Intention and Eclipse revelation.

Had to share this story because reflecting on it I realized a lot, especially after the post I made here a few weeks ago about life being rough and refinding my creative intentions (which has been going good! Wrote the 1st act of my feature film and have been writing lyrics in my notebook again!)

Our 14 year old nephew is up for the week and loves to make ghost hunting videos with Caz and I for our silly little paranormal youtube we started to find some fun while were home for the foreseeable future. (My mans mom was diagnosed with ALS and we're full-time care taking and unable to tour)

It was the night of the lunar eclipse and we had a big storm. Tornado came thru earlier that day and everything was okay but there were branches and trees down everywhere. So like silly heads, we set out to a spot near us with a windy dirt road that leads to a creepy tunnel. Well we took our big conversion van up and there was a huge tree down blocking our way through to the tunnel. We had to back the van down the windy road in the dark. I was guiding the van with a flashlight in hand and there's a beautiful waterfall we love to hang out at with a very narrow stone and dirt bridge that the falls empty into. While guiding Caswyn across the bridge, the dirt road gave out under my foot and I thought i was gonna take a little slip, I hike a lot and am used to that, but this time I kept going. I fell off and into the ravine, hitting rocks and slid straight into the rushing water. Everything changed in a second and a million thoughts went through my head during those 12 feet. The rapids were super high and I was totally submerged but got my head above water and made it to a rock where I gathered myself and realized nothing was broken! I was okay aside from a huge scratch and gnarly bruise on my thigh and a bruised hand. The best part is, somehow I kept the flashlight up and out of the water, my nephew said "I statued of liberty'd that shit"

So in reflection, and with today's meditation. Earth did catch me when I fell and the water held me and somehow, even though I fell off a bridge, my light didn't go out. We fall and can get back up and I fell hard and far, in more ways then one lately. Everything can change in a second but I felt protected.

I share this story for that reason, and yes, i'm incredibly lucky I didn't get injured or worse. And while it was scary, its given us a lot of joy to laugh about. I had on shorts, sweatpants over them and a sweater and my woodland slippers 🤣 i felt like a swamp monster emerging from the depths when I climbed out. We still made our silly video and watched the eclipse with Cazs mom at the end of the night. It was a life changing moment and I had to share 💙 even in the darkness we still hold the light, even if we fall we can get back up and Earth has our back. I also learned, we can even fall and tumble with grace and learn from it when we get back up. Love yall so much, so grateful for this community and the life we have.

Here's a photo of the bridge I fell from, and the eclipse from that night 💙
