i send you this
with a
tear stained face
feet that have been urged into the earth
hands that have been stretched up towards the stars and crone moon
i am healed and grieving and lost and found all at once.
this is life, all of it, even the bits that feel unpretty
the bits that are in pain and i want to run away from them.
i think:
if i just sit with it, it will be okay. so i do.
sitting, healing, silliness, crying, pain writing, laughing uproarously, deepening,
joy at the glory of the earth. mama gaia is always there for me to be held on.
i'm not sure what's going on right now,
and that's okay.
i am living in the GREAT mystery of it all.
i don't need to be DOING my spirit work.
i am LIVING it.
each moment is momentous.

Yes, yes, yes, Leonie! Let the work happen. Let the Spirit guide you into all truth. Let the tears flow. I've just finished reading a book called Messy Spirituality - and, my dear, your sentiments sound eerily similar not only to what I read, but also to my own feelings these days. This life can be quite messy - but also lovely, frightful, glorious, and dreadful, all within a single hour. May we never lose hope. There is so much living to do. Making my way here in Charlotte, Gail
Thinking of you Leonie...your journey is a sacred one and yes, you are living it :) You are a wonderful soul!
xx
I honour you and your journey. May you feel comforted by the earth's warm arms.
whatever is happening, i can feel it from here and it is enormous and beautiful and full of so much graceful movement.
you ARE living it and you have been since you were born into Mother Earth.
i am hugging you and rocking you back and forth until we giggle.
love you,
your american frister
leonie,
about a year ago, i was feeling these same feelings your describe. and i went to sark's message board and stumbled across a link to your blog. and a whole new world opened for me. you taught me that i am not alone. you introduced me to a world where people share with truth and honesty and women honor each other and support one another in this crazy, hard, wide, deep, painful, beautiful journey.
you are not alone my dear. we are all here with you as you bravely live in this life. beautiful girl.
Sweet Leonie,
You ARE!
Thanks for recommending "The Goddess Path"...so loving it!
I have read this eight times....no kidding....over and over and I have 3 things keep coming back to me....
1) You are so right Loney, and you are so good at being right...I love how you see things...you are so very very wise.
2) When I see that picture....I happy sigh....I think....wow, I took that picture...like I was standing this close to this Goddess sister of mine and I love that feeling. (yeah I know its all about me and my fabulous photographic skills really)
3)I LOVE you....and I LOVE you in a way that YOU taught me to love and it is all good babeeeeeeeeee.
The only thing I took from the SARK board was your link. You practice what she preaches.
Now when you've wiped your tears, go forth.
Stop talking.
Go forth and conquer.
*sigh*
and what a beautiful messy journey it is, over rock and stream.
I love it. even when I don't get it.
Leonie: in aLL Truth, this is one of the Strongest pc.s of writings I have read from you, ever.
I Lo-lah-loOOVe this NEW saying of Yours:
*i don't need to be DOING my spirit work.
i am LIVING it.*
