It has taken a form quite different from the previous two and it feels so magical to me, this tiny journal filled with heart. The original black covered sketch journal I had chosen didn't "fit" so I went on a search one day while in Hanover and found a small green one--handmade paper cover and pages; a page marker made of raffia with a round wooden bit hanging from the end.
Many things will be tucked away in the pages of this journal...hopes and dreams and fears and photos; and three pieces of heavy cardstock that correspond to the areas of my current focus:
A Starfish for wellness and regeneration....the past two years have been difficult.....bad insurance/no insurance, medications, and a body I no longer recognize. It's time to nourish and tend.
The Phoenix to mark a new beginning in work and livelihood....a chance to make a difference.
A Heart Tree for growth and love....growth happens in relationship, not in isolation.
This is a work in progress and will take perhaps another week or two to finish. Then it will become a tool for use during meditation, and a guide to draw on during practical application.
And when she arrives I will give it to her. My heart to read and hold and touch...
