Dance of Life

There was a lull yesterday at work, and I took the opportunity to sit outside the shop on the bench right out front, which was flooded in sunlight. It was like I'd stepped from one world into a completely different one. The incessant music that was playing inside faded away and the air was FULL of birdsong.

After work, Shawn was finishing a lawn again, and I went for a walk to Mackenzie beach. This time I didn't really want to escape from my thoughts, because they were my friends. Positive thoughts were making me so buoyant I just wanted to skip and sprint and sing. I was thinking about...myself, of course. Thoughts such as...all the awkwardness and painfulness I've gone through have built me into such a uniquely strong, sensitive, and much wiser person. Kind of like all of those experiences were the cocoon I was building around myself. Actually, exactly like that. My life was clearly laid out in front of me as one big journey, each part of it an essential part. I needed to go down deep and dark. It was just how I learned so many things. Things I've viewed as fallbacks were revealed to be my teachers. Such as impatience. I have learned wonderful things from that quality.

I always feel as though I'm blooming when the sun moves into Aries - it's the beginning of spring! And everyone benefits from it I think...it's that push to start things, the renewed energy after the hibernation for winter.
