What a wonderful theme of water that is flowing through the wellspring at present. I too was drawn to spend time close to beautiful water sources close to home. And like Mynda my experience challenged me to embrace the unexpected elements of change and in the process I was able to embody an important truth of what it is to honour the full cycle of life.
My morning started with an invitation from my baton passer to share in a cross continental simultaneous meditation session which was a wondrous way for me to tap into the vibration of love that connects us all.
Then, as I planned my day, I heard two rivers calling my name and inviting me to immerse myself in their beautiful embrace. The first one, the one closest to home is my special place where I often go to talk to GOD. (Which for me involves swimming naked - a very intimate lived experience of connecting back to my own experience of coming into life in the womb). However I arrived to discover that it was closed due to high bacterial levels - something that has happened a lot this summer :(.
So my reflections here involved presencing the disturbances on the planet that have left so many of our waterways polluted, depleted and compromised. Given I have been feeling very depleted myself recently I felt a deep empathy with the land that gave rise to this artpiece. Of the new possibilities born of a wound that needs healing as a part of the natural cycle of life, death and rebirth. Thankfully I had all of your love to draw on as I leaned into the discomfort. A ilttle duck also meandered past me as I prepared to leave, reminding me of the importance of staying present and being Ok with what is.
My next river was gushing with life after big rains and I was invigorated by the sensory sound bath of the birds, the wind and the waterfalls as well as the chill of the water on my skin. Life/love demonstrating another part of the cycle that brings what is needed for the system to come back into balance.
The greatest gift from my day as tender of the well was being received into this beautiful community at a time when I had been missing my tribe, and replenishing myself from the wellspring of life that is being so beautifully cared for here. Reminding me that it is a continual source of love & support that we can both give to and receive from as needed.


Oh Pam, what a wonder to feel so intimate with friends we have not met. We have met, though, through our feet that walk this same precious earth. Blessings, and love, Barbara
