Gratitude

Today was one of those days where I remember why I follow the clues that present themselves to me and know that there is a reason and hidden opportunity presented in every experience. I feel very grateful to the people who are my constant mirror, who reflect both my light and my dark, my happilly realised self as well as my unresolved self. Over the last week I have had some challenging experiences including my bed bug saga that have been the catalyst in pushing me back into myself long enough for me to reconnect. Today walking alone still floating from yesterday's efforts I remembered how much of a loner I really am at heart and how much I need times of quite to hear my self, my inner voice that is very light and soft but integral to my function and happiness. I need very much the company of people and the sharing and connecting we give each other, however finding that balance between time spent with my relationship with myself and with people I care for is not always an easy equation for me. Today i walked in silence at times and at other times I put ear phones in and played music to keep my mind busy while I literally dropped down into myself and chatted away with that illusive inner voice. All the while marvelling at the clarity, the confirmations and answers of prior questioning and idears that pop in and out of my mind while I'm not in my head blocking the path of these gifts of Spirit.
Ok, enough of my rambling for one day.
