Travelling and Unravelling - FranceIreland 2010

Unravelling myself from all demands

Seems a daunting task

But I persevere

For it seems I need time to “just be”

And discover something new about me

I’m not sure why I must do this journey

All on my own

Will it become clearer as the days go by?

As the outer landscape keeps changing

I feel more and more at home in myself

Contained by the ancient gothic arches

I stretch and grow

Seeking a clear sign of a new direction

Content to be where I am

And realizing there is no need for perfection

Finding new companions to share the journey

I learn many lessons

Will they apply to me at all in the future?

It’s not necessary to know now

Just to reflect and listen to the profound silence

And consider the landscape.

And ponder how it came to be

So many questions, not enough answers

Only time will tell

A profound appreciation

For gathering around the hearth

And a need to spend more time at the well

The fountain of divine spirit and inspiration

Time spent well

Will allow for replenishment

And an awareness of how to be

much more present

I feel replete, stronger, strengthened

and assured

That I am going in the right direction

I feel profound gratitude

Cleansed, blessed and refreshed

And a strong sense of connection

To my Celtic ancestors

I just know I have a place to go

And time to get to really know

Where I have been!
