What a lovely weekend I've had with my favorite mountain medicine women. When we gather, we seldom have a plan (except for food, of course!) and the weekend unfolds as it is supposed to. We've become so tuned in on this path, that we often make easy connections between what is going on for each of us and that unofficially becomes the theme of the retreat. This weekend was all about finding peace in the midst of the unknown.
I found in my journeywork that it is easy for me to spend time in the realm of seeking treasures underground-my mole medicine was very strong! My message was that I need to come up above ground and learn how to BE when there is pure chaos going on around me. I have pulled into my safe cave since giving birth over 2 years ago. I don't even have cable or watch TV, and most certainly don't read the newspaper. It isn't that I don't want to empathize with what is going on for people, or be involved with the world, I have just been using my energy differently to benefit myself and others.
I also feel like I am finally coming to peace with my job as a bodyworker. There are about 10 other jobs I would love to try, but right now, I love the job I have and it has been so good to my family and me. (I go to work to relax, as we say at the spa). The clientele I've built are the goodliest people I could ever wish to see each week. I think that I take what I have acheived for granted at times and just yearn for the next adventure. I'm trying hard to love what I am doing and what I have at the moment. That includes living in this town where only one day out of every five is a healthy air day! Hard to sit still in this, but I'm trying.
