A Short Reflection

Greetings!

The message that comes for me today is , "the art of being."
As I contemplated my week that began with three clients yesterday, then no clients scheduled for the rest of the week, I spoke aloud my intention to be available for clients or other activity.  And then the message came.  This is a time to practice the art of being.

As I felt into the energy of this day earlier, I felt myself as the desert sands, the dunes drifting with the shifting wind, just as I have felt this fluid movement in my life over the past few months.  But particularly this week.

We have little awareness or appreciation for the energy it takes to manage the energy of change, whether that change is within or without - or both.  But as the planet continues its birthing and we follow suit, we are learning, no matter whether it's comfortable.  So the art of being supports my renewal.  And my attention goes to whether I am pleased with the shape of my life.

We are learning to discern what shape we choose to give our days when not occupied with the usual or expected.
I'm reminded of the day I chose to leave a relationship because the partially disabled man I'd been dating stated with great anticipation how he looked forward to my taking care of him when we married.  He was a dear man, but my view going forward was to retrieve myself from my previous pattern of caretaking.  He said he understood.

If the shape of my life disappoints me I have only myself to consult, then to choose what serves me better.

I learn as I write, so thanks for being my collaborators!

With respect,
Phyl-EL
