Once upon a time, Blogs were created as online journals like a daily journal that you could type into rather than write into some big spiral bound notebook...or if you're like me, some Mole Skin notebook.
But with my recent separation of my advice blog and my poetry blog, I now wonder what Linda Land is all about.
The blog is supposed to be thoughts about this and that from someone who has thoughts about that and this, and that is where I'd like it to return.
So, today my thoughts are about my inner light
Where is it?
Where'd it go?
Is it really gone or is it merely a cloudy vision...clouded by others' opinions and perspectives? That feels like the right answer.
My inner light, my inner beauty is still alive despite what others think of me.....in fact, one of the smartest women I've ever met and who was a brilliant teacher/friend once told me, "It is none of my business what anyone else thinks about me." Thank you Anne Rainbow Sister Shepard Crary and also Joan Casey. Brilliant teachers in their own right.
And that message is important for me today.
I don't care what anyone thinks about me. My only obligation is to myself and what I think of myself first... From there, joy can emerge and life begin again.
Hospital stays do a real number on the brain. They are no place to heal.
That is true enough!
So, part of my healing process today from my recent hospital stay is to be true to myself first today and go with my flow and surrender to the beauty that lives inside of me.
And also, try to figure out how to set up this whole new microphone/stand/phantom power sound board thingy so I can hear my own voice. For real!
Sending you so much love,
All the way from
Downstairs,
Linda
