Ive been offline abit recently with a couple of other projects sidelining my time. Ive also been sick alot one way or another this year with my son bringing home many opportunities for immune system building (his, not mine!) which has hindered my own practice goals somewhat. Anyway, as some of you know we are currently renovating a small stables and today on our morning site visit I picked up a bouquet of young lettuce from the dearest little secret garden that sits adjacent to it. We watched concrete being poured and gasped at the new light available in the living space now that a section of the upper floor has been removed. Yay Whilst weve been in the early stages of the stables reno the process has thrown up a few old things - horseshoes, an old frog door stop. Reminders of who it was. Metaphor is everywhere. Practice is like this. Sometimes it throws up things that have gone before. Its the memory of the body - the imprint on the cells. Learning to witness it all with objectivity and kindness is where Im at right now. Its like stepping back from and embracing something at the same time. And the stables are reminding me how this process actually works - step by step. Addressing the surprises along the way with care and consideration. Trusting the guides (cheers to you builder Bryan) and keeping a bigger perspective. Enjoy the sunny weekend if youre in Melbourne!
