the SPACE we Hold

-

In this human experience, there is a continual dance between ambiguity and our PERMEABLE ALIVENESS. This swirls in the space between "no longer" and "not yet" and is the very threshold into the Mystery of Spirit and the Grace of God. It is the proverbial ebb and flow of LIFE.
Our PERMEABLE ALIVENESS is the essence of our best Divine self engaged in sacred REVERENT INTERACTIONS with Life. It is the point on the continuum that reveals our highest expression of God. At the other end is fear, contraction, and our human smallness when we're not reflecting Spirit.
Often when I type SACRED I accidently invert 2 letters and type SCARED which perfectly captures this very continuum of PERMEABLE ALIVENESS. At one end is my human self limiting this life experience to the finite. The other end is INFINITE. It reveals my relationship with God. How do I show up? How do I engage God in others? How do I elevate "Julia" expressing as God? How do I inspire? How do I reflect an unknown? This relationship can be THAT tenuous... SACRED vs scared.
Our PERMEABLE ALIVENESS is an enlarged space that allows us to hold the unknown and the PRESENCE of GOD for it IS the very space where GOD shows up! How do we BREATHE WITH LIFE? It is our energy and life force that shines through us to others. It is our relationship with Life, Love, and the Divine.
PAUSE. BREATHE. ENGAGE.

"Who looks inside, awakes."  ~ Carl Jung In this human experience we dance between "nowhere" and "now here". The unique expression of who we are includes both our vulnerabilities and our (w)holiness.  The awareness is that we participate in it ALL. That in its simplest form when we're not reaching for tomorrow or reliving the past; we. are. present to what IS showing up in our lives. When we are not judging between one extreme or the other we can allow radical acceptance versus expectation and simply embody what shows up moment to moment.  I am certain that we can all find examples where we have embraced our (w)holiness and pushed away our vulnerability. What makes one different than the other? It could be circumstance. It could be our current emotional state. It could be our own opinion & judgement around the situation. We think one is a weakness and the other a show of our strength; when with awareness we realize we ebb and flow betwee...

  I am angry… *surfaced after the 4th of July shooting at Highland Park, IL; republishing after the Madison shooting at Abundant Life Christian School 16 December 2024 Madison, WI I am angry… … because I am a woman  who has birthed Life  into the world AND watched men so carelessly & indiscriminately extinguish this Light! I am angry…  … because I am a woman who has had and has made  choices in my Life AND justice reversed this progress in the name of religion I am angry… … because I am a woman who has been marginalized, mistreated and raped for her resources  AND seen men who believe in their own providence do the same unto people of color, indigenous tribes and Mother Earth - ALL for the economy of money, power, and status  I am angry… … because I am a compassionate woman opening her arms and her heart to love & include more AND we label and categorize and discriminate down to a descriptor that divides US  I am angry… … because I am a wo...

  the ground is tilled for planting stirred up, unsettled exposing raw soil to the elements awaiting to receive the seed  some ground is frozen some is soft from a daily dose of light who knows what is most fertile it mostly depends on acceptance the details are immaterial where we land, how we grow temperamental to what gets thrown at us we learn to survive or thrive or die when a flower grows wild it can always survive, wildflowers don't care where they grow* just let the love & the light shine in nature knows the way to go there's a Spring in my SOUL yearning to BLOOM and must abide by nature's time  seasons and cycles that bring new LIFE #spiritliveswithin #intotheGRAYzone #pause #breathe #engage  #aPlaceCalledHOME #theRadicalAcceptanceofALL  *inspired by Wildflowers; Tom Petty
