Hi Jannie
Isn’t it wonderful when people are prepared to share the love and comment.
I know the feeling as many of us do, no doubt.
I had a look at your river trail, wonderful, how can you NOT want to go out and enjoy the body doing its thing.
It is amazing how being surrounded by nature can stimulate the senses and speak to the heart.
I have noticed that living here certainly pulls at the heart strings and is making a difference. There is a lot less ‘must’ and ’should’ going on and as Karl has noticed too, it is energizing to boot.
Keep on enjoying your park to the full, it is the environment the floors came from. Hugs wilma

Ah Karl, when the heart chooses it is amazing how much energy that activity generates rather than takes.
Doing mind stuff in Beta state is extremely tiring and the contrast of being in the creative flow is amazing.
But daydreaming during work is NOT allowed, taking time off in nature is NOT showing how productive and an active citizen you are.
Over stimulation is keeping our mind firmly fed and the heart undernourished and then we wonder how we have gotten ourselves in such a mess at work and at home and do weird things as expecting employees to lie for us.
But the issue is that the heart is NOT as articulate as the mind, the heart feels rather than has eloquent reasons for its directions.
That is something we have to work around, make the heart strong so it can stand it grounds even when it can not defend its case in court as well as the mind can.
Thanks Karl for adding to the case to make the heart strong. We can sure do with that. Love Wilma

Joy, you did it again. You always leave me speechless, with your own posts and now with your comment.
You let me see the post through your eyes and I thought ‘wow’.

Yes John and I are a mini loving community and if that could spread to how we all live together, our world would be heaven which I am sure is the intention all along.
The world is too beautiful to have it as a waiting station on the way to heaven. Who wants heaven when you can see the world in all its glory from a place of love.

Deflection, yes and I am watching that as well as the mind has been too long in power and the heart can still be timid at times. But having experienced it and knowing the consequences has made me more vigilant too. Thanks though for putting that in the equation as I do have to be mindful of that.

You would love to have John there. John has built his own boat and sailed for 4 years in the Pacific, going from New Zealand via the Pacific Islands to Alaska and Mexico all on a 38 footer.
That experience in his twenties made his heart so strong that he knows how to live from being love in action. His heart never got corrupted by manufactured identities that aim to have things to have that made up identity survive.
I am so glad for that because I am getting the benefits by watching and learning.
Your story, Joy, leaves imprints on hearts, must be a sailor’s role. I loved David Lewis as well, he was inspiring as nobody’s business and so funny to boot. You have never seen a more unlikely man to do what he did, so unpractical and yet he went from adventure to adventure.
We are all going in the same direction, heaven on earth and sail on, Joy, sail on.
Lots of fair winds and hugs, Wilma.

Hey Nadia, it sure is a process and a journey of awareness increasing experiences to come to this point.
What I got to see is that at some point you have to bite the bullet and ‘go do it’ to get a feel for how it is to live this way. Nothing else will do it and that is where I got the trembling at the cliff from, because sometimes doing it made me feel that way.
But once you are getting a whiff of the flow you can do it more consciously and you know the trembling is part of it.
For me the whole exercise has definitely strengthened my heart.
I also start to realize that living this way is an inspiration, I love to read for example yours and Tess’ and many other people’s stories as they do inspire me to carry on.
And it works both ways.
By doing it and telling it, I get encouraged by the comments to keep going and soon the world will see that living from the heart is possible and wonderful as so many of us are showing it to them.
Love in action always creates a win:win and harmony and I adore that too.
Nadia, thanks so much for joining in, lots of love to you, Wilma

Hi Janice.
You are creating a mess and a miracle at the same time, wooden floors thoughout the whole house without getting insane, yummy.
And yes sing now and never ever let the mind spoil those glorious moments by thoughts of losing it.
That has been an interesting observation throughout the whole process, to enjoy the journey of life and creating beautiful things and yet being aware of letting them go with ease when the flow of life calls for that.
That has been a massive learning throughout this experience and I only really got to understand it by doing it.
Knowing how to create without attachment to the result has been so powerful.
I love that you picked that up from the story, it makes it more visible for me too.
So thanks very much for your enrichment, Janice and have lots of fun with the floors. Love Wilma

Hi Tess.
As you all can tell I am having a great time here. I too am blown away by the responses as I do feel the heart of the post is being heard and that makes me so joyful and extremely greatful to you all who are commenting.
You have no idea how this makes my heart sing, it nurtures it so much and it encourages me hugely.
So thank you all and thanks Tess for giving me this challenge.
I did spend a few sweaty days thinking and writing this, I’ll tell you.
What I am getting from what is showing up here is that for a lot of us the heart is opening up.
That means a lot as the heart is the only one who can change the world.
The mind is not capable of seeing a possibility beyond what is currently in place but the heart certainly can. I cannot wait!

Yes, love has no enemies, love commands and love attracts love.
As we are all particles of a loving source, we are love and so is everything and everybody else. So as we respond to likewise, so will everything respond to love.
It is that simple actually and yet not easily practiced in this mind dominating world. But when you do, the results are showing up like what is happening to you and your cottage.
You are such a champ like that and your book is a great testimony as well.
You rock Tess, and hey I cannot wait to have you visit us and dance together in this piece of paradise.
Thanks again Tess, and a BIG hug to you.

Hi Walter.
It sure is amazing when you let the heart guide you.
It is only then that you can see possibilities that are not accessible by the mind. It is only then that you can write awesome content .
My mind can only access probabilities and possibilities are invisible to it and too unbelievable, that makes my mind on its own a very limited ally in living a wonderful life.
So when I cannot let my heart guide me, my mind would only come up with reasons why I could NOT write that and it will only let me go for very safe content.
Cool to see that we are on the same wavelength, I sure find it encouraging.
So thanks a lot for this encouraging comment as it gives me faith that we soon will get to the 100th monkey to tip the world into a heart centered one.
Hugs to you Walter and the monkey is not meant litterally but I guess you know that

My heart did a jig, the meringue, a robust salsa and some river-dancing all simultaneously earlier today when I read the wonderful sweet blog comments that came in on my latest post. My peeps are incredible wonderful!

Also did similar happy wiggling on my walk today, which I almost skipped out of laziness. Glad I let myself once again immerse my soul in the beauty of the shocking greens now just starting to show the teeniest suspicions of muted fawn around some edges.

Here is where I get to walk!! http://www.janniefunster.com/2009/09/02/ridiculously-green-austins-ladybird-lake-hike-bike-trail/

I loves my river walks, Wilma. And your floors.

And Tess!

Last time my hear danced was when I was working on my book. The thought flowed like a raging river, my fingers had trouble keeping up. After the few hours were over I looked up and smiled. I felt like king of the world. So infused with energy.

My heart lies when I create. I love everything there is to developing ideas that will help people become happier at work.

Wilma,
My first thought was boy I wish I knew John–bet he could turn my boat to the treasure she longs to be:)
Honestly, I read your post yesterday with tears streaming down my face so I had to go. And let it be part of what I needed to process for the day.
Just as beautiful reading it again today. Love jumps out from the page/computer and is all around. I can envision the joy you have experiencing life together. The faith to step out together, the beauty you create together. My heart dances with you. Many blessings to you both….
I was touched because love stories do that to me–pull right at my heartstrings. But also because I can identify. I had that love, a gift from God. I enjoyed it for the blessing it was then deflected it. Huge lesson on being a good receiver….Today I am thankful to have experienced it and I let it guide me throughout each day.
It is my wish for every person to experience a love so strong, so enriching, so healing..the world would be a magnificently beautiful one to live in…
Thank you for sharing….and so eloquently…
Much peace:)
