Returning South

If there was a god, god would be change and change would be god.

I didn’t get much chance to blog on my short trip to Cumbria. We had a good time, caught up and did ‘Quaker type things’.

A lot is changing inside of me, hard to put words to it really. Confrontation is not easy, it takes it out of you.

I think I will book a ticket to see my friend in Wales. It will hurt being there post my first love smashing my heart to pieces, but crying is good for you, and confrontation brings growth.

I probably don’t have welsh blood, I decided my Cornish forebearers were hippies and liked the name Llewellyn (apparently it can be Cornish to??), and that is ok. It doesn’t need kind of matter you love who and what you love at the end of the day.

Song of the Sea Lisa Hannigan Lyrics

"Song Of The Sea"  [Gaelic:] Idir ann is idir as Idir thuaidh is idir theas Idir thiar is idir thoir Idir am is idir áit Casann sí dhom Amhrán na farraige Suaimhneach nó ciúin Ag cuardú go damanta Mo ghrá Idir gaoth is idir tonn Idir tuilleadh is idir gann Casann sí dhom Amhrán na Farraige Suaimhneach nó ciúin Ag cuardú go damanta Idir cósta, idir cléibh Idir mé is idir mé féin Tá mé i dtiúin  [English:] Between the here, between the now Between the north, between the south Between the west, between the east Between the time, between the place From the shell A song of the sea Neither quiet nor calm Searching for love again Mo ghrá (My love)  Between the winds, between the waves Between the sands, between the shore From the shell A song of the sea Neither quiet nor calm Searching for love again Between the stones, between the storm Between belief, between the sea Tá mé i dtiúin (I am in tune)

Loss: Advices and Queries

Some situations which cause pain or suffering are avoidable, so part of our learning must be to analyse the situation and see if this is such a case. If it is, we must try to prevent it happening again. But perhaps the most painful situations are those that are apparently beyond our control. Another part of our learning is to recognise that there is unfairness, uncertainty, fear, loneliness and hurt in this world; learning to accept that this is the nature of the world can, of itself, be painful. Initially we may be able to do little, bound up in an acute, self-centred pain. As we try to cope with the anger, the pain and grief that come through some unhappy experience, we can learn a lot about the less-well-articulated, darker sides of our personality. These darker aspects should not be ignored. Although we tend to equate evil with darkness, we should remember that in the plant world roots grow in the dark. Darkness (and shadows) are as much a part of the natural order as light. ...

Stuck on the Artist's Way

It is Sunday. I am going over some courses, some past YALP hand outs, some processing of pain and loss. I added my two pence on the moodle course discussion. I have lost that sense of centred silence, but I am meditating in the Buddhist tradition again. I have calmed down, after the anger comes the sadness and wishing things had been different. I decided to work on finding a place of non judgement for all the painful things that have recently happened to me. It is going to take a lot of work. I am now waiting for it to pass, for the heart to heal. It is a waiting game. To come to terms, to come to acceptance that this is how things are now. A part of me was shocked into realising that of course I could be hurt and heart broken all over again. of course I could be horribly mangled by love all over again. It is sad, but I will be in love, and I will be heart broken time and time again, there is no escape from this cycle, though perhaps some people will hurt us more than others. ...
