Happy New Year

 
I have been looking for a meaningful word for 2013.
There are so many great words to focus on.
The other day I went for a meditative walk, asking for one word,
one wild word that resonated within me.
then.
A bird swooped down and "cawed."
My heart heard the message....
something connected with my essence.
but  is that word
Caw?
 
More than a word it is a feeling and desire
to deeply connect with
the natural world
to listen to my heart
and pay attention to the sounds and symbols
 from the wilderness
 
~
I have chosen the word:
trueheart
~
my love
and best wishes
Happy New Year to you all.

  4. Wonderful choice. And how do you know that Caw doesn't mean Trueheart in that birds language? I'm sure it must since it came to you in this way. Besides, anything that has the word or essence of the heart in it is good.

    Peace

  7. Last year I actually did a PREFIX! ("RE" as in retire, renew, rebirth, etc.).

    This year I am doing a short phrase....LESS IS MORE....as I pare down, sort out and get ready this next part of life.

  9. Gemma: "trueheart" being in nature-really being there, not just passing through- can provide a profound sense of peace and belonging.
    Wish you peace love and happiness as you journey through this New Year!
    love and light Anna

    You will have to be there in the desert for us both as I chose this year to listen to my inner voice and NOT travel to Az for a winter hiatus.Hogie will- the month of March only. Many reason why I stay home to experience my first Canadain winter in five years.
    My chosen word for this year is "happiness"
