BABY STEPS

Since moving to Saint Petersburg, my spiritual journey has been on a tear. With hindsight, I can see that I’ve been ready for this for a few years. I just needed to plant myself within a fertile environment, and the rest would take care of itself. In my first couple of weeks of being here, I bought the domain name slightlywoowoo.com, thinking that it would be fun to document my growing awareness and acceptance of all things ‘woo-woo’.

Before I had chance to think about setting up the blog, I found that I was going so far beyond the slightly part. Being an extravert by nature, I find it easy to seek out new experiences and connections, and to generally insert myself into the thick of things. What I’ve found here has been nothing short of magical, and I’ve embraced it wholeheartedly.

BABY STEPS

Baby steps
Tentatively testing
The edges and contours
Of your experience
And then going beyond

Following the drumbeat
Following the rhythm
In your head
In your heart
and in your feet

Cautiously at first
Carefully
Until confidence blooms
And you find your people
You find your tribe

Recognizing and remembering
Reconnecting and renewing
Seeing one another
Knowing one another
Cherishing each other

The world your canvas, your stage
Gift yourself permission
To color outside the lines
And seek the space between the notes
You are home, you are home
