A REASON TO COME BACK HOME

You can feel it, you can feel YOU bubbling underneath it all, wanting to pour back into all you were always meant to do...

You've started it,

You've had moments over the years,

You've already been there, touched it, done it,

The only thing you didn't do was stay consistent, you weren't consistent to the message you received, through the quiet whispers, nudges, knowings that are in you.

You weren't consistent in showing up to you, to hear you, to see what it was that was required of you. You allowed other things to get in the way, you allowed distractions to interrupt the most important things, you allowed yourself to be squeezed into a box that really wasn't you.

We've been doing that our whole lives, putting ourselves in a box, thinking it's who we need to be, what we should be doing and then we always find ourselves trying to pull ourselves out again and again, and every time you do, every time you get a glimpse of allowing yourself to be led by it all, when you begin to follow what you were meant to follow, exactly what you were always meant to follow, the art that is you, the art that comes through you. When you do that you feel free, you feel you can breathe, you know it's the only way...

Man why, why are we swayed? You think.

Why do you find yourself being pulled back into strategy, into 1,2,3, step by step scenarios for life. The one size fits all, when every time you do, it feels heavy, it feels off, it feels like it becomes an up hill battle, with yourself, with life and confusion starts to seep in, feeling like somethings just not sitting right.

You don't need to be told why...You know why, because you've come up against this time and time again. Living in a world, surrounded by so many who live by strategy, live by step by steps, live by how so many do it, this is why so often, many are feeling the same, because everyone is trying to walk the same - yet, you're not meant to walk completely the same, you have your own swag on.

How you do things, or wish to do things, may not make sense, they very rarely make sense to many, even to you at times, you also don't always have the answer or the words to put to it, you just feel it, you understand it, without truly understanding every step, but every time you follow the way you're being led, shit just works out for you. When you don't, it's all off. Things may still work, but like I said, it feels off.

I think back to all the times when I let myself be led by those nudges, whispers, when I let the art in me come through, when I moved in the direction that I was being pulled in, when I side stepped the way others told me I 'should' do it...each time it turned out, each time it was the right move.

Yet the times when I followed how I thought I should, how I was told I should, maybe how everyone else was doing so, when I let myself be convinced, pulled into the so called 'way', those times very rarely worked out for me and it really took me off track. Oh the trust that's involved, when many are looking at you sideways, I can see why it's so easy to fall into the trap, fear they may be right and you wrong, it takes a bit to hold yourself at times. But like I said the times I let myself be led by them, it all turned out just fine and the times I choose not to listen...well, yeah, lessons learnt...all part of it to gain a deeper trusting in yourself.

All those little moments led to something, all those little messages that no one else could hear but me, because it's a message meant only for me - I still remember hearing them to this very day, I still remember the moments I followed it, I still remember the sensations I felt in my body, and at times the emotions that rose with it - those moments are there to remind me to keep trusting in it all.

I see how easy it get's to be to know what to do, what's required of us, the action may not be easy, it may not be easy to do, what's required of you, but what is easy is hearing them, seeing them, feeling them, knowing them. That's the easy part. The rest can take some courage at times, other times can be easy and flowy and so damn straight forward, over thinking has no time to settle in.

Don't you want for more of that?

To hear, and to act. We know what this means....We already know so much of what's required of us. We all do, we all know exactly what's calling us forward every single day, we simply choose to follow it or not - we don't follow for many reasons, ha we always have a reason, excuse as to why, and I understand that, life isn't always that straight forward in terms of taking the action, the knowing is straight forward, the rest not so much, it's what challenges who we are in this moment, it challenges us to change, but it is doable, it's always doable.

You know what to do. You just need time and space to sit with you, to hear, to listen, to give time first to you, before you open yourself up to the world (others).

There is so much that can come through you if you allow yourself that time and space to sit and hear. If you don't, then everyone else seeps through you, that's when your own art (what's meant to come through you - your creations) what's for you, is tainted by the rest of the world, and your art is diluted down.

Your art (what you're meant to put your hand to - choose any area of life here) requires your own spark, your own life force and that can only be delivered or poured into you if you give time to it before anything else. The world is there to share so many things with you, inspiration, meaning, ideas, understanding, but for it to really hit you, land on you, to hear what you're meant to hear, and do what you're meant to do, time and space with you and only you is required. You don't have time not to.

Be open to being led by what comes through you.

Be open to hearing the turns you must take,

The actions you must put your hand to every single day.

Take all the thinking out of your mind, soften the hold and listen,

Let life pour through you,

For the love of creativity and the reason to come back home.

(The lyrics from 'Under the sun' by L.A.B - the reason to come back home...landed on me and this all poured from it)

Wishing you the best day.
