When we loaded his pick up for another trip to Goodwill, he started sharing his feelings and observations of the changes going on within him. He is noticing the lightness in his home, and therefore in his thoughts. He is witnessing his world opening up to something new.
This is familiar to me, as I remember the tightness in my chest when I was surrounded by "stuff". I also remember the feeling of expansion when I got the courage to release. I was there. I was there once before. My friend's experience is similar to my own journey. The journey this 30-day writing exercise is about. It too started with "letting go".
What first came to mind was the HUGE 3 day yard sale I had, but it was actually before that. Before the letting go of a husband, which created the yard sale. In reflection, it was the letting go of an outgrown belief of what marriage is or should be, and that was 5 years ago.
In looking through my journals, capturing the right entries for my book, I am swept up into the emotional dense energies of years gone by. Though I was mindful to remain an observer, I was grateful for the appearance of my 4 year old niece knocking at the door. She rattled me awake from a life long ago and back into the beautiful spring time of today and her presence.
My how things change....when you first let go.
