Stillness . A dressing-gown day .

When I opened my eyes this morning it was 8 am . Then it was 10 am . Now 6 pm . Where did the time go ? 

Note to self : Splash water on your face when it is time to wake up .

Ok .... 

When I opened my eyes I spent time reviewing things in my mind . Things that had happened yesterday and perhaps during the night , Thoughts . Landing in my body. Then morning hygiene rituals. It all takes time , especially when I move in the rhythm of my soul. 

I am overwhelmed by the ABUNDANCE that surrounds me : things, thoughts, emotions , inspiration and information coming my my way. It is all good . It comes from social media and above / within . It comes from all around me. I have asked for this and yet when it arrives and I become aware of it - part of me cries ‘whoooooah ..enough .... too much ‘ . I need to be discerning. 

YES - NO - NO FOR NOW .

Today I released while writing to someone that THE POINT OF POWER IS  TRULY IN THE NOW . ... and REST IN THE AWARENESS OF THE BREATH ... is where PRESENCE lies . MIND and HEART and SOUL we / I need them ALL  

In this world we live in DUALITY , but there is another dimensions that is important in the journey of duality . 
We need to hold them BOTH , but HOW ?  
Therein lies the challenge .

Discernment in the NOW 

Does it resonate with what is true and honest and authentic for ME ?  ( Others have their own journeys and beliefs that are right and perfect for them ) 

BODY  leaking past catheter a bit more than usual ; body a bit shaky , heart beating a little faster than usual , probably the cortisone .
FEELING peaceful, inspired  
MIND - thoughts a little hyper 
SPIRIT- is guiding me

Today after chemo 2:3 ( last of three in second cycle ) I've given myself permission to have a dressing-gown day and pottering around. Among things I've done , in no particular order ; watered plants , done dishes made and had breakfast , phoned  my contact nurse to talk about plans , had some crisps while watching a film , made and had lunch , boiled Beluga lentils to use later, 
made and drunk several cups of green tea , checked mail and FB posts, and interacted on social media . 

Beauty is always welcome.
The colours , textures and the colibri are eye candy for my body and soul .

“Going nowhere … isn’t about turning your back on the world;
it’s about stepping away now and then so that you can see the world more clearly and love it more deeply.”
Leonard Cohen
