Moving is such a process..but in more ways than one. <br /><br />"too many rules not enough imagination" "not enough soul" "the world doesn't owe me anything" but "then I don't owe the world anything either"..this reminds me that I've said this often to myself through the years. I wholeheartedly agree and think I understand what you mean.<br /><br />I really want to simplify my life and have much "less" in materialisitc aspects and yet in many other aspects also. I know you know what I mean.<br /><br />Your like me in that you are comfortable with yourself on your own and off sitting in a mountain top and just "connecting" with what you feel and know. I like that. I've always been this way all my life and people always mention how "strange" they find it..I find it "strange" that they rarely take the time to get to know who they are on thier own "inside' within themselve..their too busy running the rat race which they call "life"..sigh..having no clue who they are without someone else.<br /><br />You sure are evolving and going through much these days..reading your post I see so much honesty and growth. I hope the same for myself one day..still working on it..many lessons for me to continue to learn.<br /><br />RhiRhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533771985725095499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-21149226847665951042009-05-30T20:17:58.247-04:002009-05-30T20:17:58.247-04:00I’m feeling the need to let go of a lot of stuff.....<I>I’m feeling the need to let go of a lot of stuff...much of which doesn’t require a moving van...</I>Came to it somewhat late in the game, but divesting seems to me to the be the way to happiness.Kvatchhttp://ragebot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-77926801771429255012009-05-29T12:32:26.238-04:002009-05-29T12:32:26.238-04:00I dislike blog stats, too, but I reserve my bigges...I dislike blog stats, too, but I reserve my biggest hate-on for those tattle-tale "look who's visited" thingys with the name of my town and my flag. I know some bloggers who have that gizmo, and then complain because they can tell that not everyone who stops by leaves a comment...

And I'm endlessly giving away or selling whatever I can. Must be those previous lives as a monk or something (that, and my thing - sometimes - for guys with shaved heads).<br /><br />The hassle of picking up and re-settling and finding new resting spots for all the crap you're no longer sure you need, but can't quite bring yourself to get rid off... until the next time you move at least. It blows, and not in the good way.<br /><br />So good luck with all that, hope you've got someone there to help you out a bit.<br /><br />A change (if you're not already doing it way too often) is good for the soul. And hopefully you can leave a bit of luggage behind when you go. That's always my aim, anyway.<br /><br />Oh and by the way, if you're getting 1000 visitors a day, you're doing ay better than me! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-65444114847153160752009-05-29T05:36:46.867-04:002009-05-29T05:36:46.867-04:00Ah Feng Shui! - I just love the idea of new energy...Ah Feng Shui! - I just love the idea of new energy being created, even if it's not mine personally. <br />Although really, your energy IS my energy in the great big scheme of things. <br /><br />Be prepared to be out of sorts for a while, as often when we make big changes there's that awkward time of shedding the old skin, before the shiny new stuff shows up.<br /><br />Anyway - a long way to say I'm happy for you, I hope it all goes well! <br /><br />p.s.

I've recently been going through...so true, so true.<br />I've recently been going through similar shedding, clearing, stripping away and throwing out of stuff, both literally and symbolically, and though freeing, it's also kind of exhausting. Moving adds another whole layer to this kind of shifting. I've moved a lot in my life, and long distances - when I'm stressed in my day time life I have anxiety dreams about moving!<br />WIshing you the smoothest of transitions and hope you love your new digs!Karin Bartimolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490920503677450338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-52644645147807652792009-05-28T16:28:19.488-04:002009-05-28T16:28:19.488-04:00Your posts don't often give me goosebumps, but thi...Your posts don't often give me <EM>goosebumps</EM>, but this one did.
