My Christmas has been quiet and peaceful and gentle...
Like floating...
Our tree was white this year, with pink baubles...
Very Shabby chic (Much to my Lara's disgust as she is truly a traditionalist!)
And i filled the branches with all the beautiful Christmas cards that came our way...
Then the day before yesterday i had a compulsion to put together this journal page below...
i didn't understand it and i could find no words for it...
it was frustrating to me... But i let it Be...
Then yesterday i had a conversation with a family member
and the page became ~Alive~ with meaning...
Words of wisdom were shared and a place deep within me was reminded
of the journey and my part within it...
Then this morning another sharing was gifted me...
And although it had shades of the previous nights conversation
it was different and unlike the night before
i felt thrown onto a ships deck in a dark uncertain sea...
Unlike the turmoil in my mind...
the words were quiet, sacred and secrets were spoken and shared...
but as hard as i tried i lost some of the words in the roaring that filled my ears......
and all the certainty of the conversation that i had grasped with both hands the night before...
fell like sand between my fingers
i became unsure of the words that began to fall from my mouth...
The words that needed to be heard as part of my duty, my journey and purpose
and i was separated from my body as my ship tipped upside down in the waves
The journal page continues to reach out to me...
and my journey continues to teach me
But my Dearest One all i can feel is your Heartbeat...

the most sacred space is the unknowing.
clarity is a glimpse of wide wide Truth, but as soon as we try and grasp it, it disappears.
inbetween lies the unknowing that can never remain static.

Love what you have done Nolly. Reminds me of the key to someone's heart and lotus flowers although I am not sure why.
Sending my best wishes for 2011
Vicki.....my Christmas was quiet too.....but you were in my thoughts and prayers.
"Truth" is elusive....it is like quicksilver, dancing brightly before our eyes, then disappearing - only to be reborn and dance again.
We are all on this journey with you....
Love from San Francisco,

Nolly, Beautiful post. I love the collage. Sending love and hugs and wishes for a wonderful and healthy
New Year! xoxo
its 1/1/11 where you are, already.
I watched the fireworks this morning, they were beautiful from over the bridge. What was the significance of the hand.
Your journal page seems to be defined with hand upright and down under, downright upside down.
oh by the by, if you turn the journal page upside down. You have spelt the word lovely.
Such ~Beautiful~ comments that have touched my Heart and i send my ~Love~ to You for them xox
