Mynd Space…
Sunny and bright after yesterday’s dull and dreary unceasing rain… Not that I mind the rain on one hand – I went running…got soaked in about three minutes….but after that it was ok – wet anyways so you just keep on going…running in the rain – consciously – not simply ‘getting wet’ – something mindful about that.
Consciously ‘got wet’ today too. Haven’t visited this waterfall for a while and it felt lovely to revisit an old haunt. Not exactly wild swimming as no swim involved…more like dipping and playing in the waterfall.
Something deeply cleansing about being in the river but this is an even more intense experience when the water is pounding down all around – and on – you. Feels like a blessing, an initiation… hard to put into words but it is deep hitting and moving… came here with my guys a couple of years ago, we held hands (they were a lot smaller then and could hardly stand up in the force of the fall) and played in the fall together…it was amazing, cleansing away all the dross and echoes of trauma…guess this is why this particular place has such a profound significance to me…not only is it magically beautiful, but it has helped us so much…
Enjoy your journey X
