Who’s Driving This Ship Anyway?

Ellie's phone pictures 750I’m gonna be honest.  I’m feeling scared about my move to Santa Fe.  I seem to have let go of the words to describe why I’m going.  I can’t even access the left brain rationale. I am on a course with no brakes or diversions. Somewhere in my soul I know why I am doing this.  The draw is so strong that I feel like I am not even commandeering this ship.  I am just along for the ride.

Release and re-invention are guiding me. Only take what I love. Leave lighter and unencumbered.  I gave away my old fur coat and wedding silverware, sculptures, dishes, and unopened bottles of alcohol.  Books once read, but unlikely to be re-read.  Let someone else enjoy them.  I have been shredding tons of documents.  It is astounding how much I have accumulated that doesn’t pertain to me anymore.  Did I ever throw anything out?

I’m leaving a warm, cozy house, friends whom I love, and delightful relationships with local merchants.  I know where to find anything and who to call.  I am going to the unknown, the unknowable, the untarnished.  Yet, I feel supported.  I have a strong, inner feeling that this is right.  It is one of those quiet, yet intense, knowingnesses that is my truth.  When I listen, I am guided.  It is a leap of faith from a foundation of trust. But at times, like today and last night, it is scary!

    Dear Ellie, Thanks so much for sharing this. It is inspiring, and I love hearing that for truly important things, we may not be completely in charge. What you are undertaking sounds just right and wonderful.
    I’m thinking of you.
