Dear Diary; This is Our Life

Another day dawns in a world that appears to have starting turning in the opposite direction; restaurants and shops all shut up, the people who crowded together in buses and tubes have vanished… 

On the streets, an absence of the constant familiar movement that was London Town… Ever awake, never sleeping…..

No running races, gyms, or games of football…

Living near the Chelsea ground, meant that it wasn’t unusual to find myself caught up in the mass of people making their way; I was ferried along, caught in the energy, of the crowds and crowds…

No Wimbledon.

No birthday parties, dinner parties, casual coffee get togethers…

The world as we knew it changed…

Our experience of life so new, so unfamiliar.

Cautiously we skulk around one another in the super market… A long spread out line to get in, with no opportunity for trivial chatter…

Instead of collecting our tickets from the box office at the theatre, or boarding the plane, the excursion with an expectant queue is for Tescos, or the Co op… Or Waitrose for a treat.

Weaving as wide as possible – huge great figures of eight – while running in Hyde Park, with Police a quiet presence, slowly circling the parks, on horseback, in cars… And on every street…  Everywhere we turn, in our world so different than before.

So, what are we to do…? What is to become of us and our world….?

We are to become.

We are to be.

This is our life, now. In this moment, and in every moment.

This is our life

Unfolding in the now.

And so what to do, is to be, here, now.

Quiet within; living from this place, this inner compass.

When we remember who we are…. ‘Who am I? Who am I really’?

 When we live from this still quiet place of truth….Then the outer realms melt away, as we see things from the silence within.

There is no world… Or universe –

Out there…

It exists within us, the reflection of our own energy, our inner state., creating the moment, our world, our universe….

And so we transform the world by being the transformation…

Our energy shifts the vibration all around us; and the reflection shines back.

The love that flows from our silence heals the world…
