......what time is it? have I awoken in a Dali painting? what day is it? have I just climbed out of a dali painting? - OJO -
I have been lost in time...literally and figuratively and only yesterday did I come to this realization after 7 weeks!
I offer apologies for the mixups in time and posting dates since my out of time experience.
As I sat with this confusion, I was faced with the fact that I had lost count as a Day Keeper in the Mayan tradition of time keeping that I have been following since 2007, I was in shock and disbelief. How could this have happened and when? What led me to discover the discrepancy I cannot remember, but needless to say I persevered and searched the dates in my journals until I found the exact date it all changed....this was August 12/13. More disbelief that I had gone this long without knowing it. Talk about time bubbles!
Having traced back to these dates it coincided with going into the hospital, both injured on the outside and sick internally....my body had literally crashed. This was my initial time lapse.....maybe it was the morphine? All I know now is that a day of my life was vanished and from that date I had been living a day ahead in the gregorian calendar of my journal date entries, yet they were really words written and reflected of the date before....and yet again, I was on track with the Mayan Calendar and the energy of the day. So where was I in the grander scheme of time? Essentially I was living every moment in the NOW, wether that consisted of being awake, asleep, oblivious or aware.....life became so Now oriented in all my actions that dates made no difference to my experiences. Not sure how I made it to my appointments!
It was as surreal to me as living in a Dali painting.
In retrospect I look back on how this period of time has affected my life, my choices, my relationships. There have been some hard lessons learned, some heartache, growing, loving, releasing and mostly trusting.
In relation to the overall feelings of being back on track and the newness that has sprung from this time frame of confusion, there is a genuine sense of serenity from within.
All that remains is the serenity of now....that is what must be focused on at all times.
I share this experience to all my fellow brothers and sisters who are also going through the time warps and lessons in learning to open our hearts and to completely love and trust.
