It’s been kind of a strange day today. I had a funeral service this morning which included a fair bit of driving. It was for the mom of a lovely family, and I had done the service for their dad four years ago. There were technical difficulties to start with, but it all worked out in the end.
I have to admit that since I have mostly let go of my work as a celebrant, I have come to realize that it was the right decision for me at this time. My heart is really with the spiritual side of things with Spiritual Director training, doing talks and working with people in that realm. Doing celebrations of life has a spiritual aspect to it of course but it isn’t the same or perhaps I am not feeling as connected to it.
I was glad to get home and get into my prayer/meditation Zoom session then do the reading I still needed to do to prepare for tonight’s class. I was feeling behind somehow prior to this and I was kind of off if you know what I mean. Doing the reading and reflecting has really helped me get centered again and I also feel more prepared. I would usually have had all that done prior to the day of the class but this weekend has been a bit odd for me too, I seemed to be busy not doing a lot of anything. I am reminded yet again how important it is for me to be doing what is in my heart to do and not get all caught up in distractions.
Namaste
