I was out walking in the woods this evening and I came to this place where there is a lot of flow and confluence. I received a message from my home planet. It said ‘It's okay to be as soft and strange as you are.’ Or this was my interpretation of what I received in words. At the time I just made a lot of sounds, the sounds I think a human being makes when they are homesick. Our home planet is calling us home all the time. Calling us back to our inherent goodness. Our love of colour, water, growing things, soft skin, music, movement. My friend also said we are all walking each other home and I think that is also true. We are all walking each other home through confusing illusion of separation. Reflecting to each other our oneness and belonging in a myriad of complex ways.
There’s a real temptation to think that some one is outside or something can keep you outside and that really is the feeling at times but that’s not reality. Reality is we are all here together unfolding in the soft, strangeness of transient matter until we unfold again into the wider field beyond the body mind. Whenever I sit in nature I am reminded of this. I can be unfolded and be with what is unfolding. And when I do that every moment is alive, simple and miraculous. I don’t need to understand to be with and belong. I only need to allow life to move through me and witness what unfolds in response. So much of my work lately is softening, bringing breath to any stuckness or tightness, allowing myself to be curious about the hard edges and open more to life energy trying to move even when that feels threatening or unbearable.
Thank you for reading and watching and being here on this walk home.
Love, Alex
