Another good night of sleep. No dogs barking and no dreams or panic attacks.
Lately I have been working on the last 2 images of hummingbirds for what I hope can become a 13 month calendar, as there will be a total of 13 new images drawn in Ecuador. This calendar would of course be part of the Hummingbird Project. I realize as I am writing this, something kind of amazing. Even on my worst days, feeling as though all has been lost, I have not given up. Deep down, even when I couldn’t think about the project, a new idea was forming in my mind. Plus the seed of an idea one year ago, became a small plant yesterday. The path of the heart continues. It was interesting to me the heart received yesterday was not one I found, but was given to me by someone I don’t really know.
This made me think the path has gained the smallest amount of momentum which led me to another idea. I encourage you to look for, find your version of the heart, or let it find you. Take a picture, remember it and let it carry you through the day, and then please share when you discover the magic. After all if you are reading my blog, we are already on the path of the heart together.
Susi stopped by this morning which was a very pleasant surprise. She brought an extra charging cable and adapters, but they were for a Samsung, the phone of choice here. Still it’s the thought and the effort that was so important for me. I did give her some money for the next time they went to the city so she could pick up a cable, but she was unsure of when that would be. I am sort of settling into my situation, and suppose it has not bothered me as much these last few days because of my involvement with the tree sculptures. I had used up precious battery life to take the photos yesterday, so am down to the last 9%.
Once again, I was shown how the thoughtfulness of another person brings life into your day, brings you joy which brings the beauty with it. It was maybe 5 – 10 minutes out of her way to stop in and see me. For me it meant all was not lost for the time remaining in quarantine, which could still be months here.
Although I become accustomed to the long hours of silence and minimal distractions, having the choice will feel good. The promise of a cable coming, even if it still weeks away, carries hope and hope is something we must not let go of.
well I just wanted to mention that I am now back on Facebook. It was a difficult decision for me, facing ghosts of my past to join up, but my friend convinced me to do so for The Hummingbird Project.
it is the perfect place for you to share your Path of the Heart photos, and the story of finding it. I would truly love it if you would…..❤️ The picture below is the one I used for my fb (Gabriel Chudleigh) page.
