The weather is so much more than fair this week. And we are facing it not only this weekend but many days yet to come.
At my sacred spot on Mother Earth, there is domestic bliss. My 82-year-old father is here for the week.
We got an extra day together due to my friend for life who offered to drive my father home. So he didn´t have to travel by train for many hours and through cities with Corona problems.
I´m so grateful because the Corona-virus is on the hunt again in Denmark. They are discussing right now whether to re-open further or take several steps back.
I´m tired of watching stupid people doing stupid things and behaving irresponsibly. And I don´t need the world outside any closer than it already is.
My anxiety is under strict control. But I have this gut feeling that change again-again is more immediate than I like to think about.
Therefore, I´m extra careful diverting my Self from all the trouble and bullshit, pardon my French, that is happening everywhere in the outside world right now.
We have been outside in the yard, the temperature now at app. 30 degrees Celsius (too hot for me today to write it for Fahrenheit as well). coffee in the cups, and a feeling of shared ultimate content and happiness.
Now, we ate inside, my father and my husband watch a TV show about survival in the wilderness, and I think about my present work with witchcraft.
These days, I work in-depth with the many goddesses worldwide. And I notice the similarities more than the differences. Notably, because it is a common heritage if we could only cooperate as human beings and animals as well.
In my view, a fitting occupation when the world is getting crazier by the day, hour by hour. I fight extremely hard with my anxiety today. I use all strategies available.
I´m pretty sensitive today. I have an inner gut feeling that the press conferences will dominate the agenda sometime very soon. My father watches the news more than I´m used to now.
So it hits me right in body, mind, and soul to watch and to listen to what is going on in the world. I try to divert myself as much as possible, but I feel an increase in my inner stress level.
My counselor told me to take a few days off. Tomorrow, when my father has left, I plan to enjoy a long cooling bath, eat something delicious, and preferably do nothing but binge-watching a TV series.
I also have the postponed Lammas ritual to work with Sunday, so I do something I love. I work with deities in witchcraft, and I write about it. It feels like therapy, and it helps me get through the tough days.
And with a heatwave in Denmark with an increase in the growth of the Corona-virus, every scenario seems possible.
So I prepare myself for a longer period of time with restrictions and voluntary isolation. I will never get used to it for it snarls at my front door, the outside world with only a window between it and I.
Inside my home and my garden, only our rules matter. No outside influence will be allowed to interfere in anything here. Only what we need to do in public has changed our daily life.
Another routine to learn and to master. This is how I remain sane in all this mess. To cut every task down to little projects rather than doing everything and all at once.
My plate is perfectly full already, thank you dear Universe. So my goal is to take the big projects and issues and change them into little tasks when you are doing something anyway.
That way, even the dull tasks disappear almost by themselves.
A visit is a special thing in this era. But it also feels good when it is almost over again. It is great to be alone from app. 2 o´clock tomorrow afternoon.
For now, I will return to the remains of my father´s visit, wishing you, dear readers and followers a pleasant weekend and a hopefully awesome week.
