And Does the Crow ever Sleep?



Recently I went through a period of deep anxiety and sadness, so much so that I began to have bouts of insomnia.

Insomnia is a condition that affects a third of the British population, according to this NHS website On Insomnia and can be brought on by depression, hormone inbalance, allopathic drugs and all sorts of external stimuli and other causes such as laid out Here.

Whilst going through this period, my attitude of reaching out to other’s never faltered and was my saving grace. How could I ignore the needs of someone else that were greater than mine? It seemed unthinkable.

During the healing period, I was able to discern what had created my anxiety and that the bulk of it rested on a massive change in my secure environment. In order for me to experience what I feel passionate about and to live that dream, some other securities had to be put to one side! Of course the repercussions soon started to unfold and become overwhelming.

One day, I was up late and trying to make decisions about what next and then it ocurred to me that there were decisions I had already made that were about self-sustainability and practicalities and that nothing is really ever bigger than me unless I decide that it is. Everything after all begins with a thought and it is how I allow that thought to take on a life of its own, that determines the way that my day will go. :-) So relaxation and a focus on my breathing clearly helped. :-)

I went back to a hot glass of homemade lemonade and mint and listening to nature’s delights. On this occasion, a crow is driving me nuts with his call, (Does this crow ever sleep?) but that is his sound and the way that he communicates after all. Funny as soon as I wrote this, the crow seemed to move further away :-) and leave me to my quiet reverie.

Enjoy your day.

Much love and many blessings

always :)
