Saturday, July 16, 2016. Had a really good night's sleep. Very relaxing, healing, and meaningful.
Decided to walk down to the park and river, well rather park bench plucked down on the old paved parking lot just outside of the park but with a great view of the fast and free flowing Fraser River. I sat and relaxed as best as I could soaking up the welcoming morning air and great energy of Spirit and Nature...my mind becomes clear, relaxed and in tune with me, my natural state of being and all that I am and the greater whole of which I am a part.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Energy is the "Ten of Stones. Home: The traditional concept of home and family has evolved and change over the last few decades, but certain basic notions remain unchanged. In the traditional British family, where the father went to work and the mother stayed home to manage the house and the children, home was the place we always came back to, where stability and a well-founded set of traditions and social rules applied. It was both guarded and guided by love, respect and loyalty. As children, we see home as a place of security and caring. As young adults exploring the world, it can be wherever you lay your hat or guitar case. In later life, it may become your own heart's stronghold and sanctuary. For some, the concept of home is just that: an idea, a hope, a dream, not merely a shelter from the elements or an investment in bricks and plaster. For some, it truly is where love resides and is the final destination after a colourful or arduous life journey."
Interestingly enough the "Ten of Stones" last appeared on August 1st of last year, the day I picked up my new to me camper van, Serenity. And as the energy of the "Ten of Stones" worked its way through me, images and thoughts of my van filled my mind. Especially of parking her in the parking lot behind the bench I was sitting on this morning. But not before the idea of coming home as I travel the roads and highways of North America. The idea of home filled me with images of criss-crossing this continent, of fulfilling my nomadic and wandering tendencies, of being home in whatever part of nature I found myself camped in along my never-ending destination-less journey.
Home is being inspired and filled with the knowledge and wisdom of the land in each new place I visit. Where I stop a thousand times in a day as I glimpse for the first time a new natural wonder whether it be rolling hills, another mountain, a raging river, or trickling creek, or a calm serene lake, or a grove of trees, or simply a rock on the side of the road. Home is the sense of wonder and awe that fills me each time I get out and become a part of the natural world of which and where I belong.
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
A fairly relaxing day yesterday. Although, I made a couple of handcrafted cards and we finished our bathroom project by installing the large medicine cabinet. The day was pleasant and we made it over to the quay for a coffee before relaxing at home for the remainder of the day. Actually, I sorted through my craft bins and dug out cards to finish for Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas. Then it was dinner and a little TV before bed.
This morning I dug through my craft bins again to look for paint brushes I was certain I had before going out today to buy more. Lo and behold, I found them in an envelope, about five or six of them. One thing I found though is that the lighting I have for my craft table is too dark to see well enough the detailed lines within which to paint so a new brighter light is in order. I guess I need an Ott light.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XX Beyond Judgement: Self-acceptance must come before liberation. Freedom from others’ expectations. Trying to make conditions better for others. Altruism. Pride. Self-acceptance.”
It is time for me to once and for all truly forgive myself of my mistakes and poor decision and move past them. I’ve screwed up and will likely screw up again but I can no longer dwell on what is in the past and still affects me in the present. The time to move on and the time for renewal are now. I know deep down I’m an Rver and need to live a nomadic life however, I also need the financial means with which to do this and that leads to the need for a job, at least for now.
Although I can always throw caution to the wind and just go for it but that seems a bit too risky for me now although the idea is always popping into my mind these days. There might be something to it…meditation and spiritual time is needed to see myself through this thought and where I need to go.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Its official yesterday turned out to be the last day of work at Elections BC New Westminster save for a select few that need to remain until the office is emptied out today and tomorrow. Yesterday was a whirlwind of activity to get everything packed up and ready for shipping. At any one time 6-8 of us were running around the office doing one activity or another to get the work done for today. I think we finished around 4:30pm. With a touch of sadness yet a smile on our faces for what we accomplished over the past three months most of left the office with hints of tears in our eyes. Thank You Spirit for this wonderful opportunity.
Last night we picked up a visiting family member that has a conference in Victoria this weekend, had a late dinner that was scrumptious and ever so tasty, yum, yum! Then off to bed it was for all of us before the clock struck eleven. Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “7 of Coins: Chores. Resting after a job well done. Contemplating life's cycles and changes. Planning your next move. Clearing out what's unnecessary in your life to make way for something new."
Still much work to do and much information to gather before making decisions and moving forward but I’m will to do the work necessary to live my life my way. Not many accept such a life as the one I wish to live however, I need to forge ahead and dismay and possibly disappoint those closest to me but it must be done. I need to be self-employed as best as I can be and live the life a nomad, something I’ve been longing to do for well over 25 years.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I had another busy day at, could only squeeze in a ten minute lunch and was right back into helping people vote. This is one of my best work experiences I’ve had. A few hiccups here and there but what an overall great experience with just over a week to go before it’ll be all over.
I had to then get home and cleaned up before we headed out to meet friends for dinner and then a cruise. The cruise was nice but noisy as they brought in a DJ to entertain us with her music magic that she played way too loud. But the three hours was a little long for us as we are not the social butterflies as many people believe however we did survive with no problems. Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the” Guide of Cups: Messages from your heart. Altruism.”
Mine is an adventurous heart and at heart I am a nomad through and through. Traveling with no clear destination in mind is what makes me most happy. This is the message I received upon setting my eyes upon today’s Tarot Card; I need to travel and just travel with no particular goal or destination in mind. I must follow the road, the desire of my heart and be open to and learn from the new experiences that come my way. I feel like I’m on a quest, maybe a spiritual and humanistic quest to find the Holy Grail that is my life. I'm not sure where this idea of the "Holy Grail that is my life" came from but I'm leaving it here on this page as that is what blurted out of my fingers as they hit the keys and type, typed away...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
