Lack of Words
Keeping it simple
Keeping it simple
Journaling has been an important part of my journey towards remembering who I am. A fabuluous tool for getting in touch with myself on a soul level and also for taking out the trash (as in emptying my head) and getting ideas.
Writing…. I remember an astrologer I went to see years ago, a lovely authentic, elderly lady said to me “You really should be writing. If you don’t, you risk making yourself sick”. I knew she was right. Just as much as I knew I was going to be writing. One way or another. I have felt that way since my early youth.
It turned out my writing came down more or less to only to journaling. Which I now refuse to beat myself up over (I have been extremely good at judging myself for all kinds of things before embarking on my jouney towards alignment with who I am at my core).
As it turns out that same journey has brought something else with it. Where before I would easily write pages full of words I now have difficulties coming up with enough.
Enough? What does that even mean? I asked myself that and was quickly reminded that I should not allow myself to be stuck in what used to be or go with what validates others opinion of what is the right way of doing it.
Notice how many words I have used up until now without coming to the core of my topic of lack of words? Hang in there ….
My reality for a number of years now has revolved around stripping down life and living to get to the ease and joy it has always been meant to be. Life was never meant to be as complicated as our small humans selves tend to make it. For the most part as a result of programming from early childhood.
If you ask your soul I’ll bet you will hear it gently ask you why you choose complicated when that never was the agreement when you came to this beautiful blue marble to experience being a human.
So, an example (which gets me to the point. Finally!):
On a webinar in connection with the release of his latest book the wonderful Ainslie Macleod presented this short statement (among lots of other nuggets):
THAT WAS THEN. THIS IS NOW.
Boom!
What if it is that simple? Really? To let go of past crap that doesn’t serve you? Can you choose that? And if so, how many other areas of life can you choose to be simple? Not always easy, but always with ease.
That phrase is actually ALL I feel like writing and posting (I bet I could have fooled you there)
THAT WAS THEN. THIS IS NOW.
For me those words hold a complete universe of wisdom, growth and possibilites. I do however clearly see that those words alone would probably do nothing for you as a reader, but the bottomline is I have come to terms with the fact that my writing most probably will be short and sweet. At least compared to what it used to be.
I do believe it is the space between the words I love so much when I follow the inkling to strip it down to a minimum.
Let’s see where this is going in future writings. Not making any promises here.
Till next time; Ease and Joy
