My nose is still running and the kettle's on as I warm up from my walk. All signs pointed me in the direction of outdoors today. Syncing myself up with nature so I can live more harmoniously requires I actually leave my warm home. After a mind-blowing weekend in Detroit with my beloved yoga teacher, John Friend and my amazing yoga friends, my body is sore, I mean I feel every muscle and I love it! My hip is bruised not from yoga but from trying to run to the bathroom and not miss even a moment, alas I fell down the stairs. Any physical pain ignored, pride in check, ran back in to wild applause for the Starne sisters doing Mandalasna with John. Interesting, I have never seen this pose down, I've been dying to try to learn it, then I miss it. No coincidence but divine plan for sure. Great news, my friend Erin can show me so I am going to try it out on Thursday. Another "impossible pose" becomes possible!
I'm not psychic like read your palm, talk to the dead kind, but I am super tuned into nature. I use Doreen Virtue PH.D's magical unicorn oracle cards to give me diving guidance. I'm a big fan of her goddess deck too. Anyway I pick two cards today one from each deck. I do realize how airy fairy it sounds to draw wisdom from a "unicorn deck" but hey I'm totally open so why the heck not, is what I say. I pick the Light card, it reads "see the light within yourself and everyone else." Easy to do after spending 8 hours doing amazing yoga. The next card, get out be some water. Good thing the Thames River runs just behind my house.
The air has the Spring smell to it, crisp and earthy. The ground is spongy, wet, and soft. There are actually green shoots everywhere, waiting to bust out but holding back as if the sense another snow fall, no thanks nature. This time of year is a time of revelation, there's my rake! The river is amazing, fast flowing, overflowing the bank, drowning tree roots and making a heck of a swimming pool for the mallards and Canadian geese. Spring even sounds different from the deep quiet of winter, welcome back noisy robins. The symphony of birds has returned to break the silence, thank goodness, since it gets pretty eire during Canadian winters.
Spring is a time of change, transition and new life. It's also a hell of a lot of work to clean things up again. What have you been eating the last 4 months, where did you think it went? Just to clean up my yard is a lot of work. People ignorantly let their dogs poop on our yard without picking it up, there is garbage EVERYWHERE! Boo! You can only temporarily hide, the thaw reveals all!
I'm excited about this Spring because I know it's bringing BIG changes to my world. Scary and exciting go hand and hand. I hope you get a chance to get your butt outside today, even a 10 minute walk will do. Smile at the robins, be careful by the raging river and see the light within yourself and acknowledge it in others as the walk by. Everyone's in a much better mood, maybe their horny but it's the time of year!
Bountiful blessings to you all,
P.S. if anyone can help me expand my blog audience please let me know how to do that!
