Thinking Out Loud

Those of you who know me know how much I like to journal with symbols, images and colors to express and release emotions and energies.  A few days back I was feeling quite "fragile" and this is the page that appeared in my journal that day.  As always, the emotion passed as emotions are known to do, especially if we invite them in instead of resisting them. 

Sometimes I wonder if these invisible energies are moving through time and space, silently waiting for the next unsuspecting soul to stumble into their web.  My moments of fragility have passed for now but all around me I find other friends and family caught up in the same states of mind and body.  It reminds me of the energy of the planets and stars and the study of Astrology.  Energies swirling around in the heavens, having their way with we humans, whether we believe them to be real or not.  Laughing at our arrogance and naivete as we squirm and struggle, trying to resist their grasp and regain control of our lives.........

fascinating thought. energy clouds into which we stumble. hmm. the thing i like about it is the assurance it gives me that the mood will pass. xo

Awesome writing. Can I say that?

We can go from fragile to strong back to fragile again within minutes and each emotion takes on a singular importance as it comes but then fades into the background as it passes. I like the way that the red circles on your journal page resemble different facets of the moon but also, how some of them go from being a "C" and then back to a full "O" again somewhere else on the page. The "C"s represent control to me and then the "O"s remind me to remain open to what will come next whether I think I am in control or not.

I hope that you are feeling less fragile right now, but being vulnerable is part of what makes you such a beautiful human being.

If you want to talk soon, let me know:)

Love you,
