And a cute little icicle whispered to me…..

Hello to all from the wonderful land of Sedona,

Oh what a treat I have had for the past 5 days, experiencing this magical place for the first time.

And what lessons seem to be flying at me thick and fast from all manner of directions.

So today, I just want to share with you the little whisper that came to me from a little icicle.

That’s right – you did read that correctly – from a little icicle.

A little icicle that was dangling from my bathroom window the very first day I arrived.At this point you may be thinking that I have lost my marbles rather quickly, having just arrived in Sedona ha ha ha. But it was rather that this little icicle inspired a thought within me, a story unfolded…….. and it went something like this:

I was rushing off to my first day of the Caroline Myss Conference @ The Enchantment Resort in Sedona and was looking out the window of my bathroom as I reached for my towel. And in this moment of rushing and reaching and fumbling, there hung the most glorious little icicle I had ever seen. I really was in awe at this icicle, as it never gets cold enough in Sydney, Australia where I live, to witness such a thing dangling from the window.

I glanced at it – turned away and started rushing off to get ready for my workshop, tripping over my shoes and banging my fingers in the drawers as I went.

But then – the little icicle called me back. Called to me and whispered my name.

It whispered in my direction: ” But Christine – I may not be here when you get back. My time is right now. I am only here for you to enjoy right now in this moment. So perhaps you should take another look at me, etch my form in your mind – and grab that photo too. Because I can not promise you that I will be here when you return. I can not wait for you. My time is now”

As this thought settled in my mind, I took note, stopped rushing, grabbed my i-phone and returned to the window. And there I stood for the next 5 minutes.

Marvelling at my little icicle.

Drinking in every part of this little icicle, as it dripped, dripped, dripped, onto the grass below.

Feeling grateful that I had stopped to enjoy this little icicle.

Then I took my photo, took my final glance –  and rushed off for my day.

About 7 hours later, I returned from Day One of my seminar and the first thing I did was race outside to greet my little icicle.

But true to her word – she had gone.

She could not wait for me to return.

Her time had come and gone and she had transformed into a little puddle of water, trickling off beautifully into the day.

And in that one precious moment  - I learned a huge life lesson.

Time truly does wait for no man….or woman.

We only have now.

You only have now.

So whatever it is that you are wanting to do, to be, to see, to become, to connect with – the time is now.

There is a natural ebb and flow to life – in all things.

There is a rhyme and reason.

There is a time and a season.

And no-one – can interfere with that.

So – #DiscoverYouLoveYouBeYou

And have a magical day

Christine
