It was my birthday a few days back… Unlike many women, I absolutely LOVE my birthday!!! To me it is the best day of the year!!! It was the day that I came into this physical world to experience through my senses, thoughts and emotions, what life has to offer! It is the grandest of all adventures!
It has been suggested that God created us so that he can experience himself/herself/their selves (which ever suits your belief). And I feel so honored to be one of the billions. And my birthday is the first day of my adventurous journey of the outside (of my mother’s womb) world.
My birthday this year triggered me to start this blog… Although I love my birthdays and rejoice every moment of it, after the age of twenty five, I have somehow forgotten my age and I think, no, rather I KNOW myself to be ageless. I notice sometimes when someone asks me my age…usually I tell them that I am ageless and then if they insist, then I usually have to make a conscious effort to remember my age.. Sometimes it is accurate, sometimes even older and sometime younger. However never with the intentions of deception of getting the other to think that I am younger than my age..Perhaps age to me, is how I feel at that moment.. Nevertheless, I will never want to turn back the clock and go back to the past for any reason!
I love the wisdom that I had acquired through living through the years and experiencing life. And I have to admit and am ever so grateful for such an interesting, wonderful life that I have had so far. My life has been rich. Filled with dance, music, art, the wonderful world of academia and contemplation. It is filled in beauty everywhere I look…or perhaps it is my perception… either way, it is beauty I see and experience. Most importantly, I am surrounded with wonderful people. Beginning with my parents who have been always there for me. My siblings – (although they can be a pain sometime, as one may expect ) extended family, friends who are my soul mates, wonderful colleagues and often wonderful strangers.
I love the work that I do… dramatherapy, which is actually psychotherapy using creative arts- mainly drama, as its tool to help with the process of transformation. I love that it keeps me in contact with the word of artists as well as healers. Recently I have started lecturing Psychology again in a local university, where I incorporate dramatherapy techniques into the lectures. The students are more involved in the process of learning compared to a regular lecture format. I think art is healing, but that is another topic. You can check out my other blog creativemovements@blogspot.com for more information of my work.
In this blog I intend to write about my musing about my life. I usually do it anyway, in my journal. Now after all the musings I have done all these years on my own, I feel that from now on, I am ready to share my musing with others who may perhaps benefit in some way….
