The next week back from the desert has been a hard adjustment. I think the first few days back I was just jet lagged and getting back into the LA spin of things whereas this week has felt extremely raw. I feel my heart really opened in a massive way in the desert, expanded and now the result is that I feel things in a big way. In a flashy neon bright lighted way. I have felt acutely this week and which led to me last night starting to think perhaps I need to stay in for awhile longer and not be so open, so raw, so reactive with the world. I need to sit a little longer I feel and not make any sudden moves. I’m a little volatile perhaps right now for the world at large. I’ve never really experienced this before but maybe its a result of having seen such extreme suffering and anxiety. Perhaps one tends to live ones life in a middle of the range of emotional type place and if one bears witness to the more extreme sides of life it affects you in an extreme way.<\/p>\n
The week ends with an Amnesty Conference which was brilliant, inspiring and expansive. I have rallied, started a chapter in LA with another woman who was looking to begin one, signed up for training to be a trainer with Amnesty and been asked to speak about the FISahara to the Pasadena chapter in January. So it feels like I can throw my extreme energy towards something good and light this week instead of being drawn into bumps in the road in my life which I somehow magnified.<\/p>\n
So here’s to a softer, more gentle coming few days…with a little more breath and pause for thought than a big marching brash marching band type rhythm which has beaten out my foot steps these past few days.<\/p>\n
