In love with life this morning getting to witness the immense beauty of nature
Years ago when I had much to learn and unlearn to bring empowered healing ~ awakening ~ harmonising of my body mind soul emotional journey ahead of me. ( ever evolving and expanding of course ! ! ! )
It would often wow my mind when we were out on nature walks and travel adventures to new destinations, how Steve would prioritise the time to pause and take some incredible beautiful pics of flowers, plants and sometimes little animals creatures he spotted ( especially in western / northern OZ & Asia ).
Back then I seem to always be in too much of a rush to be so sentimental or so I thought in my own limited arrogance and unease ( Unhealness ). I still did not know how to be still enough in my mind and ok with my feelings / emotional body to pause long enough to simply BE still and allow myself to really see the immensely of the natural beauty around me even in the simplicity of of one flower petal or leaf. ( in the pre learning to meditate times ).
My mind at that time seem to always have goals ( that carrot on the end of the stick analogy ) to reach in order to feel some kind of relief and a permission slip to chillax without guilt or shame through those achievements of the day and getting those mental Boxes ticked off !

My body often felt like it had an invisible hand on my back to do more and be more ( that old catholic upbringing again I’m afraid “ never good enough and never getting there, unworthy “ plus my fathers voice “ your no good for nothing “ if I was not working hard and being serious enough about my suffering and woes just as he believed in ).
So this all meant I never felt like I had the time, know how or freedom to take those leisurely timeless ( without pressure ) kind of pauses to stop and smell the roses. I was far too preoccupied and busy trying subconsciously to make up for my sins and inadequacy aka for being born a subhuman or so I was lead to believe. ( since then I took myself off the lead .. thank GOD )
Now while Steve seems far more interested in taking biking pics with a epic nature background. I am far more interested in the surrounding nature big and small. I especially am intrigued these days by the little details of flowers and plants. They and the natural world mesmerise and delight my heart and soul in ways I never imagined they could. When I commune with them I know what it feels like to be a God child of the universe.
Being immersed in the natural world even for just a few moments can fill me with awe and beauty that surpasses and supersedes most other things in life.
Don’t get me wrong Steve still has an amazing eye for taking nature pics, the only trouble is getting him off the saddle of his bike to take them especially on those bigger races .

Life is awaiting us to say yes to it !
I AM ENOUGH

Just like a flower I AM true magnificence seeing through the eyes & feeling heart of unconditional LOVE and truth.
And so it is.
Amen from the Mojo liv’n ~ lov’n church of I AM.
Enjoy a blessed day.
Thank you natural world.
