I allow myself to sit in the moment - to sit in a place where I feel so centred and so grounded. The feeling is all encompassing - one of solidity and protection; security and freedom.
The quote, 'Man Is Born Free But Everywhere Is In Chains' comes to mind - I have 'chased' and hunted freedom all my life and I feel it is now I am 'tasting' it.! The flavour releases itself in my being as a gentle explosion of bliss - expanding and spreading out like the rays of the sun as it opens to a new day.
A wonderful release.........
I notice I am with Bear - we are both sitting on a hill watching the grand display of the sun, The open peacock's tail in all its splendour flashes through my vision.
I turn to Bear who is still looking at the sun. He does not take his eyes from it. I'm feeling a little anxious - wondering if this is the dawning of the sun or the setting of the sun?
It matters not which for the sun is in all its glory. This calms me.
We wait and we watch....... Slowly patches of gold alight the earth and I realise then it is a dawning. This brings me great joy.
"You do not need to delve into the dark or the depths of your fears, for light is being shed on all your woes. You are being granted asylum and as such will be required to fulfill tasks for the flourishing of the whole."
As I feel this, I am seeing another vision of the gardens of a monastery, a sanctuary. I watch and feel the roles of the monks - the tending of the gardens, the tasks they perform not just out of necessity, but out of choice and desire. The enjoyment and fulfillment these profoundly simple tasks create.
I note how the monks also have time to fulfill and enjoy other activities - learning and heartfelt connection.
It matters not who does what - for all give of themselves, their gifts and their skills freely for the peace, harmony, balance and flourishing of the whole.....................
And this is now........
