Summer Solstice




With the summer solstice comes a desire for contact with you via a new post.
I am back at la maison hirondelle in France, living quietly and stepping lightly. I have felt some discouragement as by now I had hoped that I would be heralding good tidings.

I thank you for all the loving support I received after my last post, I felt the energy and believe that through this network of love we can and will heal. The possibilities are unlimited if we step out of our boundaries a little, let go of the small stuff, and recognise the divine. That said, I am still in battle for my health. My body is fortunately very strong and I wake up every morning to the birdsong and light of day with the knowledge that I have been given a gift.

I am meeting with healers and doing a lot of inner work as well as continuing on a diet of whole foods.
I find one of the lessons I must learn is to ask for help. No one knows what I am going through and my stubborn independence is not helpful in a state of ill health. My neighbor has had her own battle with cancer and has been extremely helpful in this. She asked me to knock and ask for any help I might need. Why I find this difficult I don't know.

SO what remains to be said? that whatever happens it is for the best and I am thankful for this opportunity to learn, to explore, to understand my own emotions and how they affect and contribute to my state of well being. Therein lies the choice of viewing illness, pain, sad life events as bad and moan and complain about one's lot in life, or to move forward in loving, trusting, accepting, believing that the result is not as important as the process.

I close with a quote from Albert Einstein
"Nothing is inherently bad or good . Value is how we represent it to ourselves."

PS I will send a new post of my work and the new studio space soon if you are interested.

Here is a quick note, Tanza: In asking for help we are actually giving a gift to the person who we ask. When I learned this (the hard way of course), it opened a wonderful world of give and take that I did not know existed. It felt (and feels) complete.
Love,
