Love & Gratitude
Dear friends,
There is work to be done. There is work to be done and we must each do our part. Do your work. Do not do work that is better suited to someone else. Do what is yours to be done and start even when it looks messy to start with knowing with time, practice and deeper understanding it will be beautiful. Do not lose yourself to anxiety, dissociation, exhaustion, or any of those tricks of trauma (simple to write the words, harder to live in balance, but important). Take a breath, find your feet, and begin with one small offering from your heart of hearts.
Experiencing the American election results (no I’m not holding my nose in the pic above ...it’s a good de stressing breathing exercise) effects on many of my good friends, I feel a resolve. I will rise up rooted and do the best with the work I have to offer from my heart of hearts and my good mind.
I have long been interested in and committed to living purposefully. I can’t imagine another way.
My purpose feels like it lives inside a magic trunk within me. When I open myself up to purpose and feel what’s mine to offer I imagine opening a chest full of beauty. I see magic and gardens filled with rosemary and songs and a pharmacopia of natural remedies … so much that I want to pour into the creative nurturing landscape around me and share.
What is your good offering for this world? I’m sure it’s as wonderful and mighty as a mountain lion would look standing proudly on a hill top; or as gentle as a mother deer lifting her big brown eyes and seeing you through a thicket of aspen; or steady as an owl at dusk sweeping through the sky … (p.s. one of my favourite offerings comes from a couple who bake sourdough bread and delivery it home to home every friday - they make bread with love, deliver it with warmth, & sometimes offer extra goodies … it is my favourite little bill I pay and I am so so grateful for their good offering and every friday they make me happy).
We each have our offering you see?
And this, is a little bit of mine.
With love Lucy
p.s. My offerings… writing, singing, art, retreats, movement medicine, osteopathy … and my garden.. eclectic with a common thread of good medicine and imagination
