Patience

Patience, Sweet Darling.

Settle right in
     to what is here,
         now.
         Now.
     Here,   now.

     Hear now, the whispers of your heart, and follow them.
You will learn something, uncover something.

Follow the whispers of your body.
     They will show you how to be alive.

I am moving to Asheville, NC soon, very soon. And living in Bardo is what it feels like sometimes - in between one world and the next. Being here now is requiring patience. As excited as I am to leave, and as sad as I am to leave, I must be with it all, feel it all. Patience to be with the discomfort, to be with the unknown. Unknown of how I'm going to pay for it all. Discomfort of letting go. Letting go of lovers, friends, and clients. Letting go of furniture. Discomfort of driving across country with a cat in my lap. Wait, that actually sounds amusing... I think I'll be ok. As I cry, alone in my car full of stuff, grieving the end of a lifetime, on to something new. I've never done this before. I'm a Colorado native, been here my whole life. Packing up and moving across country... a new lifetime. I'll be ok. 

Patience, Dear One. Be with it all.
​You are capable. You are safe. You are held. 

Follow the whispers of your body,
They will show you how to live.
