If you have read these posts in sequence from the beginning you know a bit about my recent past, but I will say a bit here again for those who are entering now.
I had shared a home with my life partner for nine years. In 2005 after fifteen years she and I separated. I new eventually I would need to leave this house I had so many associations with. This house became a kind of vessel to hold all my grief. In June this year I finally emptied the house to prepare to sell it and moved into town. For over ten years I had been living a very uncreative life. Those last nine years with my partner in that home embody the height of my feeling dead inside.
I find it curious that as soon as all her and my stuff, (I still had so much of her stuff in there), was cleared out; it was like I could fall in love with my home again. I could appreciate all that home and those years had given to me and an explosion of creative impulse ensued.
I went up to the empty house on my own and started to document my saying goodbye rituals. These two videos are part of a whole series called Saying Goodbye to Home.
I would like to acknowledge and thank my life coach / feng shui/ astrologist guide. Without her coming into my home and challenging me to get rid of my x’s stuff and all un essentials, I would probably still be living up on that hill hiding from my self, life and my purpose… THANK YOU SARAH MITCHELL!!!!!!!!
