Well, this journey of mine keeps conforming to what I am hearing and reading about the astrological and energetic changes we are going through. This is what today feels like, unnervingly, as if I have taken one of those really fast elevators up about 50 floors, and have left everything I ever was down below. No, I'm not acting on the sensation, and dragging my remaining boxes to the dump, or buying a one-way ticket to "anywhere" (yet), but that's what it feels like. That's how different I feel today from the person I've been for nearly 70 years. It's as if the earlier person was the seed, and suddenly, lickety-split, the sun came out after a warm rain, and my seed has sprouted through the surface, and I don't recognize either my own spindly green body and its potential, or the landscape around me, but I'm glad to be alive.
In a related vein, I did a guided visualization yesterday. I've been fighting off a cold, and my head, neck and shoulders felt heavy and congested. In the visualization, my head became a tree. My hair was the branches and leaves, my skull and neck were the trunk, and my arteries and clavicles were the tree roots. (I almost tried to draw a picture of this to share with you, but decided it might limit you if you decided to envision the same thing.) The phrase that came to me in the course of the visualization was, "I've found the tree within."
I have no real idea what all this means, except that it is interesting that these two sensations came within a day of each other. Something about breaking through the surface with sudden new growth, with powerful energy facing the sky and the warmth of the sun, yet still having powerful roots planted in Mother Earth. Being the vertical connection between all the layers of reality. Allowing oneself to truly break through the surface and sing.
Normally, I don't write in the afternoon and just "go for it", but today, here goes.
