Deviation from divine intuition or coincidence...

Have you ever made a choice—one that felt undeniably right in the moment—but then second-guessed it? You hesitated, reasoned your way out of it, chose differently, only to realise later that your first instinct had been the right one all along?

It’s a common experience, & yet we do this more than we think. We override our natural instincts, our inner knowing, our deepest sense of alignment. And when we do, we create small, almost imperceptible deviations—at first. But over time, those small shifts accumulate, & we find ourselves disconnected from our natural flow.

In nature, there’s a law called Benford’s Law—a mathematical pattern found everywhere, from the lengths of rivers to the structure of galaxies, from financial records to even the verses of religious texts. This pattern emerges when things are untouched, organic, & unmanipulated. But when something is tampered with—when people interfere, change, or alter the natural course—the pattern shifts, & the deviation becomes visible.

And isn’t that what has happened to us? We were born into a world that had already second-guessed itself, built on choices that may not have been entirely aligned with what was natural, intuitive, or true. Over centuries, institutions, doctrines, societal expectations, & rigid systems of belief have subtly led us away from ourselves. Away from instinct. Away from inner wisdom. Away from flow.

Yet, we are always seeking our way back. Through moments of clarity. Through practices of stillness. Through questioning everything we’ve been told & listening to what we already know within.

The journey back to ourselves is not about rebellion. It is about realignment. A return to what was always there before we were told to doubt it. Before we learned to hesitate. Before, we were conditioned to stray from our own natural pattern.

We are realising that perhaps the way forward is not about forcing our way ahead, but about undoing—about removing the interference, noise & allowing ourselves to step back into rhythm with what was always meant to be.

Let's listen to our intuition more. When we do this, we create such capacity to thrive.

Oh, how vast are the opportunities expanded from the universe, our inner verse.

At face value, life is simple. We perceive it as it comes—moment by moment. But then the layers appear.

Our minds begin to weave meaning, drawing from past experiences and projecting potential futures:
Is this a threat?
Is it safe?
Could it become a threat?
How do I protect myself right now?

And so, simplicity becomes tangled in complexity. We’ve all heard it before: “Some things aren’t that deep.” But if we sit with it long enough, even the simplest things often reveal their depths.

Take a sweet bite of an apple. On the surface, it’s a moment of joy, delight & nourishment. But behind it lies a web of stories—the tree it grew from, the hands that picked it, the earth it came from, the joy it stirs in us. Even the simplest actions carry a quiet complexity.

Small talk, for example, might feel surface-level. Yet even it tells a story—about connections, about unspoken emotions, about a shared humanity.

But here’s the thing: why must we choose between surface simplicity & deep complexity? What if there’s another option?

What if, by embracing the depth, we allow it to settle? What if, beyond the philosophical weight of complexity, we find something greater—pure simplicity?

Pure simplicity isn’t ignorance of the depth. It’s the wisdom of understanding the layers & letting them rest. It’s savouring the apple, knowing the stories it carries, yet simply enjoying the sweetness of the bite.

It’s reaching a point where complexity no longer weighs us down, where understanding becomes contentment. It’s the moment when the soul exhales and everything feels okay.

Pure simplicity is not shallow. It’s the deep stillness of a soul that has seen the complexity, embraced it, & let it be. It’s not about reducing life but expanding your capacity to hold it all—and resting in the beauty of it.

Let it settle. Let it be. Find your pure simplicity.

We all go astray & become a little wayward, some of us a lot...

This certainly begins to happen the more experience we gain. The more we begin to intellectualise things. The more smart we think we are.

There's it again, thinking.

When your heart & intuition tell you, go speak to that stranger in the coffee shop.

Before we act on it, we begin to think immediately.

What will I say
What would they think
I don't think I'm in the mood
I got rejected before
Some people are so rude

And the list can go on, the thinking can go on. Before we know it, we have our coffee & leave, or they leave. We may have missed a vital connection or lesson, a little nudge in our path.

How many times did we think we knew better because of past experiences ignoring our divine interventions. Our regular chats with the higher power, downloading this information right from your soul to your consciousness.

If all the noise & the smarts we perceive of ourselves could quiet a bit, who speaks then? Do you listen?

When was the last time you actually listened before you began thinking yourself into complications?

We think our cups are empty & we need to fill it with all these good things we must find externally, but maybe we're walking around with our cups overflowing, unable to be open to the new. Unable to see every experience as an opportunity to live your purpose every single day & not 1 day or some day.

So empty your cup & make space to receive.

Overflowing with intellect, perceived wisdom from experiences & smarts leaves no space for that new leaf, or fresh page or a new day, yeah...

A mother's heart...

Ars struggles a little bit with his chest & is on an inhaler that truly helps him be able to do justice with his energy & not be hindered.

It's also allergy related, so windy days are days that I know are so beneficial to the land, but they are days my anxiety gets the better of me.

As I navigate this tremendous love in my mother's heart, I realise that the fears of mortality & illness are birthed from a protective sometimes overpowering love.

Remember the first you acknowledged that little heart beat on the monitor, that life within your womb, or the little human God sent you, in whichever way He felt you should be a mother, in your arms for the first time.

And you felt Smeagol appear within your depth whispering...

Mine...

My precious...

Kidding 🤣

Maybe not.

But same ish, yeah?

Ah, my heart scatters in so many pieces when I see my kids heading for the sickies. Knowing I cannot fix it. I can only responsibly medicate, do doctor visits to gain clarity & offer all the comfort care & sometimes doing what's best for them even though they may not want to.

It's quite a tough breaking experience. It's one where we are forced to release control once again, to mute that deep love a little & allow them to be held in a fate beyond our power.

Then, after a few of those, you realise that their whole lives will be a series of us letting go, gently, slowly, little by little, experience by experience.

A love so fierce & protecting moulding into something warm & guiding. A holding space, a space to call home, a space to always come back to. A space that never suffocates.

When we miss the cues of release in full control or the illusion of it, we dabble in suffocating overprotectiveness, yeah.

When the magnitude of that love first hits some & sometimes it scares the sh out of them, that they run from it & never look back. It's a reality that those who embrace it can find hard to understand.

It's a profound responsibility to love a child, to raise one, to guide one & to nurture one within the nature you've shared with them and the nature of their ancestors that they carry...

Ah, the human experience.

What magic and chaos intertwined.

Looking back at our past & wanting to heal those unconscious programs coded into our behavior & mental states should not be about blame. We shouldn't be searching for someone to blame for the consequences we live with & are trying to heal. Blame only leads to the need for accountability & forgiveness with another party we have no control of.

When we look back to understand why these consequences exist & why they steer us in certain harmful directions, we can then take accountability for ourselves. We can take full control of our own well-being.

We can choose a new path by breaking the loops & cycles of the past, the ones that were unconscious & hidden in the unknown. When we visit the past to understand ourselves & focus on our well-being, everyone else involved sometimes becomes irrelevant.

It's the experience & the repercussions on us that we address, sit with, & understand. Then we can tell ourselves: we're not 5, or 12, or 16, or 21 anymore. We know differently now. We can forgive ourselves & give ourselves love, grace, affection, & understanding. We can listen to that younger self & assure them that they can rest safely now, as we take the steering wheel.

It is not to say that sometimes this journey won't need confrontations. And when you are done healing for yourself, you will own those confrontations without any need for reciprocation but with an understanding of what you need & what you can control.

From here, we move forward with understanding for ourselves, not with vengeance or blame that leaves the control of our healing in the hands of those who contributed to our traumas in the first place.

It's also at times difficult when it is about parents, right? It's not always that we hate them if they played a role in some things. Sometimes we do hate & that's a personal journey that those who sit with that hurt have to take for themselves.

Ultimately, we might realize that they, too, are human, & while their choices may not be our own now, the accountability we need is something we can take back for ourselves. Parents may reach to understand that we may not be looking to blame them or paint them in negativity, but we reach to understand better...
