When and where are the moments when you rememBEr who you are? – P. Annie Kirk

What are those spaces and places?

Are they when you’re traveling? Perhaps in a flicker of a second, you feel the “thing” while driving? Maybe it’s in waking from a deep sleep spell – when all is quiet in the house – and you see visions of the garden of you, what’s possible, the idea and the ideal?

You remember. That which cannot be contained. That which is not to be fenced in.

Revel in that feeling, don’t you want to?

Moments back to the sense of whole-me. Ideal-me. Connected-not-separate-me. These come when in our “native landscape”. When the busy mind is lent a pause allowing our souls a syncing of greater awareness.

“But how do I remember more, more often, when the house (or mind) ain’t so quiet?”

Start with creating a context and surround yourself with prompts of that native landscape of you – your ideal self. The one you remember. Our environments are created to work in our favor – to help us sow a storyline that reminds and reflects us, one that actually heals the divide. Anything else is a lie and puts nothing back together for you.

We know from scientific evidence.

We know from the mystics.

We can design reconnection with ourselves.

We can create our way out from and back to being our own sense of sanctuary.

The photos and quotes are part of a #thriveoutsidehealinside collection, Red Bird has curated over the decades – resources that I turn to for inspiration, empowerment, and reassurance – not unlike my healing relationship with my garden and nature beyond. Research studies show that views of nature-based positive distractions reduce pain, anxiety, stress, fatigue, distress and other physiological and psychological outcomes. Please, enjoy this #healinggardenhappyplace moment with me.)
