I’m healing
This week found me visiting more stone circles, medieval ruins, prehistoric artesian wells, walks through magical forests, learning the ancient art of falconry, laughing with the locals while talking smart, and a bit of shopping.
I also climbed seven stories to the top of The Church of Ireland’s (St. Canice’s Cathedral) Round Tower. This church is 13th century old, and as I climbed, I realized the people must have been quite a bit shorter and thinner, or gluttons for suffering as even I needed to bend a few times to keep from hitting my head.
Climbing seven stories of near ladder-steep steps and no pain in the knees is huge for me. I couldn’t even think about doing that three weeks ago when I arrived in Ireland. That first week my legs were swollen and painful every night, and I was feeling pretty defeated.
A lot has changed as you can see from the picture of me popping out of the top of the tower into the fresh air. A metaphor of sorts for how far I’ve come in a short length of time.
I’ve resolved much of the ancestral byproduct I’ve carried as story and legend within my DNA, and have a better sense of the bit of Universal sparkle that has manifested as me. Nothing in my past, no matter how far back, can define who I am or how I use my unique portion of the cosmos.
My trip to Ireland has been liberating. I’ve learned most people have the blood of many races because humans are travelers. I can’t imagine that anyone is 100 percent anything other than human, and I’m not totally sure about that as we are descendants from the stars. By revisiting the old stories and histories of my ancestors, I’ve learned to let go of it all.
I am not this thing or that—I am all of it and none of it. I am who I say I am but I’d be better off staying out of the need to label, identify, or define anything including me. With this understanding, my body is healing. I feel free. My world has opened to the creative source within and I am unafraid.
Much love from the Emerald Isle.
