From the Heart
We don’t all grow in the best soil. At times it is harder to put down roots, sometimes we might be barely holding on but we pull on our resilience and make the best of what we have. To survive and flourish in such environments shows a determination hard to match.

I want to walk out to the shoreline,
but I’m not wearing the right shoes.
I must come back again tomorrow,
with footwear I can abuse.
I’m looking out to nothingness,
while sitting here on this rock.
That it’s so calm and peaceful now,
is quite a culture shock.
The sun is shining brightly still,
though it’s heading home to bed.
I like this part of Worthing now,
it sort of clears my head.

Some photos of the sea, two minutes from my flat. I’m not keen on the town but love the space to seashore provides.

Everything is just temporary,
nothing will last for good.
Everything will die one day,
it seems crazy but it should.
You see we all out grow this place,
manmade objects too.
New things comes to overtake,
there won’t be a rescue.
No one knows how long they have,
it could be very soon.
If we didn’t die one day,
there wouldn’t be enough room.
So everything is temporary,
we must enjoy it at the time.
Don’t save it for a rainy day,
use while the weathers fine.

I’m renting at the moment, it’s temporary. I’m renting a flat while I take a breather, plan for the future and set myself up, but it’s certainly temporary.
Life is temporary, we are here for just a while and yet our spirit is infinite, our spirit continues long after this life. We travel through many lives, what seems to us a lifetime is just a temporary stop off, like another lesson in school. We enter the classroom, absorb what is being taught, store it somewhere, gather our things and go onto the next lesson.
I like the flat I’m renting, it’s new, modern and spacious. I’m on the balcony at the moment, I just love having an outside space. I don’t like the town of Worthing, it’s not my sort of place, the people are not my people, it’s hard to explain but Brighton is more my vibe. Brighton is full of interesting people, vibrant, weird and wonderful. I can find stimulating conversations on every corner, art and music are just a stones throw and the food choices are huge. I tried to find a good bakers today, I’ll go into Brighton tomorrow and while I’m there, I’ll go to Infinity Foods and stock up on essentials.
We could be born anywhere, each time a different place or keep returning to the same place time after time. I think we are involved in choosing but we might also be drawn back for reasons, unfinished business or to continue a lesson. We might stay up to a hundred years, maybe longer, often shorter but it is still only temporary compared to continued existence of the soul.
I can cope with living in Worthing, I have space and I need space, I’m minutes from the sea and the beaches are not covered with tourists. The sea smells of seaweed and not beer and candy floss, that’s certainly a plus. I am fourteen miles from Brighton and can go in any time I need a fix, my son lives in Brighton.
If we look at life as temporary and break it down into parts, we can see it is all temporary. The good times and the bad, nothing lasts forever and it’s good to make the best of what we have for as long as we have it because the tides will change and another lesson will present itself. Each time life presents us with challenges, welcome them and know they are temporary, that they are there to teach us and they won’t last, brighter days are just around the next bend.

When we approach anything from the heart, we are giving the very best of us we can. Connection from the heart is connection from all that is and we can’t help but grow from this place.

I’m not bitter,
that it could have been me.
For not one tiny second,
now don’t you see.
I’m raging inside,
although you can’t tell.
No one can see,
that I’m living in hell.
It was a bitter pill,
the day I let you win.
As it’s only for me,
that you now have him.
You’re sweetness and light,
yes I can see,
too much sugar,
he could of had me.
You’ll bore him to tears
with your ideas,
I would have amused him
for many a year.
Bitterness
never helped put things right.
you won him fair,
I’ll give up the fight.

By the way this is a joke post, it didn’t happen!
Being bitter over things does us absolutely no good at all, in fact it’s harmful, it eats us up inside and can potentially make us ill. It’s proven that stress causes illness, I’ve seen this first hand and I’m sure bitterness, spite, anger and any negative emotions will do the same.
If we are what we think, then it makes sense that negative emotions will have a negative affect on our bodies. Probably more than that, how many things do we carry from life to life, pain and unresolved issues that cause difficulty in this life, block us from moving forward.
In one of my past life regressions I saw myself as a young vibrant woman, full of passion. I moved on in that life to the point of her death and saw an old bitter and twisted woman. I don’t know any more about what happened in that life, but I saw that bitterness did her no good. I had no time for the old woman, although one of my past lives, I felt detached and if I’m honest, repulsed. Maybe that’s why in this life I don’t like bitterness, maybe I learnt my lesson but maybe again I didn’t.
Recently a friend let me down, someone I thought I could rely on and although I had many more friends around me supporting me, I couldn’t help but feel a little bitter. My mind kept jumping to this person, I kept thinking about their broken promises, lies they had told, and you know it didn’t do me any good, it ate me up. Luckily I recognise this quickly and let it go, I sent out love and good wishes.
We are what we think, if bitter, then we are bitter inside and that’s not a nice thought. I’d much rather be full of love and happiness so that’s what I choose to give out. Imagine for a moment the difference between bitterness and love, can you see the difference when you visualise the two, are you with me?
We are and grow into what we think and do, it’s important to keep this in mind. Squash any negative thoughts as they surface, acknowledge and understand them but don’t hold on to them. If people do us harm send them love because it is by far the stronger emotion.
There is a time and a place for bitterness and for me the only bitterness that’s worth trying is bitter lemon in your gin or any recipe with lemon, dark chocolate or another bitter ingredient complimented by something sweet!

I haven’t any curtains yet,
so there I’m a little exposed.
If you look into my windows,
I won’t necessarily pose.
My place is nice and tidy,
I like to keep it clean.
But then I suppose I should,
as it’s likely to be seen.
If you think that you can see me,
know I see you too.
I won’t twitch behind the curtains,
I’ll stare right back at you!

Exposed
It’s not so bad to be exposed,
as it’s really just being real.
Trouble is it takes us a while,
to understand what we feel.
We need to feel true confidence,
to know we speak the truth.
Takes some time to build it up,
it’s not something of our youth.
When we reach a place in time,
that we really know ourselves.
Worry not of what others think
or have fear of being exposed.

It’s not always easy to find the centre, go inside of ourselves to rest and recover from life because there is always so much in the way. So much that needs to be let go of before we find ourselves in a place of silence and stillness, a place in which we can let go and truly rest in the heart. Easy or not it’s worth the journey.
