A note on space

It’s okay to have plenty of it. To find the balance in it. The wiggle room. To play with it. When we need more or less. Even when it changes.

Space is funny, - how you can think of it can be changing.

If we let it grow to what we need, it can nourish us in profound ways.

Our resistance to giving ourselves the space we truly need, truly crave, can maybe be a result of fearing we’ll get lost.

But maybe it’s okay to be lost in the spaces we create.

We’re always rooted to something bigger.

I have always been a 'journal keeper' - when I cleared out everything I owned to become a nomad, there were many many half filled notebooks full of  thoughts and quotes... Guided writing and insights; eulogies written about my own death... Dreams, understandings.... Realisations, affirmations.... Processes, ideas....

Shedding these was a wrench, but now they are gone...

'Girlfriend for a year' (An excerpt here) started this way..... As a journal charting my year as a girlfriend, for me to reflect and grow from.

The book emerged when I saw it as a way to communicate what I have learned, and what I teach, and I saw that it might give others opportunities to go deeper in their own relating and relationships...
