When Timelines Diverge
Images and Music for you

Dear Friends,
tending my nervous system, laying in my tiny back garden watching whispering gum trees play in shifting light and listening to the palm tree and tiger grass shush in the breeze, is anchor, harbour and medicine right now. Along with the abundant bird species in their joy, and my beloved blind cat.
In 1981 (last century), when I had recently turned 21, and just before marrying my ex-husband, I insisted on an agreement; we could walk a path together, but (and), if ever there came a time when one of us (or both) were destroying the other (or the relational field), our paths would diverge.
It turns out there are many diverges ~
many pit stops . . .
And now.
Without writing the complexity, the anxiety (always my question is “what am I really feeling underneath this experience”), the pathways of disentangle, I will simply say this;
I feel the dissolving and complete movement of one ‘timeline’ to another.
Of an ancient Soul contract, agreement and knowing within myself coming into its ‘About Time!’ form.
Flowing away from a societal architecture which has caused so many Ones harm; into . . .
that which I know
which I am. And have always been.As real.
As sentience interwoven ~
As joy.
As are you . . .
There is grief.
There is a sense of liberation.
There is careful awareness.
There is a great deal of rest.
There is tiny yoga and ‘dance’.
There is clearing of energy in my body.
There is deliberate nutrition.
There is listening to music.
There is reading.
There are legal pathways being way-found
and there is housing to locate.
There is the support of beloved Practitioners.
And, there is the quiet laying aside of my work at this time.
A 65 year old human, with complex trauma and other multiple significant health conditions, can only do so much.
Which does not mean that my work has fallen by the wayside.
It has not:
My work is everything.
But the forms are in review; sail plans re-written.
So that Photography Course, which I so wanted to invite you to and join you in, will need to emerge later. It is 2/3 written.
And Hall 2 - I Am Estuary - is currently at low tide . . .
Recently I spoke with the Co-Founder and Director of Education and Impact of Great Southern Reef, Stefan Andrews. An exciting and hope filled conversation.
And there are other conversations . . .
Stay tuned.
In the meantime, please enjoy some recent images here, made with love from the lagoons on Quandamooka country, from the country of my body to yours.
Oh, and two playlists of music that nourishes me (note, I don’t love Spotify, I purchase my music on iTunes, though I do use Spotify to share the tracks here with you xo).
REQUEST:
If anyone here, knows of a coastal place to live - temporary or otherwise, perhaps through a friend, or perhaps via a housesit (I do have a housesit history), please reach out to me; I will need a place to live soon. My funds are very small. Any ideas and thoughts are welcome. If you can support me in any way with this passage please do reach out to me.
With gratitude and appreciation . . .
