Existential fog

Day 2 of my 92 day Juice Feast

'Frantically scrubbing floors and walls. I knew the raging bush fire was almost upon me but the urge to stay and cleanse my home was over powering. Finally I forced myself into the car and drove as fast as I could, my heart pounding wondering if I'd ever make it out of this nightmare.'

Then I woke abruptly, almost in a panic. And I thought to myself 'well if that's not a metaphor for cleansing mind, body and soul, rising from the ashes renewed and alive, I don't know what is.' My 92 days juice feast had started with a bang!

From the distance she could hear 'Grumpy' singing 'Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go'. No No .... Snow White was not ready to get up from her slumber. How could she face the day. Stuck in this existential mind fog, her mouth feeling as if a thousand fuzzy bunnies had invaded it overnight, a thick coating on her once pink tongue and blocked nose.

Then 'Grumpy' rang on his forest phone to tell Snow White that there was the most gorgeous fog hovering majestically around our home. He knew this was one of Snow Whites 'most favourite things'.

Dragging herself from bed she just had to get those teeth brushed quick smart. She also knew it was now time to start the journey with Grandmother Nettle.

The kettle whistled and the infusion ready to make. With her healing elixir, notebook and camera in hand Snow White ventured outside.



She was truly mesmerised by the stillness. It was that magical time between times when the light is returning. A gentle rain started to fall and the sound of the fountain trickled in the background. Gaia was showing her that fog doesn't have to be all grey and sad, it can still fill you with feelings of empowerment and clarity and the start of a great healing process.

The existential fog lifted from her head and heart. She sat sipping her nettle elixir.

Subtle messages were hers to be found all over the garden as the Spring Equinox drew closer.



Even though there were 4 gorgeous children still in dreamy land, that would be waking soon, this moment was hers to enjoy - even if for just a moment more.
