in a few days I am moving house... away from the crazy chaos of the big community house to a smaller space where the company of adults and the promise of space... silence... and solitude is the tangible promise.... there is a delight at the prospect and also dread... for much as I love the space of silence, I am captivated by the chaos of kids, people, dogs and cat mixing and mingling, bumping and muddling along...loose, free, unstructured... the dance of wild aliveness.
love of wild life.. affinity to solitude and silence... it's an uneasy marriage that has swung me from one extreme to another in this life ...
I contemplate integration... silence and chaos...mmm... is that possible?
sharing with companions I hear they share the calling to that possibility... true aloneness and radiantly alive communion walking hand in hand.......
the potential of knowing profound silence within the chaos and brilliant, passionate aliveness in aloneness....
I know relating wakes and shakes me into many places.....from brightness to blackness .... can I find the sparkle in the deep silence? I am told I can.....
watch this space......
