My recent trip to Port Douglas was a little different this time.
This visit rather than spending my mornings walking on the beautiful Four Mile beach and connecting with the water (I’m a Pisces and a Water Rat in TCM) I felt the strong call from the land.
Exploring and revisiting this beautiful feminine landscape, the tablelands, the mountains, the rainforest.
The journey was inward. A remembrance.
A subtle and quiet whispering that asked me to listen.
Pay attention, I have something to tell you.
A celebration of 40 years of friendship with the one person who knows how to help me make sense of my inner world with a simple sentence, a laugh, a presence.
We visited the hospital where I became a Mum 20 years ago this year.
A midwifery hospital where she was present to hold and witness Phoenix entering the world.
Where the Phoenix energy within me was born.
A papaya farm.
A cacao farm.
Exploring, honouring, listening, remembering.
Reverence for the land that held me as I birthed my daughter.
Feeling immense gratitude for the 25 years that this land has held me.
Returning again and again, old versions left behind.
A rebirthing that takes place each time.
The Phoenix rising once again.
This land has said yes.
