There is something going on inside of me that wants to be known. I can sense it, feel it, and sometimes, almost see it! I’ve been searching, traveling, wandering about and lately resting, listening and remembering.
Sometimes I feel like there is a new discovery about to emerge. Then there are those moments when it seems as if an old friend wants to be remembered.
Perhaps it is both; the energy of the old and new coming together to create a different, blended experience of who I am and who I am becoming.
I am grateful for writing buddies and writing teachers and writing classes that keep me writing when there doesn’t seem to be any ’right’ words left in me to write. And then I begin, and they flow across the blank page as if directed by a composer I have yet to meet.
It always amazes me when inspiration arrives, and the words become notes in a symphony on paper. Wisdom comes when I let go of what I think I have to write, when I let myself be guided by what I am supposed to be writing as I let go of any expectation of the final verse.
If you find yourself stuck in contemplation, lost in a fog of indecision, or just muddling along towards tomorrow with no destination in mind, try writing.
In fact, I toss you this challenge… Pick up a pen and any paper and allow whatever words you are holding at bay to flow forth and fill your empty page.
Don’t edit, don’t erase, don’t worry about punctuation or spelling.
Set your words free! Be an explorer. Let your words be your guide for even just ten minutes today.
Trust your intuition, turn loose your personal insight and allow your senses to navigate the way. Your words become a compass as you draw the map to that destination you are searching for.
Write your way through new perspectives that have the potential to bring positive, uplifting, and sustainable change to the journey.
My own journey these past few weeks has had me looking deeply into the center of me, sourcing the reason for the journey and the outcome that is best for me. I am learning new ways to “travel” as I explore the recesses of my body, mind, heart, and soul, letting go of the “reasons” and just allowing what is to be, just that.
I am excited for the things I will learn and open to all sources of wisdom in whatever form it comes. I am looking forward to meeting new teachers, new friends, and to taking my “act” back out into the world virtually as well as in person. I am beginning to map out 2024 as I look forward to new opportunities, the publication of new books, the composition of new art that holds sacred my stories and the telling of them.
What lies ahead for you in 2024?
What do you need to wrap up or let go of as you round the last corners of 2023?
What is pulling on your heartstrings and waiting to be known? Can you feel it? Can you touch it?
Writing through the questions and taking note of the answers, I send you all much love and many blessings for the magic and mystery that envelops you and that which is waiting for you just around the next corner.
Happy Travels…
