On The Radio

I had a brief interview slot on BBC Radio Somerset today, to promote the Bower Hinton Bike Ride. Imagine my surprise when the interview didn't really touch on the bike ride in any depth, but rather discussed my spiritual path. I was both amazed and thrilled! I was aware that people listening may well be experiencing a sense of spiritual hunger, so I was wanting to connect with anyone who would perhaps describe themselves as a 'seeker' and somehow point them in the right direction. Encouraging people to get out and walk the land and connect with Nature in the now, in the moment, seemed the best and most appropriate way. I was really pleased that I was invited to enlarge on this, and was able to talk about connecting with The All. It was both a surprise and a joy.

I'm not used to this kind of thing, and I know I could have done better, but if you want to listen to my brief conversation, BBC Radio Somerset do a Listen Again feature. I don't know how long this link will be active, but if you're quick and click on the 'Morning Jo' link below, and then forward to roughly 2.40 you will hear me come on just after The Bangles!

Hope you enjoy it!

I Am My Path

I'm at a place of taking stock after a period of stepping back and evaluating. I've clearly been led into a still quiet place for a reason, and I think, quite simply, that part of the reason, possibly even the majority of it, is to show me not just that such a place exists, but that I am able to enter it. That me, who has such a chattering mind, can enter this still quiet place and commune with Spirit and with myself. This place allows me to survey where I am and where I am going, but with the focus not on results, not on purpose, but on a sense of 'being.' This is not, however, a place of inactivity, on the contrary, it is a place of discovery, a place of deep and profound spiritual experience. It is where my being, my true self, is able to begin the journey of discovering my dynamic nature and where I begin to take steps on the process of coming to know and understand my own True Will, my True Self. I'm seeing this as a process, and not an event - it's a path, a journey, a process of continual discovery. It's not about what I do, it's not about what I achieve, it's not about the result, it's about 'being' and understanding how my true Nature manifests in my life. I sense also a kind of alignment, that is, the more time I spend in communion with Spirit the more I gain glimpses, a deeper appreciation of my true self - my course, my path - because I am my path.
