Aspirations

Entering

Whoever you may be, step into evening.

Step out of the room where everything is known.

Whoever you are, 

Your house is the last before the far-off.  

With your eyes, which are almost too tired

to free themselves from the familiar, 

You slowly take one black tree

and set it against the sky: slender, alone

And you have made a world.

It is big

and like a word, still ripening in silence.

And though your mind would fabricate it's meaning, 

Your eyes tenderly let go of what they see.

--Rainer Maria Rilke

"A Year With Rilke"

My dreams/aspirations this year include writing.  Writing as a habit, everyday. Writing as an occupation. My dreams include writing, but not necessarily publishing. I see myself spending 2+ hours a day putting on paper what is inside of me.  In particular, I am thinking about my own story, but perhaps I will surprise myself.

My dreams are also about recovering more of who I am through hypnosis and past life regression . To understand and perhaps remove obstacles from my path that have been there for a long time, or lifetimes,  and have been resistant to all of the other work I have already done. 

Of course my dreams this year include health and happiness.

My dreams also include becoming closer to my daughters by letting them go. Not really sure what that means entirely.

Don't hold back your energy, your creativity, your psyche to save yourself in the event the one thing happens that you think you have been waiting for.

Live now. Even if you don't have all the answers and you aren't perfect. Your Authentic Self has not abandoned you.  She is there waiting to shine.  In all circumstances.

Turn away from the world and listen to your Loving Compassionate One that is perhaps very deep inside.  The one who loves you and wants every good thing for you.
