What is this place? I quietly question as I look around at the insurmountable beauty surrounding me in every direction. Heart shaped rocks and intricate plants. Sundogs and snowstorms and the sound of rain on the rooftops. Creatures of all shapes and sizes. Some that soar and others that gallop. Ones that inch along in the grass and those who swim effortlessly under the ice.
The love felt in the gaze from his eyes, the touch of her hand, the beat of my heart.
The exquisite intelligence that connects all of life.
Where am I? I wonder as I stare at my computer screen and my eyes take in stories of chaos, abuse of power, corruption and deceit. Movies with plot lines of torture and terror. Songs with lyrics about violence and hatred that climb to the top of the charts. Popular people on social media laughing while they dance to these songs. Oblivious or uncaring, I am not sure it matters.
Why is this ok?
How is it so beautiful and so horrific at the same exact time? Why is it like this here?
It feels as though we are quickly going backwards and rapidly accelerating forwards simultaneously. It brings on waves of exhilaration, astonishment, disorientation and surrender. These powerful waves knock me over somedays and at times you can find me quietly curled up with a mug of tea or crying in the shower or dancing in the fields.
Sometimes I do all of these things in the same day.
What a time to be alive.
The death of old world is giving life to a new one and here we stand, right in the middle. I feel the pull and the push and the swirl of it all inside my heart all the time. A deep knowing and an exuberance for witnessing the unfolding of these events resides here, too. For I have been waiting for this moment my entire life. Perhaps you have also known about this, too. Aware that the way things were going couldn't last much longer. Here we are.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
Self love is of paramount importance now more than ever before. Take care of yourself. Your heart, mind, body, spirit. Follow your inner knowingness and honor your intuition. Whatever it is you need to do to preserve your life force, do it. Without analysis or criticism or explanation. Your body knows the perfect medicine it seeks.
Eat the popcorn, watch an old rerun, snuggle in your bed. Listen to beautiful music, draw with your kids, pet your dog extra long. Talk to your plants, bake cookies or scones and dip them in your tea. Dance, pray, meditate, breathe, cry, stretch.
But please don't hide your light.
For your light is the medicine the world so desperately needs.
Make amends and free yourself. Write your story, share your dreams, make new friends. Take pictures, paint the canvas or the walls, sew the coats, make the art. Let the creativity pour right on out.
Love everything in sight.
They are calling it the Great Awakening or the Great Reset. While it is happening to the world at large, it is also an invitation to allow it to happen within your own sweet life as well.
Bright light humans for the win.
You already know what to do.
