My last day on earth was spent swimming
in the river at the bottom of our garden. Slurping fermented giggle
juice and keeping the vibrations high, we made sure that we’d go
out being shiny, happy people.
But, knowing the end of the world today
was simply starting another, allowed my family to relax into play,
open our hearts, mouths, eyes and ears and fall in love with the
summer solstice. Hangin’ out on the river bank giggling with the
little ones, had me rejoicing in the present moment. I’ve been
enjoying the elasticity of time these last few months and love to
stretch out days like spaghetti, playing with my three angels.
Looking towards the children usually sets my balance meter. You don’t
often see them getting their knickers in a twist because time’s
running out! What if time had come to an end today? Can you imagine
how crazed our systems would have become… Instead of just being,
cramming ripe plums, loquats and berries into stained pinkilicious
mouths, and paddling in cool clear waters, we’d have been
frantically doing something that wouldn’t have been half as much as
fun! Hunter S. Thompson wrote that ‘some days were two sizes too
small’. Not if you grab the life you want and relish in your
passions, loved ones and the present day in the way you wish to live
it.
Being aware that you are the light
shining within, makes it a whole heap easier to radiate out towards
others. And living your days doing the stuff that you love helps you
feel balanced, centered, happy and full-filled. I’m lovin’ these
warm sunny days, nestling up towards evening fires rolling inside
drums, impromptu picnics on the evening beach and busy market days
catching up with the community. Feasting on seasonal delights,
gorging on sunlight and raw chocolates gently spiced with the
flavours of a winter solstice, gives me the chance to dance in the
light of love, connecting with my far away family tucked away in the
depths of winter.
Today, an age fell away and another
stood proud and strong. A time for us all to stand up to the light
within and bathe ourselves in our birthright. To love and to be
loved. Happy awakenings to us all.
