Yesterday I planned to walk from the cottage where I’m staying in Shrewton to Stonehenge – a walk of about 3.5 miles. Not so very far and mostly in a straight line. The challenge was that a good portion of it had no sidewalks and was on a very busy road that had people driving 50 mph or more.
There was no bus to take and biking would have been even more treacherous, so I decided that there would be a way to cut into the beautiful farm fields along the way and walk in safety. I was able to do it and made it just fine, but it was more challenging than I thought as I had to go over several barbed wire fences. One was about as tall as myself.
In a sense, it all seemed like familiar territory. I could have taken a taxi, but I really did like the exercise and the country is so beautiful. Walking along the canola fields abloom in all their golden glory was gorgeous. What felt familiar was a bit of danger and difficulty and being on my own. All along the way I stayed tuned into the higher self and all along the way I was safe, guided and directed. I even managed to easily get over the tallest fence. Spirit told me exactly what to do and I did it. The lower one was even more treacherous, and yet, right where Spirit led me to climb through, there was a large piece of bumper from a car, left over from an accident, stuck in the bushes – it nicely covered the barbed wire and I crossed over managing to avoid the thorny bushes as well. It was all much easier than it looked.
What I did not do was worry. What I did not do was think it would be hard. What I did not do is allow one negative thought to take up residence and become my experience.
Even on the way back, when I was taking a taxi and the taxi came quite late, and I made back to the cottage just at the last possible minute for my radio show to begin, all was well. I was locked out and someone came to help me. So many things could have gone wrong. It was a day of challenges, but I didn’t fight them. I stayed in my awareness of Divine Guidance and all turned out perfectly. I’m grateful that the old patterns of difficulty and hardship are falling away. I’m grateful to demonstrate that I can choose to keep my mind in a loving space. There are many blessings and I intend to enjoy them and share them all the way!
