Bendalong 2017

I can't neglect to acknowledge the soul stirring magic of this place. The kind of magic that awakens your soul and leaves you gripping on to what is reality. There were leaden skies and monsoon downpoors. Beauty arises within unknown moments. I was swallowed by the sea and healed, my heavy heart. Until I stopped I could never listen. To my mind, my heartbeat. My bones couldn't steady. I could tell her my secrets. Beneath the clouds, the rain. My thoughts would drown and be kept sacred among the earth. Never to be touched upon. The universe is full of unknown spaces. Now I can dance in wonder with a clear mind, a steadied heart, beneath the sun and colours and know in the depths that my mind is weightless.

So many people. So many beautiful places to see. Be soft and gentle. With yourself, with others. Do not let pain make you stale or hard. Remember that you are an etheral garden.

Yesterday, I sat in the sunshine thinking of you. I opened my chest and showed the sky my scars. I asked the sun to cradle my heart, to keep in quiet. To sweep me up with the moon and place me among the night stars. I showed the sky how my heart had fallen and was led to the sea.

Where thoughts are tangled within overgrown green vines and the water harshly flows in between turbulent concaves. I have cried so hard that I swore I had emptied all the water from the sky onto my bed sheets. Where the surface of my skin showed the burden of our loss.You weren't a waste of space. I have walked through fire and come out the other side, wiser, stronger and still breathing. As I will again and again. So thankyou for tracing my strength with our abrasive moments.

Love in the days of rage. When your heart is burning and your soul is fuming with passion. To love when the days are soft and warm. When you want to melt in between the sand and rolling hills. I want to lose myself in the ocean. Delve to the bottom of the ocean floor and sink beneath the stars and the sun. I want to watch the world glisten from below the surface. Escape, lose my identity. Lose myself. Run free and wild and never return. I crave to know more and more about myself.
