I wrote this in 2018. So some of you may remember reading, some will not.
But the message is still relevant, as I’m still busy creating both in and out of nature.
Remember that YOU are the most important person in your life too.
💖 Love to all who read here. 💖
~~~~~~~~~~
So many times, I pick up my journal to write, mainly it lives beside my bed, as I often wake in the early hours knowing I have something to say, yet its not until the pen touches the page I know what words will form. I have learnt not to resist and just go with the flow. And allow the words to spill out onto the page until they stop.
I will close my journal satisfied that something needed to be said and it can be days before I pick it up again to write or read. I then flick back through the pages that I date when I write and I read back through my scribbling.
Often my poetry is written this way, which I then type up, if I feel it worthy of the effort. And sometimes I can’t even remember writing some of the passages I entered and read back in amazement as if some other hand wrote it.
Today I will share with you one such passage, I usually log the time I start to write also.. This piece was written on March 19th 2018 time: 1: 35am.
I will entitle this
I SEE YOU..
Sleep eludes me as I try to empty my mind of trivia, I have no real concerns, I am lucky, and yet a thousand thoughts rush through my brain each one speeds through like a bullet train. Every carriage holding minute remnants of images that rush by my inner eye at the speed of light.
I let out a deep sigh, to begin my mantra, listening to the rhythm of my heart beat.
I sink into the velvet tunnel of blackness floating on air, I am lifted up into a Garden.
The fragrance of the roses hit my senses before I see them. I find myself in a walled garden covered in their magnificent blooms. Their scent is so heady, almost intoxicating. My nostrils breathe deeply, so deep my head aches between my eyes.
In front of me is a bench, I sit, as the dizzy perfume works its magic. A soft breeze lifts the petals that have already fallen on the path and more swirl to join them as their spent blooms let go of their Summer glory.
A low hum is vibrating all around the garden wall as worker bees gather pollen to fill their nests before the Autumn takes hold. Their hum speaks….
“I see you—– I honour you…… I love you….“
The rhythm beats along with their hum, the garden walls disappear as more petals fall caught by the breeze.
A warm glow shines its light upon the bench..
I see you…. I honour you….. I love You….
As a silver light in the shape of a figure’s silhouette is outlined in the glow.
I stand and reach out my hand and I hear myself say
I see you…, I honour you… I love you.
The shining figure steps forward into view, I then gasp as I hear my intake of my own breath. I step forward, I see my own reflection reaching out to take my own hand.
I see you… I honour you.. I love you.. I say to myself..
I turn, open my eyes as dawn breaks and I sigh, as my mantra echoes on.. I made it through another long night into the light of a New Dawn..
I see you…… I honour You…… I love you..
Are you nurturing your own inner garden? Are you weeding out the negative thoughts that sabotage your growth? Are you honouring yourself? Are you feeding your Spirit with the nourishment it needs to grow?
When was it the last time you looked deep into your Reflection To SEE Yourself, and Honour ALL that you are, and tell yourself You are Loved..
Maybe the next time you gaze into your reflection is a good time to say..
I SEE YOU… I HONOUR YOU…. I LOVE YOU!….
And watch how your reflection smiles back!
💖Love to you ALL..💖

It is indeed a very beautiful journey Sue. I will always remember that final step when I knew I was home within myself and I stopped and just silently watched the beauty of a butterfly fluttering across a garden.
That sight always stays with me for how powerful it touched me. It had always been there but till then I was deep in my journey, almost blind to all else. But the lifting of that mask truly set me free.
Great post dear lady and beautifully written from that freedom. Thank you for the share 😀❤️🙏

Thank you Donna… I know, at the end of the day we can only help ourselves… But I am for ever grateful for those inspirers who with their Affirmations and words inspired me to look deeper within my self.. Such as Wayne Dyer, and Louise Hay, and others… We often forget in our busy lives as we are too busy working to makes ‘ends meet’ that we need to nurture and look after and love ourselves..
So many lives have been programmed to disregard themselves.. When we can come back within, and then see the Divine Love has always been within us.. As we open our hearts to our own inner beauty which we all have within us… When we truly begin to let go of our programs, and love ourselves, then our whole Lives begin to change .. And it is too good not to share the love within, which is waiting for each of us to discover.. 🙂
