Lately, I have been wanting to declare myself a "Drama Free Zone." Today I realized that doing so would be a direct contradiction with my calling as a devote of Innana. Damn.
Recently an old friend told me: It's not stress but strain that kills. Stress is a normal part of life. Strain is when you are unbalanced and stress causes strain. When I have taught spiritual work, I have always tried to teach my students about the centrality of balance. Sometimes I just need a reminder.
I am very glad that I did some grounding and devotional meditation this morning. I feel amazingly calm even after a long talk with the person I posted about earlier. The talk was long and emotionally intense. For the first time in a long time, I feel I acted in complete accord with my own spiritual beliefs and the wellbeing of all involved.
For a Witch with as many years experience as I have, it still amazes me how powerful magic is. Not just magic as in spells, but the more powerful work of asking the divine to be with you and in you.
My life is meant to be lived intensely. Intensely does not mean ungrounded. No matter what happens next, I am grateful to Innana for that insight. Hard to remember some days. But oh so very worth it.
