A distorted evening picture of an entrance to a building, an unclear image of a reality distant in the past. A familiar story for anyone alive today. An image faint and yet very much clear in the collective memory distorted by time and age.
Today this warped image of a memory best represents the thoughts that are surfacing today for the blog. I guess the experience of the day and the discussions I had today are leading me to observe once more how as human beings we can be so far from the truth due to the distortions of our very own perceptions and beliefs.
Today I had two encounters with clients that left me wondering how much of a warped reality we all live in. In both situations traumatic events have clouded the observations of the speakers and they both experience the word through those lenses, almost like how my camera on my mobile failed to capture the accurate picture of this building. The saddest part for these clients is that their family are also under the false pretence that just because it is not happening to them the experience of the other person does not matter. In my encounters with the clients I had to validate their reality, I was the observer who was able to recognise their emotional hurt, their pain, their sorrow at how their nearest and dearest could not offer. Both clients feel unheard and not seen by their loved ones and in their lonely experience they are fighting every day to survive the onslaught of thoughts and feelings. They are trying to function in something that must feel like tar like environments, where no matter how much the move they feeling trapped. Interestingly with one of the clients their family member was in the meeting and this person said it outright that my client’s experience is just that their experience and therefore it was affecting them. At this point the client was trying to explain how they felt unheard and unseen, and then the family member invalidated them, their views and wishes were dismissed and were gaslighted.
As I was listening to my clients’ story today, I could not help but wonder how much they were only one thought away from checking themselves out of this world, how their inner world is crumbling on a day to day basis and yet they rise the next day like a phoenix from the ashes. I could not help but be humbled by the fact that they were allowing me into their world and sharing with me bravely what was taking place in their mind. I could not help but want to give them a hug and making them feel whole again. I could not help but be grateful that I could be the anchor they need at this point in their lives.
I am also wondering how many of you my dear readers may be needing an anchor for your difficult moments?
Actually, who is your anchor?
Who do you check in with when you find yourself stuck in quicksand?
Who do you reach out to for clarity and a reality check?
For me this week was about providing the anchor for many of my clients at moments when perhaps they felt lost in their thoughts and feelings, and to some degree they too are an anchor for me, to help me realise that actually where we are meant to be at the right place at the right time. There is no such a thing as luck, there is just an opportunity to experience the grandness of the source, and synchronicity. We are indeed where we are all meant to be.
If you need to, reach out to your anchor and reconnect, you are not alone, you are loved and you matter.
Time to take out your diary and take some notes when answering the questions.

The Path to Self Discovery 365 daily blog that I wrote from January 2021 to January 2022 will remain accessible on my website for as long as the website remains active.
On this day in 2021 marked the 265th day since I started writing the daily blogs on Patreon. On January of 2021 I made a commitment to use one image a day and write an entry inspired by that image to help us explore the inner and the outer world. As of today, we are counting down the remainder of the 100 days of the one year long daily project. If you find the blog entries inspirational why not become a Patron.
Do join in with the discussion, or perhaps comment or share the entries if you think someone will benefit from reading it.
Thank you for your journey with me on this amazing spaceship called Earth. You are where you are meant to be, you matter, you are loved.
