Encouragement. Fearlessness. Hypnotic musings on isolation & Freedom

Fearless is the new fabulous.
Now “fearless and flowing”, the lights are on, the mist clears.
And as you read this, it gets easier
To create your new reality
Obstacles are fun
Trauma? Triumphs!
We’re evolving into care and kindness
Where only that will do
Where health and wellbeing are everything
and support networks are there to catch us if we try to fall through.
But if we fall – we fall spectacularly!
and held by such kindness if we just allow it,
and ask for a little bit of help here,
a little bit of encouragement there.

We’re in a stream, a flowing, rich stream of crystal clear water.
Marooned on a stone slab – a stepping stone in the middle of the rush.
What do we do when isolated?
Not sure if we should step forward?
We can take a little holiday; right where we are
And see what floats towards us.
If we wait.
If we ask.
Gifts come rushing towards us from upstream,
where networks and intelligence are in place.
– Set off by kind people,
Baskets with all that we need and desire.
And why not!
We too can send off bundles of goodies and re-establish trust
& faith in humanity.
Faith in the structures in place.
Morooned – but safe and spoilt with abundance,
shared, appreciated, and shared on.

There is no need to struggle
When we focus on our hearts and love
Being stranded is mere opportunity
to create what’s yet to come.

Be positive – the days are not all dark.
Light always wins
there is no battle
Just easy steps, to breeze upon
There’s always breath
and connecting to that.
If it seems overwhelming
we need just ask
for a step up, up and over!
to the bright, open field by the wood
That goes on, and on for as long as we wish it to.
