Well, Dayle, you did it again, my friend. The knot of struggle in my solar plexus -- I can relax and release it again. When I can do that, all possibilities flow. The practice is to trust the gentle urgings that ensue and actually get up and do. I have to take it slow and easy at first -- my urgings tend to reflect how I know I can be (particularly physically) rather than how I am at the moment. Feeling the urge to dance or go hiking is wonderful, but I can really only manage posture exercises and short walks. It's easy to get discouraged, especially as I get tired. Which only means that my focus is on the wrong thing, on the end result of the urge itself. My focus right now needs to be on the feeling of the urge, allowing it, and then the getting up and beginning to follow it. How long the following lasts each time, what I actually accomplish, is not important at all right now.
Thanks for the talk, it's priceless.
A gypsy in the making,
Nancy
