Week 8 of the page a week looked like this:
And it must be the most colourful yet. It’s also the most full of subconscious tells – I’m only starting seeing now I look back from a few days later. Like the green mermaid/peacock – I didn’t draw her but she emerged from a funny little cross-leggedy figure and the phrase ‘move toward’ and some doodles.
I’ve got no idea at all what that means (yet).
There’s a lot of scribbly writing on this week, from an outpouring of encouraging words & phrases I was trying to sooth my brain with. You’ll catch glimpses of them here n there altho a lot are now buried under drawing.
She believed she could and she did.
Cos gosh darn it if that hasn’t been the case recently! And I’ve still riding that wave, so it goes down in the book as a marker of the time I’m in.
Move Toward. If I had a strategy for life, it would be that. As opposed to the alternates: running away from, or worse: sitting in stagnation. I’ve tried both of these approaches in the past. The results haven’t been so good.
Since I began this page-a-week game I’ve become aware how often the opportunity for another list of intentions comes up – it’s almost weekly!
Since forever it’s been a thing I do at the start of a month, and on a New Moon. The big ones are New Year (often I begin this at Winter Solstice), and there’s Chinese (Lunar) New Year which fell last week.
You see what I mean?
No wonder I’m so often listing the same things.
So for the record, here are my intentions for Year of the Goat/Sheep/Ram/Ovicaprid
- Raise my vibration – belong
- Use my time – spread my thoughts
- Make more – share more
- Love more – Read more – learn more
- Collaborate – Assimilate – Consolidate
- Stretch out – Drink in
- Sleep well – Eat well
- Trust the process
- Find my tribe – Share stories
These flooded out in a sorta stream of consciousness so I can’t offer much by way of explanation for them. More I hope will become apparent in the course of time. Hey – they’ve got a year to puzzle themselves into fruition!
