Welcome,
Once again, the magic of synchronicity has revealed itself.
Early in March this year the long-lost wreck of the wooden ship Endurance was found, after being lost for over a hundred years, where it sank in the Weddell Sea in the Antarctic in 1915. It was crushed by ice and the 28 men on board were stranded for well over a year before Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley and four others of the stranded men realised that no rescue would happen and so they courageously set out in a 22-foot lifeboat for South Georgia Island, 800 miles away, where there was a whaling station.
After a treacherous journey, taking 16 days, they finally arrived. It took four months and a 4th attempt to finally rescue the remaining twenty two stranded men from their floating ice ‘prison’. All the men survived after having endured freezing weather, limited supplies and very makeshift shelter for so long – and yet they never gave up hope! It has always inspired future generations.
Not long after the amazing discovery of this aptly named ship this year, Russia invaded the Ukraine and once again much endurance is needed by all those caught up in this tragedy.
The grace of endurance by many is an incredibly powerful gift. Our personal endurance contributes to the collective endurance.
Nearly all of us, at some time in our journey, have needed to be strong and experience some form of endurance. This has been most evident during the past two years with Covid-19 playing a big part in our lives.
Many people are fragile and can no longer find joy in their circumstances. Remember we are in the discomfort of transformation and lovely, new and beautiful energy is coming in on the planet.
Be gentle on yourself and find activities (perhaps simple ones) that do give you joy and at the same time can contribute to other people’s joy and comfort.
Become more of the shining light that you truly are.
With love,
Merriene
