My Heterosexual lifemate, kindred, #1 bitch and ho, Katie Pie, k8 of the lore, Don Hiltz, and also known as wifey has ran away from home. I woke up this morning wishing I could too. We all have different reasons for needing a break from our lives. Sometimes it is a celebratory vacation such as a honeymoon or a birthday trip. A business trip with a couple of days tacked on the end, these are planned vacations when yes we are away from home but that is simply because we have a destination. In this case of pack a bag and leave for an extended amount of time with no responsibilities and no one to answer to or care for, it is more about the leaving and less about the destination.
We all have something in life we are good at, some call it a hobby, a passion, our calling. For those of us who have designed our lives around our passion what happens when we lose our passion for our passion? What happens when what we've created for ourselves and those around us becomes something we have to do instead of something we want to do? Sometimes outside forces change our scenario, things shift without our effort and the readjustment period can be uncomfortable. Sometimes we hit plateaus and it might take us a while to break them or choose to climb down and pick another hill.
Running away from home can give us another perspective, give us a chance to see things from afar, what and who do we miss? It can help us see where we might have been neglectful or the opposite, putting energies into areas with no return. Is it possible to runaway from home without actually running away? What exercises of the mind and body could we engage to give us perspective?
My Katie Pie ran away for home she packed a bag and hit the road. I believe we are sisters on this path of life because no matter how different we are in sooooo many aspects of our lives we are at our soul struggling similarly. She is in the road, I am home, both rediscovering, exploring, making anew, breathing, breaking, struggling, living.
What passions have you lost touch with?
What passions are you cultivating?
Where do you put your energies, is that working for you?
