I was attracted by the abundance’ theme, around my own blog post on Simple Abundance gratitude – grateful for what is around us and in our lives, helping us feel happier and more content with who we are/where we are.
This post is interesting for me personally and professionally, having been very time driven in the past I know I have become less so, and for it, much happier! Not to say time doesn’t matter, with appointments and work schedules including eating breaks like lunch, but out of those situations I am learning (re-learning?) how to be more relaxed and intuitive – trusting that ‘I’ know best for ‘me’; and when I can I do respond to my own intuition rather than planned schedules (albeit a life coach with goals and timescales…these are flexible and can include intuitive action too). Thanks for this as it has given me food for thought and a chance to review my situation, and how I work too.

First time visitor. This piece is nicely written and touches on lots of things close to my heart: taking time, paying attention, opening up to wonder. Nice job! — even the music selection! I’ll check back now and then for more.

Charlie,

What an exquisite post. I’ve just discovered your blog today, and feel like i’ve found an oasis after an extended stay in the desert. Subscribing now!

Particularly, I enjoy the way you’ve perceived the natural world as being the essential link between the past and the present of our species, and note (correctly) the way in which the stories we choose to tell have changed as our relationship with our environment has changed.

“It’s so hard to listen to ourselves any more because, in large part, we’ve abdicated our intuitive capacity to the regimentation of human artifacts.” Agreed. For better or worse, gone are the gods and supernatural forces we once attributed to our creation. In their place we have installed the cruelest diety of all: our egos. To our detriment we’ve discovered that the demands we place on ourselves far exceed those of a vengeful god.

Your message here resonates strongly with me, and you’ve found all of the words i’d lost. Thank you.

I’m about to ride my bicycle from the west coast of Wales in the UK to the mediterranean in Spain, and i’ll be camping exclusively. I realise after reading your post that alot of what i’m searching for will be right in front of me during the journey. The anxiety you’ve enunciated here will help me to view this experience with a fresh lense of perception!
