes it is hard to know when, sometimes it is a wrong judgement, sometimes it needs to be shared knowing that "they wont get it" and yet it had to be done, sometimes it is shared to feel the "new ground" I am now walking on and hoping that whom I share it with can hold it as gently as I wish them to. Oh Louise, so many things have arisen from those words... thank you...thank you.

Such a beautiful piece, your trip looked beautiful! I love the reflection of where am I not allowing myself to roam freely? I feel very called to exploring that! Thank you xx

Related to what your wrote here today. The integrating without words, the freedom to roam. It is a rite, a worship! Our world can be very segmented and divided in so many ways. Roaming is a beautiful invitation, to move beyond boundaries, both inner and outer as you beautifully stated here in your writing. I feel I have been doing this lately, with this time of integration I am in. Being with where it is taking me. I find myself at times in unexpected places, new horizons and landscapes. And other times I feel stuck, held rigid by the borders and limits I self impose or am complicit with. Yet both the roaming and the limits are teaching me, forming and creating something yet to be stepped into and known.

Julie, I totally relate to what you write here - it is such a rite, a worship. To be able to roam in both the inner realms and outer realms. To be able to BE with what is going on and to trust in the process, even though at times it makes one feel stuck and rigid and held/bound. And then all this is a teacher. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. In honour of your own journey and the integration process you are going through.
