Awakening in Nature

this was not a gentle experience...I almost got knocked out -

simply stated, it was not an "accident" in nature - it was an opportunity...

hard to imagine, maybe, but this is the truth...

The short story of it is that I was thrown in the air and landed on the ground, touching

my head to the earth in two places...with the left side of my body to follow...

As I stayed present within the experience, I had this overwhelming feeling  that I would never

be the same again...All I knew in this moment was that, I could not take this

moment, back...that I would have to deal with what lies ahead of me here...whatever it was to be.. I was scared...my head was throbbing, blood was running down my face - 

and at the same time I felt an overwhelming connection with the present moment -

Everything had slowed down within these moments - and all I could do was flow with the direction of the movement "don't panic" I heard around me...I was grateful for that... So, I took my scarf from around my neck and tied it tightly to my head to hold back the blood... and headed home, wondering how much my life was about to change...

As I healed the trauma of this experience, I could feel the places where I still needed to grow in being completely being present in each moment, as my body, and as who and what I am...

So, what is the opportunity here? The opportunity in this experience was for me to fully accept of who I am and who I can be now...my life has changed forever, yet again....and in a really fun way...
