And this morning I thought, 'Crumbs, I had better say 'hello!' and check everyone is okay!'
That is, if anyone is still reading. If anyone is still linking into the circle on Mondays between 7 and 8 p.m.
The statistics linked to this blog suggest not. Not that I am bothered about statistics. What do they tell us, after all? That someone has collected numbers that likely are not relevant to the core of life and who we are? Numbers that have been manipulated for a purpose, or have been supplied falsely or carelessly?
The space occupied here is space I appear to be occupying alone. It feels a bit echoey, but I shall plod on, if only for the purpose of providing a record of my own continued development. And I shall continue for the link formed by the sister circle in France (thank you, Vera!) as I know there is work going on there. It is difficult, though, when those who began with you, full of energy and motivation, suddenly shift away because their daily lives are so busy there is no time for reflection or sitting quietly for a tiny proportion a week.
It brings to mind a poem I learned as a child:
What is this life if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep and cows.
No time to see in woods we pass
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see in broad daylight
Streams full of stars like skies at night.
A poor life this, of full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
But those of us left behind must not mind. People come and go. People remain steady or change their minds. People have different values and purposes, motives and priorities. We can't all feel the same about this work. How dull would that be? Universal Energy has variety, so why not the people who link with it?
So, can one sit in circle alone? Does it take more than one person to form a circle? Mathematicians might say so, but mathematician I am not. What I do believe is that we are a circle, a 'wholeness' if you like within ourselves. So when I sit in meditation and am channeling I feel I am a complete link. I don't need to have someone with me, either in my physical space, nor mentally. Having said that, though, it is lovely to know there is someone out there linking into the Universal Energy at the same time as me. A companionship.
Is there anyone else out there? If there is, know that I am still with you!
With love and light.
