Journey of Souls

"The inner strength that comes to us in our daily lives does not arrive as much by a visual picture of actually seeing our guides as it does from the feelings and emotions that convince us we are not alone. People who listen and encourage their inner voice through quiet contemplation say they feel a personal connection with an energy beyond themselves that offers support and reassurance. If you prefer to call this internal guidance system "inspiration" or "intuition," that is fine because the system that aids us is an aspect of ourselves as well as higher powers."

"When asking for help from your higher spiritual power, I think it is best not to demand immediate change. Our success in life is predicated on planning, but we do have alternative paths to choose from to reach certain goals.

When seeking guidance, I suggest requesting help with just the next step in your life. When you do this, be prepared for unexpected possibilities.

Have the faith and humility to open yourself up to a variety of paths toward solutions."  ~ Michael Newton

I started this post yesterday, feeling somewhat inspired by aspects of this book, but was interrupted by an opportunity to document a performance at a festival today.

The wonder of manifesting paths toward solutions.

The synchronicities and ironies in this case are way deeper than I could possibly get into at the moment, so I'm just flowing past trying to remember that inspiration.

We finally made it to Indian Cave state park. Couldn't really see the cave through the foliage, but the park was refreshingly empty, and Squishy the trash panda made the day quite beautiful.

Apparently V is irrationally afraid of wasps. The insect, not the people. Maybe, also the people... for good reason.

....... and everyone is afraid of walking through spiderwebs, which I have just apparently gotten used to.

Let It Grow In Silence

"Maybe your garden isn't growing because every time a flower blooms, you cut it just to prove to someone that you're a gardener.

"...So maybe stop showing people the seeds. Stop pulling up the roots just to prove something's happening beneath the soil. Let it grow in silence. Let it bloom in its own time. Because a garden isn't built for an audience, it's built for the harvest."

~ thefallenpoet

The flowers are growing fine.

The roots are digging deeper.

The ecosystem is learning to balance.

The tree is thriving by learning to trim the branches that don't serve it.

Interesting people make boring places interesting.

I still don't feel the freedom here to be myself and my kind of interesting, so I am still fighting with reality and creative life. 

I'm not sure how to find our people, other than be the people we are searching for, but we feel like we aren't allowed to be our people, because Omaha.
