alone but all together.



amarlia reminds me of a deity sometimes...


funny i look outside the window, and i see rain, but there is none

and somehow i know that there is a part of me in london, typing as we speak, she is looking out into the london rain, experiencing all of this and more. i wonder who she is, is her name leonie also, was she born the same way as me, does she watch the sunset light unfold out onto the street too. what is her story, who does she love, does she write, does she ponder, does she know?

i feel like wanting to be compassionate, because that's me out there, that's me in that woman in london, that's me in sydney, that's me in tokyo and some province in china.
somehow all the unique borders of me fade, and it's not all about being leonie, it's just all about experiencing this. it's all about the seamless soul that knows no face, that holds tight to no situations or circumstance. she just IS.

i wonder... how i am all one, we are all one, navigating this world, experiencing all experiences.

i send a heart call to you. i see how we are deepening in this together. how we are waking slowly, stretching our limbs gently, and opening our eyes to a new world, a new life, everyday. do you remember me? i think i remember you. and i think i remember where we may have come from, where we might be returning, what we might be doing here.

love,
leonie

There is something magnificently simple and joyfully profound about being on this life journey all together but also alone. With those we love and work with. With pets and even strangers - or friends who don't yet know us. But still, we each see, feel, taste, and experience life in unique ways. Walking, reading, writing, dreaming, singing, dancing, seeking, finding, growing, planting (Yeah, it's earth day!), and reaping what we sow. Your words and images are always a joy to ponder, Leonie.
Peace to you, my friend, Gail
