Listening and Healing

Well, it has been a rather busy autumn/beginning of winter! I've been posting at my lj for the past few months, and of course moving, unpacking, getting my shoulder operated on, and now am in the recovery phase. Ordered lots of books, which at least Carw Gwynt has been enjoying... I find my reading is still limited in duration. Most of my energy is directed toward healing, and writing up posts on the live journal. Well, that's okay -- that's my personal and educational journal, among other things. I find stuff or think of stuff that I want to share with others, to spread the knowledge. Sometimes I get to learn from others too, which is very cool. Journals are nice because people can take or leave whatever they like, and I'm good with that.

When I'm working on my PT, doing energy work, or just sitting looking out the window, at all times I appreciate where I am living. Snow, sun or rain, day or night, it's a wonderful place to be. In the winter, sleep covers the land at last, and the trees are at rest. You can feel the sleepy thoughts as you sit there, and even more when outdoors walking. It is not just the cold making me sleepy, but the slowed dream state of nature. And yet, there is still the work for spring happening, in small and nearly still ways; to sleep is not to do nothing.

Even as I write here, I am often distracted by the outdoors, by all that surrounds us here. So much to do, so much on my plate, but none of it can be done without the healing energy of rest. And so I pause to rest and listen to hear what lies beyond the walls of this house... it takes hours to put together nearly every post, but I've been pretty happy with most of them. And they're leading me toward another post I'll eventually put together, when I have the energy to do it.

I look forward to tomorrow, when it should be warm enough for me to be outside for a while without putting my healing at risk. I'm inclined to take a walk up the hill, above the double sugarhouse. I was seeking water last week and think I may have found a spot that's close to the surface, but I couldn't get to it then. Yes, still practicing for my spirals, just without much book reading right now. It's much the same with divination for me right now -- I read what I can, and I look out the windows, and listen. There is much to hear.
