‘on break’ putting the phone away for now hoping to redirect the mind from reaching too often for a mindless scroll down
’on friday pause’ i'm really trying my best me too that’s all we can really do #jj_forum_2522
‘on day 3 of 30 day yoga with @adrienelouise’ moments in between see feelingly
'on a feeling' sometimes there is a sort of bubbling frothing feeling on the inside you can't quite put your finger on it however hard you try but now i try no longer and take my time to really focus on the pleasant fizzling absorbing it without attempts to figure it out because it will rush off and i still have no idea why and when it comes but it creates a warming calming aura so i sit still embracing it while it lasts
‘on this’ a brief moment of no looming a week of in between level two one last session from completing level three to commence soon a brief moment of no assignment a mental no man’s land to breathe in #oftheeverydaymirror
a frozen morning glow snow to follow today a sleet and dampness filled tomorrow come back yesterday’s frosty morrow
‘on glance’ i scribbled a poem in england she drew what it evoked down under in the land of oz @unvaeljournal published it and now it hangs at home framed next to her other ephemeral work sometimes a moment comes along that makes me squint with joy it fills me up from the inside ever so gently lucent we’ve never met yet there hangs a creative bond @sparksflyidraw
‘on changeover’ relief raw and visceral at presentation done discomfort coarse and awkward turns to joy so very grateful to play a part and grow
‘on knot’ momentum lost deadline looming avoidance guilt nerves momentum lost neurotransmitters at the ready for that fight or flight response momentum lost quick mindful meditation i am counting on you #WHPmovement for @instagram
‘on converging’ imagination logic intuition grief science experience belief chance active seeking we all take different routes but occasionally arrive at the exact same destination having set off from far apart that is the crossroad when real magic happens that is the crossroad when ideas and beliefs turn into truths
‘on now’ his total trust in me unnerving but i’m getting used to it allowing for bonding moments building a new relationship
'on unbecoming' i first watched 'groundhog day' a few years ago. i loathed it. i found bill murray's character exasperating and andi macdowell's rita equally as irksome. her optimistic naivety felt uncomfortable. i didn't find it remotely funny. i was thoroughly disappointed it did not live up to my 'culturally and historically significant' expectations. we recently watched it again. life experiences and introspections aplenty since the last viewing. and it stayed with me. expectations free, i saw it anew. the way i couldn't have done before. the way that now made total sense. the unbecoming of bill murray's cynical weatherman felt acutely personal. aware of the mental effort and time it takes to start paying attention in a particular way, on purpose and non-judgementally. fascinated by how the mind interprets everyday experience and transforms emotions. falling down and muddling through counts way more than standing upright. contentment is a byproduct of intentionally celebrating natural highs. little reasons make up the big reason to live. create what you want right now and see what happens. make way for chances and trust yourself to deal with whatever comes your way. have you seen it? does it speak to you?
‘on seasonal reflections’ there were and yet to come a lot of empty times but if you stop discern each moment’s unique chance avail yourself of it immediate feedback of joy in every given point not happiness in it’s traditional connotation but simple joy that can co-exist with sadness a chosen orientation to each day i never thought of it that way inspired by @onbeing conversation with david steindl-rast #WHPinspiredby
‘on palette’ his shade of grey reminds me of haruki murakami the human stories full of nostalgic melancholy of the way tarmac smells immediately after the rain of wintry cornish seaside skies and sea of skandi dreams i often entertain of being submerged into an unputdownable book on overcast and chilly day his shade of grey it does remind me
‘on holiday end’ switching gears exam looming scribbling underlining page turning hoping the fingers wake up the mind #jj_forum_2482
‘on adjusting’ i wasn’t raised a dog person i had a tortoise hedgehog parrot hamster not all at once i wasn’t raised a dog person it took a lot of soul searching to agree to have this one i wasn’t raised a dog person but for albus stormtrooper i shall try become
‘on wantings’ write scribble ponder read go to theatre often day dream of winding paths that may yet lead you trust that intuition place at bottom pit of stomach observe let go believe the time will come for more you time till then go run skip jump be present alongside them
‘on collectively create’ i scribbled down a poem she sketched a vision it invoked now the creative crossroad hangs on a south facing wall reminding me of connections lasting fleeting that @instagram affords here is to more .......... thank you @featherandwild #WHPresolutions2019 #oftheeverydaymirror
