Answers with Imagination

"Our sanctuary was the outdoors, but over time, 

I lost that magic.  I stopped hearing the voices of 

a created world an instead heard voices of rules 

and lessons on how to be productive instead of 

imaginative.  I lost myself."

Kaitlin Curtis

Four ingredients sustain my alignment with the world:  journal, spiritual connection, body stretches, and creative expression.  Each one stands on its own, but when coupled with the others, I live a no fail cycle.  Inevitably, I find myself stuck in my own emotion, worldly drama or simply stagnant behaviors.  If we know what guides us, what is required for best performance? Why do we so easily lose sight of the perfect equation?

As stress rises and we are pulled even further off course, we do not rely on our energy to seek what will best nurture us.  How time consuming would it be to step barefooted onto Mother Earth and breathe slowly in and release on exhale ?   How costly would it be to stop at the neighborhood park to simply look at the leaves turning on the tree?  So, no time consumption and no costly fees; and, yet, we still resist.  We are overflowing with reasons not to tend to our lovely selves.

We yearn for answers to our questions, but seldom creatively open to wisdom.  We can shift our energy from singular focus on questions to be open to messages floating in the wind, babbling from a brook, or spontaneous warmth from the sun.   Please, the world needs original light from each of us, so we must not stay lost.  Seek answers with full imagination!
