The journey thus far

From the workshop, found that it is not that easy to put a story together. the realistic side keeps popping up making the distancing not so appropriate. too close. taping the story was a challenge, the video taping is yet to come.
after the tutorials and getting started on the 6 parts story the need to tailor the story to fit everybody's input proofed not easy but workable. Drawing the card seemed a confirmation to just carry on and the sense of adventure returns. in fact there was a warm feeling on reviewing the card. also notice there was a small figure diving off the fall into the pool.
Talking about the inner voice, reminded me of my question ' how do I know it's my inner voice and not just my thoughts/ego?' years ago my personal guide told me, 'if it is, you will know; if there is more then one voice, the one that seem most not you is most likely the right one. just listen carefully and your heart will pick the right one.'for that I thank Clyde.
as our story develops the message unfolds. lead by the pure sound of the waterfall in the mist of the storm, diving in to get in touch with the shadow, singing to soothe and keep it in place, acknowledging it's presence daily. raising to the task and finding the unicorn, enjoying the ability to be. the dove and the lady sharing the joy and holding the peace was more like 'The hold on to the world lady', sort of feel more of a drag, having to sing at the drop of the hat.
The building up of the Legend of Dragonville took more online meets then anticipated. I was definitely the special needs child here. Help from the IT savvy and more able left me with both feeling good and not so good; good in that i am learning a little and there is help available, not so good in so far as the limits of my contribution to the success story. I am still resisting getting my own internet connection and making my laptop a nomad
From the 2 1/2 tutorial I wandered into cheng and realize I am holding firmly to the part of me that I have so far refused to change. Facing the consequences and keeping true to my right of choice. when the choice to let go and welcome the version (like using Vista instead of XP)is yet something for the future.
The journey continues...

Today - aug 28, Glad not connected to internet, would be up all night online otherwise. from the one word CHOICE, I traveled to different areas like join, peace and lost of the quiet trail. The path leading to low maintenance, using only the needed and shading the wants is now full of extras that increase with time. I now am left to find an answer to my old question, Is attending to the here and now enough?.
Acknowledged fact: stubborn and lazy. Stirred to seek out a story for self.
May even have had the skeleton if only I can remember what flashed through last nite.

The sound from the lake

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful lady, Gwen, who stayed near to Lake Dragon. She was a pretty, sweet and generous person. In the lake, there was a black dragon that stayed deep in the lake. Gwen was elected the carer of the dragon for the year. She worries that she may not be up to the task, which sometimes leaves her sad.
Lake Dragon was surrounded by the most harmonious mountain which was created and nurtured by GOD of TATA who is also called GOD of Protection. Besides, protecting the mountain and the land where Clare stayed, he also kept an eye to the spell casted on the Black Dragon from being broken whereby disaster will be fallen to the land. Clare, has taken over from her ancestor as a Guardian of the Black Dragon. Each evening without failed, she have to sing a song to the Black Dragon in order to comfort it and continued sleeping. According to the village legend, if she happen to fail, then bad disaster will falls to their village
Up in the cave lived the cantankerous cross-eyed witch, she comes out at every opportunity to cast her spell over the valley of serenity. What she likes most is to spread a mist so thick and so foggy that Clare/Gwen can’t see her way to the lake.
the sound of the water fall would lead her in the direction of the lake so she could get there to sing. 2nd nature to follow the sound of water as that is her normal lead.
As Gwen went on singing, louder and louder, the song sounded sweeter and sweeter. Gwen oblivious to the storm, focused on the pure sound of the water as a guide, continued singing on and on when out of the blue the unicorn appeared with a flash of lightning. Then all is calm and dragonville and Gwen could rest for another day. The Unicorn was such an inspiration and sign of confirmation that Gwen no longer douthed her ability and was so confident of her singing that she sang with all her heart.

The joy spread to the village and peace settled in. Gwen would now sing at the drop of the hat and that keeps the dragon asleep and calm.
