Wow …. I really like your blog hence my commenting (a month after the fact – chuckles). I am of the opinion based on personal experience that when there is something “The Universe” wants us to do, we are presented with many signs all over the show and I suspect that that is what you are experiencing. I have changed direction dramatically and regularly since 2005 and only now find myself being still for a moment and when I feel overwhelmed by all this new “emptiness”, I remember another favourite little mantra which goes: “in order to bring in the new, we must get rid of the old first”.

Eileen, I feel like I’m right there with you! We live in my husband’s family home, and I am constantly scraping away or throwing out old family “gunk,” be it debris, abandoned bedlinens, or outdated beliefs and behaviors. To the children, it will always be “Grandma’s House,” and I know it will never feel truly mine. But I am scraping too, my outdated beliefs and behaviors, so that my mind and heart are clean and have some empty spaces where my own family “gunk” used to be. The whole experience reminds me of Walden, where Thoreau talks about scraping old bricks for building, scraping life down to the very marrow to life fully and freely. Good stuff you have here. I’m really enjoying your thoughts!

Well, I'm enjoying your metaphors, so maybe that brings you some comfort. There is something positive about the Universe being clear with us about the work we're meant to be doing right now, isn't there? .-= Amber´s last blog ..Walk to Nowhere =-.
