Letting go is in vogue this season and maybe for the whole of 2025. If you would like to hold onto your mind and your sanity The Life Doula might just be the place for you. For those of you that have witnessed my journey you’ll know that circling the abyss is somewhat of a pastime; that somehow I seem to have taken responsibility for the human species collective shadow as a day job. Then sometimes I wonder if i have grandiose narcissism? Then other days I consider how the fuck it is that I ended up on duty at the bottom on the Abrahamic God’s mountain entirely by accident. To think that this epic chapter of my life really did start with a meeting somewhere just outside Guildford you’ve got to know the powers that be in what ever form you might worship are laughing hard at me. Not as hard as I laugh at myself often. I tell you Scottish dark humour will take you places, even at the particular version of the end of the world. Many worlds have ended and many have been created and this is but one and yet there is still a whole world within you alone. I’ve been reminiscing over The English Patient and one of it’s quotes. “Our bodies are the real maps.” As a trauma specialist, I know this acutely. How do we obliterate these imaginary colonial boundaries in out minds, in our hearts? The ones that we have drawn not just across Gaia but our great cosmic mother, we have even attempted to divide the stars you know in the hope of having some semblance of control. Luckily being human we all draw the maps of the star differently and tell their stories in our own tongues our own language all with there own meaning. Don’t you just love that about us humans?
In the meantime in the shadows of starlight I am defining my own cosmologies and I am very exited for 2025 indeed.
