All Things Are Possible...
Today, 'Julia's not gone running...'
My body asked me to take a rest...
Anadi and I sat chatting watching the beautiful sky this morning, instead of me heading out to run...
We were exploring the difference between consciously engaging in something and something being a distraction...
The line is so fine...
And sometimes hard for others, and even ourselvs to tell the difference... Are we expressing from our soul, or distracting from listening to its calling...
They could even be the same thing...
My running is my soul expression, but has also been a distraction...
The desire for fast times, to make me feel okay - the distraction - is very different to a fast time arising out of stretching for excellence out of silence...
The sound of our soul resonating throughout the land, healing others as they see it in action, hear its truthful vibration, feel it, and are inspired by it...
The push of the mind exhausts, whereas our work coming from stretching for the stars out of enthusiastic inspiration never tires...
So many get exhausted by their endeavours; whereas our soul expression never tires us... We know when to rest and we know when to work hard, and exhaustion and effort of life does not occur...
The toiling exhausts and ages us, whereas the inspired endeavour keeps us youthful, with the same enthusiasm as a young person setting out to fulfil their dreams...
We have many inspirations around us now in the form of people who have lived for a long time on the planet, who are still pursing goals and dreams with the energy of those who have just set out...
The magical child energy in their being....
'Shall we have coffee' I suggested...
'We could do some guided writing...'
Coffee on the terrace at the Grand Hotel in the sun, no computers or phones...
Just the space to talk and watch the sea..
The sea and the sky....
And sun of course, always sun shining on us, it's energy lighting the way...
We picked up our pads and pens and asked our guides, our higher selves, our inner voice for our deepest wisdom...
For both Anadi and I the words and guidance that emerged were in essence the same...
Follow your dreams, trust your soul, let go of fear about being supported... Clear the fear and keep striving in the endeavours of your soul...
All else springs from this place...
For me this is running, for Anadi creating through programming his innovative ideas through the medium of the computer...
It has always been running for me, and it still is... Stretch in the running; follow the running road and all else springs from this; my writing, my relating, my seeing, my wisdom...
I find it in the stretch, the seeking to uncover and discover what is possible through my own souls journey...
After we had read our writing out to one another, we were reflecting and exploring what words had emerged, when a wasp landed on Anadi's finger and walked along it...
It's little feet tickling him as it wandered along....
This is what the wasp totem says....
Mirroring our morning...!
'Go to work on your goals and your goals will work on you. All the good things we build – end up building us.
When Wasp comes buzzing into your life:
You are being reminded that simply thinking about your dreams will not make them a reality as quickly as going out and doing it. Make a plan, keep working towards it and let nothing get in your way. Perseverance, desire and action are what is called for. Apply your passion to the reality you wish to achieve!
It’s time to allow yourself the notion that all things are possible...'
