OR, THE CAGE DOOR IS SLOWLY OPENING…
Wakey, wakey! Morning everyone! Well it is morning that’s for sure and I’m off to the gym, spa and yoga before lunchtime concert at the reference library, my temple now, my sacrosanct place of quiet and reflection. So without further ado off I trot with my new healthy lifestyle and philosophy.
Confucius He Say…..
After my previous months of confusion it’s more Confucius now, so it’s “Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.” This was really my philosophy on my travels before but I lost essence of this by somewhat sneering at the small things, the small journeys and now I’m becoming humble again. In the quietening of my impatient brain I also had to remind myself ,“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” I indeed have now accepted this so am learning from my tortuous sudden change in my life of speeding along maniacally. From my disappointment in not being able to achieve moving from London and its seemingly insurmountable obstacles in creating a new wild life in so much as a life in the wild it’s been more of a practical “The [wo]man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones” (surely learnt that in my garden in Turkiye.) And “If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake” I now do not just ignore my fuckups but go about trying to fix them. When whizzing about you can all too easily ignore your foolishness and stubbornly not really learn from it. And remember “The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor the man perfected without trials.” Yeah, I think we all have the hang of that one my darling old birds et al.
Simple Things Until my Fresh Flight from the Nest.
So I’ve been flitting around on very simple but wonderful outings, to visit both family and countryside, woodland and parks. I’ve been learning and delving into herbal medicine and attending Chinese energy healing courses. I’ve read avidly as my long slow journey to move away again to Mexico unfolds, and got myself on to a much higher level spiritually. This enforced extended stay here has been a huge eye opener as I gaze forward to my new enlightened future and I invite you to come with me.
I would advise a little self work in these times of dumbing down, a rethink of how your life is actually going to unfold before you? A little living in the now and seeing beauty in the small things that are right in front of you in your wonderful reality. It’s time to create your universe as you want it again and not to allow others to taint it with their negative energy, jealousy and lack of imagination. I’m next to you let us fly free again.
However in a paradoxical way he also say “We have two lives, and the second begins when we realise we only have one.”
So let’s get going and don’t let peoples stupidity get in your way for it does seem very few people have properly awoken. Take this with you on that account, it’s not Confucius but Einstein “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity: and I’m not sure about the universe.”
So I spoke with my cuz and I’m finally ready to revisit Turkiye without my heart breaking after my house still in the stronghold of Turkish bureaucratic loopholes and disasters. I will visit my family and friends and pick up cases of my things that I left behind while still believing I was going there to live. Looking at these cases of hope will be heart wrenching but necessary if I’m to move forward with my move to Mexico.
I personally adhere to ” The way out is through the door, why is it that no one will use that method?”
I have many packets of non GMO organic food seeds along with wildflower seeds for fragrance and insects especially bees. I have fabrics for my dyeing projects, evil eyes, hammocks, goat bells and my work dungarees and big boots. I have a cotton swimsuit and a variety of my homemade flowery skirts and caps and notebooks and well, memories. It will be tough and bitter sweet but part of the process of moving on that this terrible stay in London has been grindingly teaching me life lessons that I might be a better person for this next episode in my life. For this is how I’m viewing it, my next bit on, hopefully, my newly acquired higher spiritual level for my new bright part of this wonderful life. My new pathway on this exciting magnificent journey. See you in a bit
