Transformation is a process – and we need to be patient in the transitions – I have found that to especially true about the midlife transition. I like the word transition – but I don’t always like the feeling!
I love dragonflies and so, I’ve done a lot of research on them and have learned a lot of lessons.
In one of the sites I researched, it said that “People with dragonfly medicine are dreamers. They can be perplexing and annoying to others. The dragonfly person may appear almost schizophrenic as he or she rests (or hovers), absorbing light and energy for a time, and then flits off to a new project. As individuals, dragonflies have lots of nervous energy. Intermittently it is good for them to land and get grounded for a while.”
OHMYGOD is that me – one of the most challenging thing in my life – and perhaps in yours is the constant question – Are we there yet? I ask it about the goals I’ve set, about a project I might be working on or even when I’m visualizing something I want in my life that just hasn’t seemed to arrive yet.
(I think I came to this life to learn patience – the ARE WE THERE YET mentality often keeps me from missing what is – and thinking that something is still missing in my life. Of course, back to lesson one – if I think it is missing, it remains missing!
I remember my novice mistress – (yes, I spent 16 years of my life as a Roman Catholic nun – and that’s still another story) – anyway – she once told me that she saw my life as a brilliant tapestry that I was weaving – but, my problem was that I was constantly turning over the tapestry to see if it was finished yet.
Learn with me today that life is not about getting it done.
In fact, what I understand as God, or universal energy is the energy of CREATION that is CONSTANTLY creating anew. Once we get one goal achieved, another almost automatically pops up – it’s our nature to continue to create. When you stop having things still unfinished, you stop living. It’s all about completely being in the experience of the PROCESS. Sometimes that process can be scary because we have to leave the known to go to the unknown.
Sounds like me! …. Jim says I am “f..king GOOFY!” He’s not thrilled to live with a “crazy person”… I’m just very spontaneous, and flit from 1 thing to the next, more excited about each thing I land on, ’til I fall exhausted into a happy dream sleep.
I’m going to put on my mirror… “When you stop having things still unfinished, you stop living.” Thanks!
Looking fwd to the video conference!
