A Winter Morning, Gentle Love
No-one told me snow fell so silently, brought silence with it, coated everything in silence, left silence in its wake. The silence allows space for the One, the I to observe, unobstructed by the surface chattering of ego self. All that is left is this gentle love, this silent and slightly amused awareness. Nice:)
Here I am mere days away from my next adventure! Last night I made myself a test batch of raw energy bars, using Brandon Brazier’s recipe from his book the Thrive Diet as a guideline and then adding my own stuff to it (hemp seeds, maca, sultanas). Had to use my blender as a food processor which is always interesting, because too fast and you’ve got baby food. Suffice to say…they turned out AMAZING, yay!Now I only have to make another seventy of them and I’ll be all good to go, hehe.
I have a black garbage bag full of clothes, shoes and items I’m letting go of. I’m streamlining my possessions. Discarding layers of material baggage, allowing myself to be light and flexible again. This is what it means to float, to drift like a seed on the wind, floating in trust until the time is right to settle in the Earth and let roots discover life beneath the surface.
So Nathan, what are you doing with your life?
Being



So what things have you decided to keep? I’m dreaming of packing a backpack of essential things and hopping on a bus/plane/train! What’s it like to purge extra stuff? Was it as ‘freeing’ as they say?
Thanks for getting in touch Merri! It’s an interesting process and I think it’s going to take some time to get down to the bare basics. Selling my laptop will be a big one, which I anticipate gladly!
As we speak my room is strewn with items waiting to be decided upon: do you go or do you stay?
Keeping things like two pairs of trousers which can zip off at the knees to become shorts…save a lot of space! Keeping my ipod. Keeping a book or two. In time I’m sure I’ll whittle it down to exactly what I need and nothing more. Yes, it is feeling liberating…scary too, but more exciting! To be light again!
Sorry for the essay, hehe
inJOY
