Beloved~
I
was out driving the other day and happened to look up when I was at a stop
sign. Above me was a bird and it was still….just being there in the
sky. No movement of wings, no soaring and gliding. It was held
there, gently. Present, Aware, Still, Majestic and oh so magical
how this can actually happen ……forces of the universe/nature that are beyond my
eyes ability to see ~ holding this magnificent creature gently in its
place.
I
observed it for a while and my first thoughts were: Gee, I’m in a very
‘different’ place….. It’s been very quiet for me for an extended period of
time. My usual reference points (this is my life, this is how things
happen, life feels ‘right and familiar when this is present……) aren’t
there so much. This is somewhere I haven’t been before for such an
extended period and some days I want to say: Where did everyone go!
Anyone still with me? Who am I? Am I ok? What’s going to
happen….is this ‘normal’? Anything wanting to happen…..oh, seems
not. And I clearly notice that I can’t get too involved with these
questions and they easily pass like clouds in the sky. I AM
Now
I know that some of you are off and running with the energies of 2013.
Lots of great things happening and moving for you. For me it is quite the
opposite. Everything is quieter than ever before. And the
difference is that I AM quieter, slower, less reactive, there is pretty much no interest in drama….and when
I am reacting and intensely feeling my way through something……it passes so much
more quickly.
The human mind very quickly looks to analyze,
label and categorize our experiences….that’s it’s job. As Presence/Our
Divine Energies come more and more into our bodies, moving into our lives,
perhaps this is how it feels. It’s much quieter, calmer and there is very
little movement to understand or label it…..tho it is curious J.
And like the bird, unseen forces are holding us……holding us gently, lovingly, protectively~ Regardless of how things appear to our human eyes and thoughts – we are held, treasured, guided always and all ways.
We
are all on our path back Home……returning to living life from our True Essence
instead of living life dominated by our personality’s struggles, pains,
reactive patterns and beliefs…. Can you lean back and allow what ever is
showing up in your life?
We
are all designed to seek our natural state of harmony, peace and balance.
Either we are experiencing this harmony and peace OR our ‘stuff’ that is in the
way of / the blockages to our Divine Peace are coming up so that these
blockages can be seen and the feelings that hold it in place can be felt
through and released ……releasing them from our systems, never to return,
so that we can live as the Peace that is our natural birthright.
I
used to believe that once I moved into higher consciousness, I would simply sit
in bliss. What a story that was. Life continues to happen. I
get upset, I get frustrated, I cry when from out of nowhere stuff comes up for
releasing, or I cry when I am deeply touched and my heart is breaking open, I
have desires and preferences, things arrives as I wish they would and I get
excited….then they leave and I wonder what that was about…… Sweet
Gentle Surrender.
Bottom line – I continue to live life…… And
somehow I’m living it in a much more intimate way……and from a different
perspective. Less resistance, more yeses. There is much less fear,
so much more allowing and living into every experience that comes. And in
this moment, perhaps I’m more like the bird. Gently held in place while
the storms continue all around me until I once again swoop and soar and
glide.
We
are on the return Path……..perhaps this Quiet is the return of Presence in my
life (ah, the human need to label J)
. This lack of frenetic movement and inner agitation (don’t we all know
that one well J ) this new found
ability/Presence that has stayed for weeks, ……….. to simply rest in
place, to breathe more deeply, to be with what is……
Wherever
you are – it is so perfect……truly you are held and loved and guided and
applauded for your ability to play at being human……as one friend describes it –
we are God in Drag!!
And
what is showing up in your life now, in 2013, to show you how much you
have changed and released in 2012……. I celebrate you. I send
you blessings of sweet patience, grace, and a big bushel of everyday miracles
to enjoy. Namaste’
And
today I watched the vultures….they were flying in the sky……… AND then I watched
as they just rode the currents without having to move their wings…..as they
were carried on waves of energies and flow without having to do anything……they
were carried to a new destination…….. get it??
:-)
All Love
