You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state. ~Sharon GannonThe past few weeks have been quite hectic.
However, these past few days have been slow. I've had time to catch up on reading, do some chores,hang out, yoga with t., email, etc. It's feels good. Life is starting to get an sense of organicness to it.
I think we all have a organic space in our life that we must cultivate.As May Sarton called it, " a bedrock of truth," a place to stand(even if it's temporarily). You kinda have to dig for it sometimes, bring it to light and dust it off. I feel like I am being pruned for that. Or maybe this season of chaotic quietness is the foundation, the bedrock. My friend R. said I am being liberated. He may be onto something. I think everyday we make a wild rowing towards the person we want to be.
Regardless, I am moving towards, myself and an organic spaciousness. I've had to learn a lot about myself these past few years and I am still learning a lot. It is good to be surrounded by friends, to have some sort of routine and be opening to life. Everyday is an adventure. Everyday is a chance to practice living in my organic space.
hmmm... i'm definitely still discovering this part of me. i think it would be easier to live an organic, authentic life if i didn't try quite so hard to control everything. but it's hard to flow with life when so many things are up in the air. i'm sure i'll get there, i just have to be patient with myself.
ReplyDeletei love that beginning quote. so true. i def have been working on being in better connection with myself and honoring and listening to myself and my needs. my practice has helped me a lot with that.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing how we never stop learning. Growing. Playing with life. Learning what works and doesnt work. And giving ourselves space to make mistakes =)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing. I want to be you!
ReplyDeletea beautiful place to be. and you'll keep flowing to even greater heights. i know it. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I so want to get to this point in my life. And I so relish those days when the pace slows down so I can catch my breath.
ReplyDeleteLove your line 'make a wild rowing towards the person we want to be'. What a great thing to say when I wake up each day!
@Kimbirdy It most certainty is hard to go with the flow when things are up in the air. I think the goal is to do the best you can at any given moment.That is being organic..
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely still digging for that organic space. Lately, I just feel like everything in my life is moving at such a fast pace. I try to slow down but sometimes it's hard and I'm left feeling immensely overwhelmed. I really love what you said to Kim about doing the best you can at any moment. That's precisely what I aim for.
ReplyDeleteI love slow times and space. However, I don't get enough of either. I'm glad you found it.
ReplyDeleteI love the concept of creating my organic space. I need to breathe this in and make it happen.

ReplyDeleteKisses
LOVE this (and this in particular: "I think every day we make a wild rowing towards the person we want to be.")
ReplyDeleteI'd like to live and breathe in an organic space, too :) Great post, Keishua!
That sounds amazing. I want to be you!
ReplyDeleteFoods certified as organic must be produced
ReplyDeleteusing growing methods that minimize soil erosion and that maintain or enhance
the fertility of the soil. Organic meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products come
from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones, must be fed
organic feed and have access to the outdoors.
