wilderness

[Guest guest]

Dear chrism and all,

 

When I spoke to last week he told me to go out into the wilderness at

least one time this week and walk on my bare feet.

I live about 30 mins from the sea shore. There had been a big storm out at sea

and the wind and the water landed with such force and beauty on the shore it

took my breath away. I walked on the sand and shingle and it was very special.

I realised that it has been a very very long time since I have been in the

wilderness on my own. It is occuring to me that perhaps I have avoided going

into the wilderness on my own, because in the past when I connected to the raw

beauty and power of creation, some sort of conflict arises in me... the beauty

and power and wonder of it for some reason causes a sadness to rise... there is

also a longing here but a longing for what i am not sure.

I am left with tears today and I know it is as a direct result of going to the

wilderness. I am not going to avoid the rising emotion.... I am going to

embrace it and so I will return tomorrow and connect again.

Love Julia

Julia:

I went to go view the photos I thought I recently uploaded and came upon yours

by " mistake " . The waters there are so mystical and magical. Oh, I remember how

lovely that sand feels under my feet. Now that is certainly a place my heart can

easily call " home " . Aaah, breathe it all in, dear one. So lovely.
