“the long work of turning their lives into a celebration is not easy.” – Mary Oliver
I’m full today. I’m full of potential and possibility. I am full of gratitude for unexpected time given and serious November weather. I am full of fire and energy to get on with my business of creation. I am full of doubts and fears about my place in that business. I am full of inspiration, but am greedily gulping more down, sitting with sites and books and oracles open on the table in front of me, unable to pick just one. I am full of the beauty of an orange pumpkin and gale force winds and sunshine streaming in a perfect square on the floor. I am full of despair at the loss of time and the confusion between believing that the world is unfolding as it should and believing that there is power in wishing for something. I am full of love and pride for friends as their lives expand in creative and powerful ways. I am full of envy for people who have been able to create their life as they want it. I want them to teach me their secret. I am full of joy that I am beginning to create my own life as I want it, and intrigued because even my own secret evades me. Maybe theirs evades them too. I am full of delicious food and just one tiny spoonful of Nutella. I am full of a rich, ancient, deep yearning for connection and knowledge: for women around a fire and a drumming that comes from my own heart. I am full of wild spinning and serious sitting. I am full of years of creativity that has been stifled, paintings that haven’t been painted, and dances that haven’t been danced. I am full of joy for the words that I have written and the books that will be birthed by me. I am full of love for my family, and full of hope that I will soon be back in the land of my birth. I am full of so much today that it feels like my skin is the only thing keeping me contained in this space. I am full of the whispers of my wild woman and today I am not afraid.
Roar.

Love this Megg! Love all the images your words conjure up here… women sitting circle around a fire, fear, joy, envy and satisfaction, the drums, and your own wild woman…
Wow. I took in every morsel of your feelings here. Your secret can’t evade you much longer, it is dying to come out. It seems you are on the verge of great things. Happy Belated Birthday my fellow Scorpio!!
Hi ‘Wild Woman’! 🙂
So happy to see you so full of all that life has to offer!
Every moment that we breathe and think…our life IS being created by US right now … for ‘ what we think today, is waht we are tomorrow’.
So, may tomorrow be an amazingly ‘full’ day too!
