A time to be quiet

It has been almost three months since I last posted here. For good reason. I just did not have anything to say. This is my authentic space. The place where I have no inclination to do anything but me-whatever shape or shade that takes on, but sometimes, it is best to be quiet.

I have much to say but I am not ready to say it.

I will in my own time.

Much love to you for visiting and keeping a vigil.

Peace, love, joy and infinite blessings on your path.

Namaste.

A time for everything under the sun

I know I have been missing in action for the last two months... it seems as if I have gone home and found myself in the company of those close to me and deserted you who listened to my diatribe during the times when no one was close. It isn't so.

I have had a lot to do over those two months... and a hell of a lot of people see... people who's presence and prayers have been my sustenance. And respect was due. Plus, I am nothing without those who anchor me and make requests to God on my behalf.

I also have had a lot to really think about. I lost my balance and I have had to try and find my centre and get grounded.

I have an unchartered leg in my journey ahead of me and I have been forced to be quiet and contemplative in the midst of much noise and distraction. Nothing is perfect, we were never promised beds of roses, but for as long as we have breath, we have the power to make the bed however we feel, with awareness that we have to lie in it, no matter how we decide to do it. Every decision has it's pros and cons. Everything has good and bad. And often times, when good is about to be released in your life, there are storms along the way. The curses are part and parcel of the blessings because it is through them that we learn to recognize all that is good.

It has been a struggle. I haven't been all zen. In fact, many times when I ought to have been, I have been everything but. Even so, I am grateful. My gratitude is for breath...the greatest mercy ever bestowed on man.

Anyway, I am in NYC now. Will keep you posted.

Sorry for the lack of pics. I will post once I get settled.

Blessings all around.

Defining Quietude

I have been very quiet over the past two months and all within good reason.

I have been trying to get in touch with myself.

There's lots I want to say but I don't have the means to say it.

Maybe I should stick to blogging all things political and lay off the personal discovery bit. But that wouldn't be me would it? I am not polarised in my thoughts. After all I believe that all writing, including fiction is autobiographical.

My professional life is going splendidly. New job is extremely promising. In fact, for the very first time in my life, I feel "at home" on a job. I feel like I can stay there and grow there, and I really respect and like the people I work with.

The business I had started is doing well (even though I am not actively involved) because I have put people in to manage it and to work the day to day.

My personal life.... that's a whole story which I dont have the time or wherewithal to explore this morning.
