No, I won’t tell you that the grass isn’t greener on the other side. Nor that it is.

This is just a gentle invitation to “feel out” into the other side of where you are right now in your life and no longer want to be. This can be a general area of your life, like friendships, work, or spirituality, it can be a place, a person, a state of mind…

What’s on your “other side”?

Have you ever dared to fully tune into how it would feel to be there already?

Do you think it’s difficult to get there… or even impossible?

Who is waiting for you there? Who is reaching out their hand?

Who says to whom: “Oh, look… She’s coming!”?

What else do you see, feel, hear, sense?

Meditate on these questions for some moments… And then write it, describe it, paint it, share it with someone close to your soul (can be me, if you feel called to).

You don’t need to know when or how you’ll get there for now. It’s just a gentle allowing to feel into your longing…

Let life suprise you. Sometimes it knows better than we do. Leave it some room to unfold naturally, freely. Trust the path you’re longing to walk… Surrender to the timing of your soul.

I leave you with these goosebump words written by Christina Baldwin, an amazing journaling teacher, in her book “Life’s Companion”:


“Increasingly in the writing journey, there is a sense that something is calling us, naming us, inviting our arrival at a point we have always meant to be. I comprehended this one day while walking across the Golden Gate Bridge and reading about its construction: construction started on both sides, San Francisco and Marin, and the engineers worked toward the middle.

So might we, in the process of longing, dreaming, acting, start work in current reality and envision that our destination is also working its way toward us. If we don’t give up, we will be met.

It’s hard to not give up sometimes, to succumb to distraction or despair, to admit we have to set something aside and tackle other tasks first, and yet in those darker hours, if we listen carefully enough, we can hear the bridge being built from the other side.”
