This one hits the spot; the path of the heart is unreasonable. Goalposts keep changing and we must surrender to what feels right even it may seem unreasonable to the mind.

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.

This can be a series

The daily detour; following the path of the heart, navigating change with a compassionate compass of the heart chakra.

Peace and love; forge a new path; new horizons towards alignment and wholeness;

Bless your path beloved. ✨🙏🙌❤️

Thank you, dear Paolo! Your response is more beautiful than my post.

I felt myself struggling to move this week, in any direction, or to write or even read. I found it hard to put these few sentences together. Maybe I’m recharging for the chaos of December that I know is ahead...or maybe I’m afraid of the unknown.

I like your thinking: the daily or weekly detour.

I’m grateful to you always.

plunging off a cliff that isn't even there - ha ha. You've really managed to catch the sentiment of despair but with humour, my kind of humour anyhow!

Thank you! My flare for the dramatic is always present. Most especially when I’m upset. I’m like an actress in an old black and white flinging myself down the stairs.

ha ha. Fun, or at the very least cinematic if not fun! I think that description pretty much sums up every one of my posts on some level

Running to read some now!!

gosh, I am shameless but thanks Caroline. That's very mutually supportive of you. I sometimes find myself feeling a tiny bit resentful of people who never contribute when you have contributed with feedback to their writing...but I'm very possibly just an eye for an eye kind of person.

Shamelessness gets people places!!

Wonderful as always! The idea of "off-script" gives me hives. I aways think if I just stick with what I know I can predict the ending, but life has a way or throwing me curveballs... Like you said, "Just keep moving."

Thank you, Emily! I’m grateful for your readership and insightful comments ☺️

The Quakers say “Proceed as the way opens” and Glennon Doyle says, “Just do the next right thing.” Which you are obviously since you are alchemizing your detours into beautiful writing. 😊

Oh I love that! Thank you for being here ☺️❤️

Great metaphor, I can greatly relate as seasons of life have been very interesting lately. Btw, I am from DC area also, nice to meet you.

awwww there may in fact be a brief detour in my own musings on here but i will never be sidetracked from you (and the other searchers) or your journey

ps ann savage must be the sexiest name for ANY actress ever ha!

I’m here for all the journeys!!

I agree! And I think she looks a bit like Ann Sothern.

I love this Caroline. I can feel so many feelings through your writing and I so relate to this. I try to remind myself that the rigid grass breaks in the wind, while the flexible one bends and lives. 🤍

Caroline's avatar

Thank you so, Arty! Your comments always fill me with such joy. May we bend with the wind today 🤍
