No cages!

I am a free spirit......in this chapter, so completely.....and I have never really understood what that meant......when I heard somebody use that term before, it conjured up imagery of a barefoot hippie dancing round at Woodstock......their eyes closed, and being in the moment ;-) But I now know that to be a FREE spirit.....your spirit really needs to be FREE.....in a literal sense.........and mine finally is......so fully.....and what it actually means is an unencumbered spirit......one not rooted in fear, in worry, in control......a spirit that is subject to living in other places......ones rooted in freedom, peace, faith......and I shared that I went on a lovely date with a very nice man.....we had a lot of fun, and hit it off......but as time moved a little the last few days, I realized our spiritual lives are not aligned.....and my spirit knew in one moment that it wouldn't work.....nobody's fault.....just is.....and sometimes opposites attract works.....it is a place to grow together, and evolve......growing each other's lives.....and I love when that happens.....but my free spirited spirituality, would most definitely have been a source of strife at some point......My sense of spirituality encompasses God, Jesus, The Universe, the moon, astrology, Buddha stuff, nature, you get the idea;-) And I think the way we view that particular part of life, as humans, and collectively, drives the ship in our lives.....and I have walked through such an expansion the last couple of years, the world opening right up, and truthfully it will be hard for anybody to understand ........I feel that so completely........but all I know is that I do understand it.....so completely, down to the deepest parts of me, and I know that the way I approach my spiritual life draws people in some, but it is also something that cannot be misaligned in love......and so I have faith in all things.....always.....knowing that at any given moment, I am RIGHT where I need to be......but that voice in my soul, the one that is divinely led, is SO loud these days.....showing me so completely where I am supposed to be......and I think that the fact that I am not rooted in worry, or fear, or control, or any of those things, and the lack of them becomes a point of attraction.....a place to marvel at the how I am not in those places.....and to be honest I don't know how lol:) It certainly wasn't something that happened all at once.....it was an undoing.....sometimes painful, sometimes confusing, sometimes surprising, but it was a clear unraveling of who I used to be......the places that kept me stuck and scared.....and as I sit here this morning I am FREE......free to fully own who I am.....knowing who I am so completely that there is no doubt in my mind of where I belong in any given moment.....and there is freedom in that too! And sometimes I wonder.....if I will be able to find somebody that lives their spiritual life in a way that is aligned with mine......and it is a challenging mix of things......I am not naive to realize that......my sense of it all encompasses so much, and so many things.....there is not a boundary around it for me......but here is the thing I trust more than anything....if I continue to show up as myself fully, authentically me, the things that are for me have no choice but to show up too:) And if I continue to move in the world without need, just ease......then I will attract what is aligned with my walk......I have to say, that the freedom I feel in this part of my life is like nothing I have ever felt....I am free in every way a person can be....and the free spirit piece is so huge......not feeling tethered from within......and sometimes I wonder if people believe me, or if they think I am crazy for what I try to express lol:) But it doesn't keep me from trying.....because my goal in sharing, and walking my path is to have as many people join me in this magical space I have found......and as this year draws to a close, I see why I had to walk through what I did this year......needing to learn how to touch another layer of freedom by breaking cycles so completely, that they can never return again;-) Like throwing glass against a wall and watching the pieces shatter........And well.....can I get an Amen to that:) Happy Thursday!
