A New Space

After leaving Palm Desert we are back in a park we have frequented many times over the last two and a half years of our full time RV life. The wild thing is, this is the first time I've been on this side of the park, which is the side next to a small stream. At this moment there is a white bird with skinny legs, and what look to be yellow feet, wading his way up the far side of the waterway. Geese, ducks, even swan have been parading across my little RV window in the last few hours.

And, I have to wonder, where have I been? Huddled like a creature of habit all this time in the back rows, just because it was a no brainer navigational accomplishment to drive straight ahead to the rear? One would think after the "accidentally driving through San Francisco initiation" early on in our RV travels, I would have been sufficiently confident in my 32 foot while towing a car RV driving abilities to make it through anything. But no....

I also have to wonder if this little shift in real estate has to do with the talk I gave this weekend at a women's conference via UCI's integrative medicine clinic. It was a talk on raw food, and I had been asked to give a very basic talk on the benefits of raw food on health. 'Don't mess with people's (animal) protein,' I was told. Don't bring in the environmental or ethical elements of food. Just the basics.

I wondered if it was in fact in integrity for me to leave so much of the important things out.....and after asking inside, got a strong yes to go ahead with the talk.....

It was shocking when I then found myself talking to this group about the spiritual opening that had occurred spontaneously many years ago and searching for a way of eating that supported that high energy awareness!! I honestly didn't have an intention of going there, and had really surrendered to the fact that a basic raw food talk was what would most benefit this particular group. But, what I later realized, is that the collective group had an intention all of it's own.

This was really the first time that I became so strongly aware of the power of the group to pull energy and information through me....not that it hadn't been happening. But, I hadn't been so totally aware of it in the moment. It was amazing, and liberating~ and it definitely was not huddling like a creature of habit at the back. It was full front and center. Holding nothing back. It was also a little like sitting on the edge of a small stream watching lovely birds parade on by....
