Many changes afoot....and more to come. This beautiful Buddha reminds me to breathe....and stay grounded and real. A big life change ahead as we are getting our house ready for selling and then, when the deed is done and we release our beautiful home to the new recipients, we will head out on a big adventure across the U.S and Canada in a small trailer(yet to be discovered...all in right timing) to live a simpler life for a while.....or maybe longer... We will see what Life presents us.
As we prepare for this BIG adventure....the emotions, thoughts and feelings are multi-layered and very "out of body" experiences.
We are living in a house that no longer looks like our home....stripped of all colour and personality in an effort to appeal to the wider masses....we wander from room to room, leaving an echo....(no pictures on the walls!) and a trail of 'something new is about to happen' wafting behind us.
This is a process....this I know....and this too will pass...the strain, the physical work and constant motion, monkey-mind and the anticipation.
We have moved house many times....this time, we both agree is very different. We are endeavouring to contain our house contents in an 11x15 foot locker. Looking around this 2300 sq foot home, even I know that mathematically this cannot be done!
But there has been a big shift this last few months(maybe even longer than that) and I feel compelled to "let go" of all that has shackled me and weighed me down and release it and live a simpler and more honest life. A real creative life! Not just painting, creating, teaching here and there but, living each day in creative pursuit.....and for this we need to open up to something completely new....theres a whole World out there and I am excited to jump in!
More to come....
