Dear Phoenix on the WEb,
What is it that I have come to say? I miss you. This is one way I try to reconnect with you. Yesterday while walking around downtown, I encountered a large brindled hound named Maizy. As I was greeting her, she leaped into my arms, front paws and giant torso. While at the time I felt immensely happy, I don't think the meaning registered right then. It was another experience of my body knowing what was happening before my mind did. Later I cried about how familiar that felt for a large brindled dog to jump into my arms! You, Phoenix, you. I miss you. And interestingly, this hound dog was a Plott hound (Beetle's people!) with your heavy brindle markings.
I am feeling discouraged. There are many things that are unsettled about another class beginning, about a space for our dances, some relations feel a bit uneasy and I'm having some physical pain with my ovary today which is causing me some concern/doubt. Just overall I feel low grade anxiety, like there is someone just around the corner ready to criticize me and what I should be doing or not doing. I know this is some of the 'old stuff' I am working to let go of my past. Trying to replace it with Trust. Trust amidst the anxiety. Trust flowing down from my heart to my ovary. What if I do it wrong? What if I do it right and it still doesn't make any difference to the outcome? What if something sudden happens and I don't have time to prepare? Am I being foolish?
Oh, Phoenix. Oh, Ovary. Oh, Goddess.
Reaching out/in to you.
Love,
Me
