To me, traveling represents freedom and the ability to search out hidden mysteries on the journey. What is so amazing to me is that in real life my home is my castle. Not that I have attachments to things, but definitely an attachment to the security of a home. So perhaps I’m being called to break out of the cocoon I’ve created for myself; to stretch, expand and soar to higher heights.
When Adversity Strikes
A
few years ago at my absolute lowest point when everything and anything
could go wrong – and it did. It seemed I had emergency after emergency;
crisis after crisis and at the time I felt that I could not ask for
help…yet again. So when the water heater blew (that was after the AC
unit died and the cesspool backed up all over the lawn) I knew I had to
find a way to work with what I had.Reluctantly at first, I set about boiling water, washing my hair in the kitchen sink and taking sponge baths. I was really in the poor me's and resistant to this daily task until I read an article about a woman who had no water to her home and was walking two miles daily to the stream to collect a bucket of water that she would boil on an outside fire pit. Somewhere in America.
The ritual she described brought tears to my eyes, not because of the struggle she endured but how she was able to face this adversity. She didn’t view her situation as a hardship at all, but as a sacred journey and an adventure. A journey she looked forward to everyday as she made her way through the forest with her beloved pet by her side. She kept a diary of her experiences and escapades tromping through the forest; collecting wild berries, watching the critters in nature and leisurely bathing in the stream.
Enchantment Beckons
I
survived my experience for close to a month when my cousin, who
happened to have a plumbing business found out. Of course I was most
grateful for the assistance, but a part of me had grown to love this
bathing ritual and sacred journey that had come into my life.I would have to say that I’m very prepared to make my caravan dreams a reality and I find that enchantment beckons me forward to do just that! What of your dreams?
May inspiration fill your heart and hands, run down your legs and cause spontaneous dancing!
