Ancient Harbor

Ancient Harbor

ancient harbor into the sea
Ancient Harbor, a safe harbor endures, brings comfort, rest from the journey

Ancient Harbor reminds us that our safe harbor is within us, just waiting to be remembered, always ready to get us through all the changing times. We, too are strong, have resilience, and can weather the storms through space and time. Life has proven that since we’re all still here.

A flood of emotion rolled through me as I realized, yet again, that I can’t save anyone but myself. I can recommend, give ideas, and encourage, but each loved one must find their own path. They are here to learn, grow, and have experiences, no matter how much I want to protect them, and have them do what I think is the right way to eat, live, do. So I hang up my wings, and take a step back.

This Savior mode is ingrained deeply in many of us. But, really, it’s a frame of mind…my mind, your mind. And minds can be changed, emotions altered, and flow restored.

The word Redirection has come my way more than once lately. So with redirection, also comes clarity. What makes me happy and raises my spirits? Great memories of holidays, celebrations, and gatherings flow in. Photo albums bring out the best in me, and I share them with family which doubles the fun.

Travel of course. I’ve been thinking of Provence, the south of France, and especially drawn to a town called Cassis. I’m not sure when it first appeared. But I keep coming back to it. To me, it sounds like the perfect place to restore my energy, nurture my spirit, and rediscover the beauty of life.

Next, of course making art grounds me in the Now and immerses me deeply in my imagination. It’s letting the body go and just create in the moment. Plus, it’s so healing. So I surrounded myself with pictures of Cassis. Then I imagined what the view might be from the ancient, mysterious harbor of stones, that disappear into the sea.

Ancient Harbor is gratitude for life in the Present.

Therefore, Redirection reminds me to accept all people on their path, to allow new directions to come my way, and to receive wisdom for my own life. Like the Opening Heart Lotus, I let the shifts happen within me. Then the beauty all around me lightens my thoughts, my heart, and body. Also, this is the healthiest way to live.

In addition, redirecting myself empowers me. I feel my passion flowing, I’m excited about creating something new, and I’m grateful for all the good times I’ve had.

So give it a try. Shift your attitude away from sadness and into the great memories of a life well lived. Go through the photo albums of memories, and share them with loved ones. Change your story to one that will carry you into the future, content with all you have. And create something of beauty. Treat yourself to some new clothes. Brighten up your life with renewed energy, rich colors, and beautiful surroundings. Visualize it and create Magic this day. It’s time to Create new wonderful memories.
