Ok, I've been wallowing in something. Bogged down, stuck - like glue. The weight/health thing is not the only place in my life where this is happening. I'm supposed to be developing an on-line course addressing law and politics. Just like I know how to eat healthy, I know the law/politics subject area. In both instances, I am RESISTING. My heart is not singing.
Today I got an e-mail directing me to the video linked below. It's a National Geographic photographer talking about his enlightening encounters with the beauty that exists all around us. "You won't see it until you believe it." Watching the video is like guided meditation. Very calming, nourishing even. Worth the 20 minutes.
Celebrate What's Right With The World Video by Lazarus! - The Resurrected - MySpace Video
As I watched, I realized I LOVE photography and I LOVE creating traditional items related to my native heritage. These are activities I can lose myself in. These are activities I can find myself in.
Developing a "healthy lifestyle" and developing an on-line course are chores I have signed on for that take me away from the things I love. At any rate, this is how I am approaching (resisting) them. After watching this video, I realize I need to adjust my vision - see it in a way that lifts me up instead of dragging me down.
I'll have to sit with this a bit. Literally, I can feel a lightness in the back of my skull. The video kind of shook things loose, made me dizzy. Like the earthquake we had yesterday (6.5 undulation.) Everything is still in exactly the same place, but it has all been moved about.
