jumping flew animalkind



a magnetic poem created on bek's fridge ~ my first poem in years.
i dedicate this to
liz, in honour of her sharing the passion of poetry and getting me in love with my inner poet again.

I've decided to take some time off for living.

I'm an intense bean ~ those born under the sign of Scorpio will understand the all or nothing aspect of our nature. I find myself addicted to the looking outward, the seeking of inspiration, the outside validation of self worth. All of this has its place, but so does being blissfully hermit-is.

It is only midsummer, but already I find myself beating Persephone down autumn's stairs into introspection. I want to change my energy source from being somewhere outside to somewhere inside me ~ self fuelled and immersed in my life, not so much in the documentation of.
I know this is the right choice for right now ~ when I made it, a huge flock of pink galahs flew right toward me, then over my head and my studio.

I'm not sure for how long. I want to fall back in love with myself and silence again ~ a sacred act, this inward initiation, the medicine wheel turning.

Let me know if you'd like to receive a notification email when spirit calls me to swing back into the blogging saddle again. Maybe it will be a few days, maybe a week. Maybe more. Otherwise, I will see you in the inbox, the letterbox or the dreaming ethers. I will be the one with feathers in her hair and a buffalo bracelet.


You are beautiful.
love,
Leonie

Oh dearest Leonie take all the time you need and know that you will be missed more than words can say. Your blog is my morning cup of coffee so I guess this means time for a coffee break.
I'd love to know when you are ready to come back to this little magical world of blogging and share your wonder*filled self once again.

Much magic on your journey,
Sheila

Dear Leonie -

I will miss your posts so much - but I fully understand the need to stop the record-keeping and just BE.

With a hopeful heart I wish you peace and joy and await patiently your return.

Best Wishes,
Chris

Enjoy your journey lovely lady....

Read page 87 of "The Artists Way" - really hits home hard (I totally freaked out) but feels like it would really assist you right now.

Love to you,
From The lady with the blue nails ;)

I know I have commented to this post but I just had to send you a note again to let you know that you are so very loved and missed. I find myself checking in here every single day in hopes of finding some Leonie candy. I hope that you are having a very inspiring journey right now and are staying connected to mother earth. Sending you lots of love.
