We leave the mountains in a few days, moving back to the Raleigh area, a rental home with a huge fenced yard, time to be back amongst other humans.
No sadness or fear this go around. So surrendered, so ready, so willing. Relaxed and easy flow.
This body is mostly healed. Still deeper to go and that's okay. Because the surrender thing works well across the board.
The remote commuting job, so fun, easy, enjoyable, creative, super lucrative, will help us transition to whatever shows up next as fun and cashy means of support. And it's healing work, on a grand public health scale, which always stimulates passion and drive.
Five days before my house closed in Durham a year ago, this log cabin surrounded by a million trees showed up and was mine for some cash and a 4 hour drive to sign the lease. Now three App State students will show up to help me clean, move, and have a few laughs as we transport our Stuff to another square to live in and on.
The key to all of this is not to care so much about what other people think or feel. As an empath this has been an ongoing challenge. Trust in the process of Life has been essential. Staying focused on folks that are fun and openhearted has made it enjoyable.
Knowing that no matter where we are, gaia is also - rural, urban, suburban, she's always bringing greenery and furry and feathery love. And that the next landing pad is more of a trampoline that will bounce us to the next place.
Tennessee holler I will miss you. Your resilience and beauty in the face of the awfulness of man has shown me who my real tribe is. I love you. I love you. And I know you love me and I'm so grateful.
