Every day we experience a magical twilight between our dreams and waking state. During this brief period of time, our minds still remember that all things are possible. We can smoothly transition into our physical world without losing the link between body and spirit, instinct and inspiration.
We can start our day by imagining how love and inspiration feel. As light glows from our heart centre, radiating out through our bodies into the space around us, any feelings of stress or frustration seem to melt away.
My Thoughts:
We just never know what other people are going through on their journey through life. It is so easy to get caught-up in the way they are now, that it is difficult to even imagine what they have endured, or what they may still be going through, but keep it hidden.
To all intense and purposes, I have an ideal life. Married for many years, living in my dream location with a view of the sea, in a beautiful part of Scotland, and privileged to work from home doing what I love, but none of this has any bearing on the things I had to navigate my way through to get here. The thing is, that once we moved here, no one really knew me at all. All people see is the way I am now, and that is how it should be. In my opinion it is no good making a fresh start in life if all you do is drag your history with you. Gradually, as I have got to know people better, things from my past do get revealed, but that is okay with me because their initial reaction when they first met me, was for the me that I am now, and I was not seen in light of past events.
In general, this kind of new start is often associated with those that have a criminal record, a kind of wiping the slate clean and starting again, or after a messy divorce, or even a traumatic childhood, however for me, it was more a case of a relocation to somewhere I would want to stay for the rest of my life. A place that had no connection with all the bad things that life has thrown at me so far (the murder of my partner, death of loved ones, the loss of a child, to name but a few).
That said, if people want to know about things in my past, I will tell them, and If they want to tell me their life story I will quite happily listen. People fascinate me and I think that it is a shame in this frenetic world that we don’t make more time to communicate more.
