making space

Sometimes it’s good to take stock of things and declutter; mind, body and soul. That’s what today is for.

Life has been an endless series of ups and downs lately, I’m pretty sure it always is. One moment I feel ecstatic and full of energy, the next depressed and stagnant. It’s ok though, I wouldn’t feel the good without the bad, and the craziness makes me feel alive sometimes.

“Depression is like a woman in black. If she turns up, don’t shoo her away. Invite her in, offer her a seat, treat her like a guest and listen to what she wants to say.”
― C.G. Jung

I’ve been trying to clean up and declutter my flat, it feels so full of energy, like it needs cleansed and regenerated. I know once it becomes emptier my mind will be more at ease. The mind tends to mimic its surroundings.

There’s a bunch of furniture here that I don’t want, there’s a room here that I never use cause it’s just full of stuff. It will make a good studio one day, once I get rid of a desk (though the cats been enjoying sleeping on it), a big bed and a chair, and get a big table I can sprawl various work all over.

I decided to try and have a relaxing week, not to drink too much before going to Estonia next week, see my family and friends but pretty much just chill n smoke weed. It will be a really busy week, we have been given a rough schedule but apparently most of it we don’t find out about til we get there/on the day. Which is super exciting for me because I love spontaneous living.

The new moon is coming, a time to release things, a time for death and rebirth. A time to set intentions for the month ahead, and I want mine to be healing and energising.

It’s the evening now and I had a nice afternoon, made some nourishing soup, sat in the garden and read in the sunshine.

Just got back from a walk to the shops, I got baked and wanted some munchies. There’s a really nice field with big trees and a nice view near mine so I went there and absorbed the sunset. There were dandelions everywhere and the purples are so vibrant today.

My poem today was written a wee while ago. I posted some of it on here before but as a long stream of thought. Since then I’ve decided of one poem out of it so far, edited it a wee bit (what a surprise!) and voila…
