The Log in The Lake
An Energy Sourcing Story + Eclipse Intel
A few days ago, a massive log floated in underneath my dock. It got lodged in super tightly underneath a box that holds key equipment and hemmed in by the wooden ladder and the rock retaining wall.
As you may know from other shares, I live on a magical Lake which called me to live here a few years ago. In fact my 3 year anniversary of moving here into Lake House 2 was just the other day! (A very fun story if you have an interest in magical happenings in the basics of human living:)
I capitalize Lake when I speak of it because it is a deeply sentient presence for me. It is a collective that coalesces into a shared voice to speak with me. So I capitalize Lake as I would your name.
Back to the log… I told my landlord about it and that I could probably move it out on my own if he was okay with that. (Per the shared story above, I am not yet settled into my permanent homeland, but am renting where I am instructed to be for shorter periods.)
He advised me to try it only when the water was calm and that he’d be happy to send his son over to do it as he was out of town til mid-April. He definitely didn’t want me to get squashed against the rock wall by the giant log! Me neither! 🤣
I felt like I could handle it versus someone making the trek out here and said I’d keep him updated. I also felt it made sense given I get in that water most days, whereas others would find doing so a terrible idea (my landlord routinely pokes at me for this practice, which he finds mystifying BWAHAHA 😂).
Of course, it then got windy so the water has been too rough the past few days. I was worried it would cause the log to batter on the wooden equipment box and/or damage the big wooden ladder I use to get down into the water for morning Lake dip (🥶🥶🥶 most of the year, right now it’s low 40s F/5C).
The log stayed firmly in place, though, causing no damage.
This morning, it seemed mellow enough for me to try to move it.
I hopped into the water in my suit like usual. It seemed extra cold after having missed a couple of days!
I was able to push from one end now firmly lodged up and into the rocks and get the log moving a bit the other direction. Because there is another dock nearby, I didn’t want to get it moving too fast and get it stuck in my neighbor’s dock.
It had to be guided carefully under the wooden equipment box and kept straight so it wouldn’t smash into the ladder.
Then I ducked under the dock ramp to the other side where it was still moving and I worked to get it under some control and to start turning out from parallel to the rock wall to perpendicular so I could hopefully shove it back out towards the middle of the Lake.
This didn’t go quite as smoothly as I would have liked but I did get it shoved out.
Unfortunately, with the wind creating an active but somewhat mild current, the water brought the log back into my dock instead of continuing out to the middle.
DRAT.
I’d hopped out of the water already because 🥶🥶🥶 and my skin and hands were hurting from the cold.
But I’d stayed to watch the progress while bundled in my towel and snuggly jacket I always wear down to the lawn for plunging, so I saw the fail and realized the new position could make it easier for me to get out there if I hopped back in right away.
EEP.
Of course I went back in and I was able to get the better angle this time and therefore create an even more effective shoving momentum and the log was on its way past my dock!
At this point, you may be wondering why I am telling you this story. Like, nice story Melanie, but was this really worth sending me an email about?
GREAT QUESTION.
Here is why I wanted to share this.
As soon as I began working on the log, I felt keenly aware of how massive it was. How heavy it was. How impossible for me to move it unless it was floating.
Do you see where this is going yet?
What in your life feels heavy and immovable?
You can give it buoyancy by accessing and embodying more of your own energy.
How much of your energy are you actually embodying?
Where are you sending your energy away from you in ways that are not useful? Not asked for? Not resonant with that energy?
A massive opportunity (of many) from this eclipse that just occurred in the early hours today is to reclaim and call back your own energy.
Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible.
The heavy becomes manageable.
And, perhaps, even the difficult becomes EASY.
In the buoyancy of YOU, what becomes available now?
Also vital to this process of generating inner buoyancy is attending to your own inner waters. Molecularly you are 99% water. How vibrant and structured and healthy and free flowing are your own waters?
The waters will be free, as I’ve said many times over the years. True for Earth as a requisite component of her evolutionary journey and true for you in your own journey into Homo Lumens (the only form of humanity that will ultimately remain with Earth as she journeys her path).
Remember that we are moving through a 4:1:4 transformation currently, as I’ve shared previously.
I felt this eclipse as the singularity point of it.
We start sliding out the other side now into the new 4 which completes April 14.
Visualize two square-based pyramids joined at their point:
The energy on this side of the eclipse feels incredibly SWEET and high and gentle. It asks you to surrender yourself to it. To float in it.
I hope that you’ll say yes.
I love you.
