Endings and endings-November 25 2012

So much is going on and I feel at such loose ends right now. My best friend and sister is moving across the country this week. I am not sure when I will see her again. I am so happy for her living out her dream yet, I feel such a loss. My newest friend Nancy at my placement is also moving away this week. We have become fast friends and soul sisters. She accepted a job in Alaska, so Friday is her last day. I will miss her so much, she has been someone that I really connected with but, I know she will help so many more people on her journey. My placement is coming to a close and I have begun the task of terminating my schooling and internship. I have 3 weeks left to go and have started the arduous task of job hunting and saying good-bye to the clients and staff that I have come to really feel are part of me. I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders right now and I honestly just want to do a turtle. Crawl inside and hide until things feel right in the world again. I'm just tired out by the past two years and well before that. Not a great way to feel before winter even begins. I trust that this too shall pass and I hear the whisper of "have faith" in my ear. One foot in front of the other.

Spirit of the Wind-November 15, 2012

So much is changing, so quickly. I have felt that I had to write again and it was time and like my brother in law the 7 minute artist, I am the 7 minute poet. When it comes it comes.

Spirit of the Wind

The wind it speaks to me

Sometimes I do not understand

I ask for answers

They come

Sometimes in a stinging realization

Often as a gentle awakening

Reminding me

That I am walking on this earth

With purpose

That my path

Will not always be clear and easy to see

 I must listen for guidance

With my heart and soul

My mind gets in the way

So I close my eyes

Feel the wind and listen

For my true purpose

The struggles that I must overcome

Confuse me..

Make me Question

For a moment

I feel the earth beneath me

Close my eyes

I spread my arms out wide

 I ask the wind

Point me in the direction I must go

The spirit of the wind embraces me and I realize

I have my answer

YouTube Drumming and Singing-November 9 2012

I had to do a video post about self care for our discussion board so here it is.

Also this week has been hectic. I had one day there were back to back intense sessions, so I have come to realize that I need to "close off" at the days end or I will not sleep well. Listening to Chakra clearing or Yoga Nidra seems to help. Here is awesome community event I'm at tomorrow.
