I am in the universe.
The universe is in my body.
The universe and I are one.
Thus begins a favorite Spring Forest Qigong meditation.
My Rabbit Hole journey, which is drawing to a close, changed things, as Rabbit Holes generally do.
A magnificent space. Stunning gardens. Music flowing with peace. Gentle gongs keeping fascinating people on a journey together. (Or mostly!) Delicious food, elegant in its simplicity.
And as close at it seems 10 people might come to a virtual absence of inner critics!
Just people gently making space for each other to take care of themselves. No shame. No blame. No pressure.
It feels rather like a miracle!
Healing of a powerful sort, thanks to old friends and new from Learning Strategies.
I knew when I signed up for this particular Rabbit Hole excursion that it would be a stretch for me, activity-wise.
And it was.
I also know that stretching is how we get stronger. More whole.
There have been times in the past when I wasn’t sure I could stretch any farther without breaking. Until I tried.
And then, just in the last few weeks, the painting, above, was born inside me.
Two perspectives, different on the surface, encountering each other on the path called Color of Woman.
This weekend, image and language came together. An unexpected combination of Intentional Creativity and intentional movement. Plus a bit of geography!
I am in the universe.
The universe is in my body.
The universe and I are one.
Words I’ve known for several years.
Now I know what it looks like. I am changed. And my world feels a whole lot bigger!
Come back here Wednesday to meet the frogs. And the wonder of contentment!
The dogs will be home from Camp, too!
Wow Sue, you continue to amaze me. You’re doing such great work! Yay you! Thanks for sharing your journey.
XO, Patrice
Thank you! Have found myself in a whole new world where words and images and experiences are dancing with each other and things I never imagined are happening. Your comment means a lot!
Gorgeous painting! The cosmos, infinite!
Thank you, Cheryl! I’m not a primarily visual person and I’m always stunned when things like this show up and I can see what I didn’t know before! Watch for more of this painting… It’s headed for a book cover!
