Yes, I have disappeared from here for a bit. I'm tending my terminally ill companion and moving through some other changes.

I expect to be back here in winter or spring. See you then. Be well.

@nature_raised @MarcellaCreates From MarcellaCreates: No need to apologize. I didn’t meant to be creepy or however you saw my invitation to Bluesky. Not sure why you blocked my other account after your appreciative reply & DM. I’ve enjoyed your photos for quite some time and we’ve had nice interactions. Be well

being honest with yourself is how you open doors behind your mind that are locked, honoring your nervous system when it alerts your intuition, lowering the volume on ego so you can hear the truth more clearly, finding growth and emancipation in the uncomfortable.

[TheInwardQuery™ : reflect to understand yourself @TheInwardQuery]

Yes!

In other traditions, sometimes referred to as grounding and/or centering.

[Gary Snyder @GarySnyderQuote]

In this world of onrushing events the act of meditation - even just a “one-breath” meditation - straightening the back, clearing the mind for a moment - is a refreshing island in the stream.

even time can’t change anyone if they aren’t willing to put the work in themselves.

"Life is a journey of self."

Yes!

[Koori Brotha @mrngunnawal]

Hello and good morning from the beautiful lands of the Ngunnawal people. Dream strong and walk with the beautiful sounds of Mother Earth. Listen carefully and enjoy the moments that send you messages. Take them with your heart and breathe with them. Life is a journey of self ❤️❤️

"follow what calls..."

[christine morro @beautywbrainn]

In the stillness I witnessed as deer slipped into these waters, crossing effortlessly. where awe drew me from ordinary to wondrous.
follow what calls, the thread that leads you deeper into the world.

Happy New Year. 💚
Most progress I have achieved in life started with meeting myself exactly where I was, with accepting my limits and looking on my past choices with kindness.
It is difficult to build when we spend energy mourning our materials.
First, love this version of you.

[TheInwardQuery™ : reflect to understand yourself @TheInwardQuery]

@WonderOfBeing And those "failures" of yours? They're not failures at all. They are you being human, figuring out life.

standing still listening...the faint rustle of leaves could be rain, or the doorway into the deeper present

@lamiblunt @iambrillyant Thank you for this reminder.

[TheInwardQuery™ : reflect to understand yourself @TheInwardQuery]

@nate_postlethwt Can attest. It can be painful but the process and results are well worth it.

Also when your body says something is good for you. Same language. So subtle.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

when your body tells you someone or something isn’t good for you, create the space to listen. trust the vibrations, the lingering feelings, the inexplicable hesitance, trust the way your intuition is trying to find a language that makes sense to your nervous system.

[S.A. Franco @sylviafranco]

Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.
~Franz Kafka

It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes makes its way to the surface.

identifying the pattern is awareness, choosing not to repeat the cycle is growth.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

there is nothing graceful about healing. you will stumble more often than not before you find your feet, lose a sense of the music before you find a beat you resonate with again, and fall short of your own expectations at times, but no one said this dance would be easy to learn.

[h @ItsAPerfectLife]

i've been through quietness, all kinds. there's this quietness that's so full of thoughts, it almost breaks you and then there's this quietness that makes you feel everything deeply, so much that your eyes well up and your heart sings happy songs
