Summernight
The meeting with Summernight.
You look at me with your beautiful brown eyes.
Intense and loving.
You invite me… come on over.
A bit tense, I step into the arena.
Horses are imposing creatures to me.
I didn’t grow up around horses, and a sense of awe—or even wariness—is certainly appropriate.
This tension is inside me, not you.
Feeling a bit awkward, I step into the ring. You are so beautiful.
You look at me calmly.
There is a question on my mind. One that has been occupying my thoughts for a while.
My ‘soul-wind’ is stirring.
It’s almost keeping me up at night.
During the heatwave, I was having a ‘poor me’ kind of day.
Or at least, I felt sorry for myself—you know the feeling: ‘boo-hoo’…
I step into the arena with you, carrying this question.
I am at a turning point.
It’s quite fitting, then, that I’m with the ‘Turning Point’ coach of the Netherlands.
I stand there and sense the space. It feels right here.
Is that really true?
You keep looking at me, calm and intense.
The arena is divided into two sections by a rope.
The coach removes the rope and says, ‘Summernight has invited you; take her to the other side.’
I look at Summernight and ask, ‘Will you come with me?’
She walks calmly to the other side and chooses her spot in the arena.
The other two horses join Summernight as well.
I stand there, amazed.
I had noticed them, of course, but my focus had been entirely on Summernight.
The coach says: ‘What if you have everything? Your focus is on one thing, and you don’t see the rest.’
HIT THE MARK!
I can feel it; my whole body is starting to tingle. What is this?
Everything? That is an awful lot! Is that allowed? Is it even possible?
Summernight looks at me and walks a short distance away.
One by one, the other two horses come over to me. Curious and calm.
Everything resonates, and I think to myself: How? Even more choices, am I allowed to do this? Can I?
Astonished and deeply moved, I stand there, watching, observing, and feeling.
Stay true to your core!
I invite them to join me on the other side of the arena, and they follow along.
They gather in a corner, while Summernight watches me from a short distance away. It feels right. There is an unspoken connection.
We talk and reflect a little more…
The next day.
Summernight, I can see your eyes before me. I feel it deep within.
You reached out to my soul, my core.
Life—♥—soul: everything is interconnected.
Attention and reflection.
My whole body is tingling.
YES, I say. YES, everything is allowed. Everything is possible! What is “everything”? Everything is the journey of life.
The issues that arise along the way. Everything comes together. Anything is possible.
Whatever you give your attention to, grows.
So it can be about anything… loss, grief, opportunities, feeling stuck, reflection—whatever it may be. No matter how big. Being true to who you are and who you want to be…
Feeling where the flow can return, rather than just thinking.
NEW VITALITY.
Thank you, Summernight.
