Creating Space.

"Space, the final frontier…" 

WAIT!!!! Wait! 

Nope, not that kind of space.

Opening up.  That can seem scary as hell!

The world keeps turning.  Days come and go.  Weeks turn into months; turn into years.  And I hit another milestone - 2 1/2 years.  It’s been a ride.  And not the Scream Machine/Mindbender ride that I was on for so much of my past.  It’s been a ride with less up-and-downs, more forward motion and more time to truly reflect and resonate on who I am and what I truly want to be. 

And one of the things that has been “sitting in my craw’ a little bit, just waiting for me to take some time with is how to create space for others.  Time for them in my life.  Oh, I’ve got time.  My days are quite simple right now.  It’s been a journey of taking care of me and the rhythms that I need to stay in a healthy, sane, sober life.  And it’s also learning how to open up and to let others in. Slowly.  Shifting my paradigm around to allow for some of my time and space to be given to someone, others.  And to do it healthily and in ways that edify my path and hopefully share a little joy and light with those who join me along the way.

Means trusting.  One step at a time.

It means accepting that it will hurt to grow.  Again.  But this way more like the flower that opens up after so much time preparing, rooting down, drawing up as a stem or vine.  Getting ready to show the world the beauty, the color, the uniqueness that’s been laying dormant.

Or maybe it’s just opening up to those who are special enough to recognize the powerful moment that is about to transpire.

Making space.  

To bloom.
