It has been too long dear blog reader…much is transpiring and has transpired in the world of the Scribbler…Bankruptcy was avoided and now a deal is about to be struck with my creditors that will tie me up to a relatively small monthly commitment for the next 5 years. I have no idea if I can make my business work/survive for that long but I will be giving it all of my attention. Right now there is work and I am endeavoring to outlay a little less and try to actually save a tad…a brave new world for this confirmed lifelong spendthrift…we shall see where this ends.
On a more personal note it appears that another long term area of stability is crumbling. Mr and Mrs Scribbles are to be no more after a dance of some 30 years. It is with deep sadness that I report this but I have to also add it is not the first time that our deeply independent attitudes have led us to walk separate roads…In the past they always led back to each other and so it is with uncertainty that we walk away in opposite directions, knowing that only in this moment, is it the right thing to do.
For now we co-habit and make do. Some days are good, some not so. Soon my working contracts will end and I will head North to Scotland to live in a teepee for the next few months…to be still…and to find my own centre once more…beyond that I have a drum circle training to run, also in Scotland and then a growing desire to go and walk the Camino
Where I will be geographically and emotionally come the end of this year is open to the four winds.
May they blow me into a place of peace.
May the winds take you to a place of peace indeed! this is certainly a bitter sweet post… glad to read the good news on avoiding banckrupcy… take care Paul, hope to read you soon, Alexandra
Thanks Alexandra. I hope to catch up on a bit of reading other blogs too. Not been so high on my priority list.
Now with your finacial burden lifted, your decisions for the next months are very wise; quiet, stillness,listening and reflection will heal you both because even though you are apart, you are one on a deeper level.
I have heard wonderful things about the Camino.
Your words are full of compassion and knowing and I thank you for offering them. x
don’t want to sound wierd but I have a knowing that is not intellectual that all will be well, more than well, joyful
Well then you ‘know’ more than I do
I should have left well enough alone with my first comment. I am just “digging myself a deeper hole”. All I “know” is that when I pray for you a sudden emotion of joy combined with a physical burning in my hands and heart, a perception of a flow of the Spirit and a dumb grin on my face that says all is well.
Not at all. I respect all beliefs even if I do not share them. Thanks again for your kindness.
