You Know that You 'Know' - It's Written in Your DNA

I have been taking a mental break for a few days…at least that’s what I think it was! Perhaps I just stood back a little from everything in order to gain a new perspective…either way I have not written down a single word in about 3 days.

That’s my new record! LOL

But, I am back and ready to talk again about this crazy world we all call home. One of the few pleasures in life is to be able to speak freely about the things that really matter to us and which are on our minds.

Of course the way things are right now and this current environment of fear (has it really ever been different?) has us all clammed up pretty tightly. I honestly don’t think anyone says what they mean or mean what they say.

And that brings me right back to where I started from….the point of talking, writing and perhaps even being here is to walk, live, act, work and BE – as if we mean it. Part of that would entail speaking up about things that are important to us.

So many wrongs are done around the planet each and every second of the day – we have mostly turned a blind eye to it. Perhaps thinking – sure, what can I do about it? And for the most part we are right…unless…

We pluck up the courage to just say one thing each day, or to act differently just once in a while – deliberately drawing attention to a situation, relationship, area of our lives where we see something clearly, is not right.

If I was to start with anything in my own personal scope of life, I might say --- don’t think for one minute there is anything that you don’t know…about the world, life, the Universe around us, how to look after ourselves in this place.

And what is to come….

All of this, knowledge, information, ancient wisdom resides inside – twisted away within our genetic fingerprint. Our DNA contains infinite and ample directions or guidelines on everything we need to live fully on this planet.

And our survival during adverse, toxic conditions.

What we need to do is align with nature…after all, the energy of the earth is our own…

I wouldn't have wanted to miss this....A Time To Heal

And another day without rain…this is lovely and welcome! We’ve had enough ‘weather’ to last a lifetime and perhaps for some of us – those who have been going through this recession/depression – we’ve just all had enough!

I have met a few people however who tell me the recession hasn’t touched them. At all. And the first thing I feel is, well, sorry that their life is recession proof because this has been a learning curve (and a curse!) that I would not have wanted to miss.

When I look back over these last few years of great difficulty, hardship and incredible change – I also see such an opportunity for building solid relationships with our selves as well as our partners and families.

But what is more, is how resourcefulness has come back into it’s own season. At one time, long ago, nearly everyone lived their lives knowing many skills, having their hands in a little bit of everything…

And relying on their own knowledge (some of which was passed down through the ages) to see them through challenges and yes, the most fundamental life skills of feeding and healing themselves.

This has been a time of coming back into our own, re-membering all that we are and the many things we can do – starting with where we are and what we’ve got. What ever way you look at it, even if we are sitting on the bottom looking up – at least we are on the ground and all of life comes from this place.

Perhaps we have had to find ourselves here first – before real, true healing and forward movement could take place. There is something to be said for hitting the bottom, being up against the wall of any place we may find ourselves….

However it is always a starting point.
