Greetings, Beautiful Spirits!
Normally, I reserve this space for more formal articles, but today I am guided to stray from the ordinary. I have noticed, lately, that change is in the air; not only are many people making changes in their lifestyle, either through eating better, exercising, nipping bad habits, or starting a new hobby, but there are major shifts going on, particularly with my fellow Lightworkers. Career changes, beginning a new (or ending an old) relationship, and, in some cases, moving from one home to another.
I, myself, am one such case. My family and I are working on a move, returning to our hometown to be close to family again. This decision is bittersweet for me, as I am in love with my house, and with all of the belongings and memories held within it. I have grown and learned a lot inside these four walls, and leaving it behind will not be easy for me. Alas, I must look at the big picture; home is where the heart is, and my heart and soul walk around outside of my physical body, in the form of four beautiful little girls. Wherever they are, you'll find my home.
During this experience, I've noticed how incredibly attached we sometimes become to material objects, and to the echoes of the past. In my situation, a lot of the things we own, we will be unable to carry with us into our future. Things like dressers, furniture and spare blankets. Not things one would normally consider especially significant, but for some reason, it saddens me to think that after I move, I won't be able to sink back into my favorite armchair with a hot cup of tea after tucking the kids into bed at night; when doing the dishes, I won't be able to peek out into the backyard to watch the birds bobbing across the lawn, looking for their dinner. And I think I know why this upsets me so...
As Divine Beings living the Human Experience here on Earth, the physical is forefront in our awareness. Because of that, we tend to cling to it, finding comfort in the things we know. I think that "Home" is easily confused with the "Familiar", and so it creates the illusion that our things create our home. Even though I can identify this, and accept it as Truth, I still feel uncomfortable with such a drastic change.
And so, my dear Friends, I wish to share with you the lesson I am currently learning; letting go, and knowing where my true Home is ~ with my gorgeous children, my amazing husband and my wonderful family. There is no material thing that could ever bring me more Joy, and with that understanding, I move forward with courage into the Infinite Possibilities of the Future.
Love and light!
Kath
