The idea of embracing the process as we move towards something, though needing to be still to find the movement in stillness.

Or the other way around, being in quiet stillness as we wait for some motion to take place and in both scenarios, knowing that we will meet with the same three elements of reclaiming ownership: chaos, connection and purpose. 

Like when burn-out called us into forced stillness, to find a new space to move. Like when we were so stagnated and nothing seemed to be happening and our own inner mess pushed us into making the first step towards some motion and a new creation was possible again.

As we explore the moving and the staying still we are basically recognising the ways time is fleeting by. We are realising the normality of our ordinary living and finding the sacred quietness that takes place even in the most chaotic of moments. 

How when we look into the depths of our moving from one choice to the next there is in the end, an invitation to relate to time and its hidden treasured gifts. 

Moving slowly, slowly into our inner and outer lives… 

only if we realised that time is acutely not waiting, only flowing. 

Blink. A month has passed. Blink Blink. A year. Blink a decade…. 

From stillness to motion is a 3 scene series where we move slowly into the depths of our story to embrace the chaos, to connect again with our landscapes and aiming to discover a purpose that takes us back into what truly matters, amongst the ordinary or the un-extraordinary realities that we live in.

How fast? How slow? 

Time will tell. Soul will guide. 

This is the trend. 

The pulsation of our summer muse: Chaos - Connection - Purpose

Sensing how fleeting it all is.

That voice that keeps whispering, “you will miss this too” is playing in my head and I trust it, I rely on it, and I yield to it with a sense of relief that it is there, this voice, reminding me and giving me the sense of fullness and hope that sometimes seems lost. 

Lost in the translation from the chaos of reality to the connection with inner truth that promises a sense of purpose. It seems to be the secret rhythm that I need to acknowledge.

It is the fleetingness that makes a messy kitchen with children jumping around playing a water gun fight feel like a gem. 

Or in other words, there is something about reconciling these worlds of the raw outer chaos with the inner voice that connects us to purpose, that allows for reconciliation and hope. 

As a beautiful friend said once:

“how endless our treasures are in brief, un-extraordinary moments”.

I was listening to a catchy new favourite song Tiempo by Ozuna

while writing some content for a deares mothering project Im developing and I found myself chair dancing and singing at the top of my lungs. Caspian the cat, seemed very attuned to my vibes… and certainly was *very into them*, and came over to meow and rub his little head all over my legs while I danced. The more I moved, the more he loved on me. Cats are weird and amusing. Sometimes songs move us in some strange ways… 

What´s your favourite recent song to dance to?

This clip is of Olympia Dukakis in the movie Moonstruck.

Her authenticity and her characters are so full of meaning.

Olympia owns an authentic connection to herself. She reminds me of the power we are able to own amidst the chaos of change, in the many ways ageing is waiting for us to see deeper into our inner life.

“So I constantly play women who are damaged and out of touch, who are seeking without knowing, or knowing without the skills to transform their lives. But then, that's really the fate of many women today.”

- Olympia Dukakis
