Creative Reset, Day Eight: Magic Everywhere


Enamel on Copper, raw quartz crystal


It is everywhere -

beneath your feet
skyward
under that rock
toward the horizon in all directions-

the magic of nature, the wonder-full Source of All Things.
Call it God, call it The Universe, call it anything you like,
just call it.

On days when you're feeling parched, seek it out.
Take a walk.
Take a drive away from the city lights
and observe the majesty of a sunset in solitude
or with a soul who understands your aim.

Ditch your smart phone or your Facebook feed
and wander.
.

This week in my Reset I am moving from the brain to the feet and hands.

Exploring a few more concepts along the way, I am mainly reveling in to this beautiful
soil last week's digging unearthed.

A few key phrases and shames reared up through the writing and showed me the places I am most hurt, giving me room and grace to heal them. 

Today's Journal Assignment:

Take a walk
look high and look low for the unexpected treasures of your neighborhood
or the woods
or the countryside
and when you find them, do a little sketching
with words or shapes or songs,
offering proof of what touched you
and wonder at what filled your spirit.


May it be a magical day,
Sunny

P.S. - comments are open - if you've been resetting along with me, tell me how it's going!

There have been tears, triumphs. Letting go of breath I didn't realize I was holding. Permission for myself, and forgiveness too. Emotional exhaustion.
Fear and bravery.
Bravery and hope.

Thanks so much for starting this up, Allison.
