Thank you so much for BE-ing together on our journeys, Lynda. What a gift. I am luxuriating in the word “blossoming”… mmm, thank you for that reflection, my friend.

Comment on who are you? by Chay-Ya

wow!

i found this because i was searching for myself, your blog and my blog have similiar names…

anyway a random flickering of bones on plastic and then your words sing into my ears, up my nostrils and through my eyes. and i read them automatically out loud…

who are you?

and what are you like?

who am i? who are we? who are you?

i sit for awhile with these questions. i can not even repond to the enjoyment or liking of your site because i havent read anything other than this post – which caught me. caught me and held me still and in raptures at the same time. i feel like this is what i have been searching for today. someone to ask me who i am so directly and with gently curiousity. someone so human as i feel too.

and yet i dont really know how to answer these questions.

i am me. always changing and moving and becoming and lessening and growing, in a constant state of flux, change and movement.

Dropping everything and finding i have all that i search for.

Heat and soul, singing and dancing? For me they are small things like cracking walnuts with the bottom of my boots, making sourdough bread, the sound of a teaspoon hitting the edges of a ceramic cup, singing while walking in the city when i think no-one can hear, making improvised performances of dance and noise, drawing all the tiny lines present in botanical structures onto smooth cotton paper.

Books? Wild Fermentation by Sandor Ellix Katz, Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, How Language Works by David Crystal, The Australasian School Atlas (1939).

Hopes and dreams and loves?

Yes, all of them. I yearn so much for something indescribable. Maybe it is belonging. contentment. acceptance of myself… its funny to type those things, because on defining they seem so obvious and i realise that those things are all present, its just myself that holds me back from myself.

and you? what do you truly hope for? who are you anyway?

why am i writing to you like this? flying forth and scrabbling in this rubble for words which mean something or can really… really, really? haha.

Yes, the curiousity of life.

in some way i feel i have grown young.with on going training,worldliness drops away.the layers of filters through which i viewed life as i learned to become an ‘adult’ have slowly dissolved.
it’s only this body that grows old.there is more than this.

I have deeply pondered your words, as they reflect my journey so well.

Observe the silence between the seeking, and what is sought appears effortlessly.

Seeking is not “finding” anything – it is merely taking off the old blinders that prevented us from seeing that it was there all along.

Thanks and Peace to you.

when we stop searching we find that what we are looking for is already here and always has been. there is nothing to seek that we don’t already have.it just takes us a while to realise that doesn’t it?
i offer merit to Raymond and to you.
