Now

I haven’t posted anything on here for a while, as clearly demonstrated by the time stamp on the last post…… I have been ruminating on that tonight, and now here I am. Life got very busy for a few months, after I decided I was going to start The Great North Walk, from Sydney to Newcastle, approx 260 kms. I had been doing quite a bit of walking, and on these random travels, I kept crossing and joining/leaving this Great North Walk. Skip to the end, I decided I was going to do it, and I was going to do it to raise awareness of Cauda Equina Syndrome – not to the whole world, but to the people who need to know about it, the people in the ‘danger zone’. Many questions ensued from outside influences; are you doing it all at once?; today?; how long is it going to take?: when will you finish it?; rah rah rah….. (oh and my favourite – why would you even bother doing that? (massive paraphrasing there!). And from this wandering and pondering came the idea of long walk as metaphor for the epic journey of life post CES surgery…….. no, you can’t do it all at once; no not TODAY!; I don’t know how long it will take me (to heal); I don’t know when I will finish; ……… or, from this view point, if I ever will. But of course I will!!! Eyes forward and all that. So I walked 100 Kms, and 32 mtrs!! That was from Sydney Cove to Brooklyn, over a series of 10 walks, made the facebook page that no-one looks at…. blah blah blah………. then kinda got stuck. Still there really, but waiting patiently to continue. Many things conspired to stop me in my tracks, confusing water crossings, where to start next, need of a support team and better pack / equipment, snakes, danger of death, remote (ish) areas, unexpected nerve / genital pain when walking (literally, per step!), inclement weather, BUSHFIRES now!!! And of course, reality. Having to make money and all that.

And making headway in healing. Staying consistent with weekly stool softner and daily Metamucil (fibre) is helping with digestive process. Also, picked up a Smokey Quartz crystal this week later to discover it is good with helping ‘elimination’, to surprising results!! And I think this is part of why I haven’t posted for so long, on any of my pages, because life’s pretty bloody good, despite the apparent blockages, health is fairly on the level…. energy is flowing, just into different places for now.

I will get back to The Great North Walk, I don’t know when, but I know it is a great project for me, and a great platform for healing.

Meantime if you are interested check out my Facebook page (also not up to date because technology has been a bit……. uncooperative) (I’ll get onto it)…..
