This was the view from our verandah on Saturday. The water you can see is the flooded river that was around four times its usual width. It has gone down now but the river bank has been stripped away. I am wondering how the wild animals are doing? There are a lot of birds around - so maybe the water has flushed the river?
I caught the end of a program with Deepak Chopra and Mike Myers discussing laugher and enlightenment. Interestingly, they said that 'enlightenment' was just that.... 'getting lighter'. Funny how something so simple can completely evade people! I had never considered the idea of 'getting lighter' being linked to spiritual learning and the process of development. I guess years of being Catholic and then years of being guilty about not being Catholic anymore have meant that I built up a whole lot of 'heaviness'... and struggled to find enlightenment.
Hmmm... working on that one!
In 2010, I stumbled upon The Divine Sisterhood and its divine creator, Ricci-Jane. Ricci-Jane is one of those people who's light is so bright and spirit so honest that she challenges my fear - just by being in the same room. I have to admit that I struggled to stay present because I found myself trying to hold onto all the 'stuff' (aka fear and loathing) that I've been building for so long. She's such a delight... and I wanted to share her blog.
