Me Musing .
. . October
17, 2008 . . .
A few days
ago as I was returning from errands I came around the corner and
was awe-struck by the colour of our neighbor's tree. This photo
doesn't quite capture the vividness of it, but thought I'd include
it anyway!
That
same evening I decided I'd better tackle the mess I had shoved into
the bottom of the Bowl Room closet months ago when I moved my fabric
stash from there to the Sewing Room closet. There were scads of
half-finished notecards, extra envelopes, cardstock yet to be sized
and all kinds of other things. As often happens, once I sit down
to sort, I end up spending most of the time just looking through
saved items and musing about either
the memories that came with them OR how I could incorporate them
into something to be 'Bricolaged'
.
(Bricolage
is a French word meaning 'to
take the ordinary items at hand and transform them into the extraordinary'.)
This
is one I found that I had saved from years ago . . .
and
it got me to musing about how many
years most of us spend following the path 'of something other than
Spirit' until one day we either wander-onto
or get thrown-onto 'The Path
of our Spirit'. . .
'a defining moment' as they say!
Yesterday
I had my monthly Chi Nei Tsang (Abdominal Massage) with Maureen.
(You can read more about my first one on this link.)
Again, it was quite wondrous. She always asks me what I'd like to
focus on during that time and again I wanted to continue on with
the 'Creativity Pathway' that seems to be front and center in the
past few months.
I
had really gotten into the sewing mode before we took an 8 day trip
to the Oregon Coast a few weeks ago. Since we returned I have looked
at the sewing machine, but nothing in me has felt like starting
up again!
As
Maureen began I could feel everything in me begin to 'come
to rest' and it dawned on me that I wanted
to become more 'adept' at allowing my Creativity to take its
own spirit's path and in order for that to happen
I would have to learn to put aside my preconceived
ideas of what that Creative output
might look like . . . (writing doesn't mean it has to become a book;
sewing doesn't have to become a piece of clothing; painting doesn't
have to be a salable item . . . you get the 'picture'. . . no pun
intended!) . . . ALL easier said than done . . .
Having
had that almost instantaneous Creativity 'aha', my body just naturally
began to fall into long, gentle in-breaths and out-breaths.
After
awhile those breaths were wider and wider apart, seemingly creating
more and more space between my cells and organs and energy centers
while, at the same time, very soft and quiet . . . so much so that
a part of me felt that those breaths were actually 'breathing me'
instead of me doing the breathing. It was one of those deep, silent
moments when everything becomes soooooooooo clear and understandable,
yet when you try to put it into words it sounds really dorky!
Sooooooooooooo
I shall just leave it at that for now.
Happy
Autumn Colours!
Until
soon,
