May be be wild and free in the knowledge of who we truly are & that is enough.

 

July.

Hot & muggy...rain- sometimes.

Milky skies.

Swallows and bats in the evenings and bunnies and herons in the mornings.

Lazy days yet so many hours to do everything.

Everything that can be done until the cold & dark arrives

until we move inside again.

I have grown so much already this season .

More than I have in the accumulation of the past 5.

This wildflower is taking roots in her new life.

I actually feel differently.

It is wild how our work on ourselves is done so 

intimately that we can only view it years later.

When I look back at all the changes it seems like an eternity.

But all I really did was unlearn - a lot .

I watched patterns, really studied them.

I sorted out the unnecessary.

And for what I could not heal or understand I applied

acceptance and prayer...and then let it go.

In the past I would yank that thing back as soon as I let go.

Now, I let it go but to God.

If it is meant to be revisited, it shall be.

This new me...old me revisited, I dunno what to call myself...

Whatever, I am living out a life of trust, faith and renewed purpose.

Here's to the future friends.

To placing faith above fears.

Of being fearful & doing it anyway.

Messy and chaotic some years.

Peaceful & grace filled others.

Life continues to happen.

Yet we pivot and move gracefully with the changes.

No longer fighting against a wall of self doubts.

Honestly, I am full up with trying to figure out what is going on 

in the world and in people.

What the world... my small world needs at least is 

the notion that all of us are failures and unworthy to disappear.

They market that.

Us - failures at ( life, love, friendships, jobs, parenting )

& wholly unworthy of ( love, understanding, patience)

while lecturing us on how intolerant we are.

They sell it all wrapped in fear and guilt.

Break free .

Gaining control over your life is the real freedom.

Be a phoenix.

Enjoy this day friends.
