The Merry Go Round Of Life
We stepped out of our breakfast cafe this morning, to even warmer air... 19 degrees today...
We both felt a bit weary, and walked along the road before stumbling into a run...
As we returned to our 'front door' again, Anadi confessed that if I had said that I didn't want to go after all, he would have happily turned back!
I rarely turn back...
Half way round we had affirmed how glad we were to be running along the river, heading towards the sea; flat calm today, and past the old fashioned roundabout with the children all playing on the swings nearby...
The roundabout reminds me of my mother and of Mary Poppins!
I totally loved the fairground as a youngster, the more scary the ride the better... Whereas my mother, liked the gentle merry-go-round, with the horses bobbing...
I didn't 'get this' at all then... It was 'the rocket' for me or 'the helter skelter'! Neither did I get her penchant for cream teas...
All I wanted to do was race about, fuelled by the occasional Mars bar, and do scary things, on my bike, on horses, up rock faces and trees...!
But now I understand, and when I see the painted horses, and hear the melodic music, I think of her and recognise that gentle merry-go-rounds and cream teas are very lovely things indeed, which I would choose every time now over the scary rides...
Although, in marrying Anadi I still have my share of scary adventures...!
Later...
We have just been invited to the staff party...
This demonstrates how long we have been staying here!
There is to be dancing later and I said I liked the idea...
That I like to dance...
And I like San Sebastián...
Anadi and I were discussing this morning our energetic resonance with different parts of the world...
I was saying to him the places I liked the best, and I asked him which were his...
'It is more that I know the places I don't like...' He replied...
This lead me to thinking about how all of us can dream our life into being, and live our own fairy tale out in the world...
And how knowing what we don't want can be a starting place, as that can point an arrow to where our blocks to what we do want might be...
I was talking with a client last week, who is looking for a direction... We went down one path which looked possible, but on exploration he absolutely knew it wasn't the way for him, and finding that out felt a useful exercise...
Creative dreaming need have no limits, we can take a walk down a pathway to see if it resonates with our soul, and if it doesn't, we can turn away again... If it does feel right, then as we journey we will see if any fears or doubts arise...
It is always about clearing any blocks from the inside out...
So that we can hear our hearts calling and follow fearlessly!
And this happens best from accepting what is now...
Anadi heard from the Australian Embassy today... He has many questions to answer and documents to produce..
My heart calls me to stretch on the run... At the moment I am aiming to run fast on a track in Australia; but should Anadi not be allowed in; my heart spoke to me this morning and asked if this is the case, we change direction and I find another destination to run like the wind...!
