HOPE

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing & rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there..." ~Rumi

HOPE is emerging, not just as an intellectual exercise but as a LIGHT within me.  

Uncertainty is an OPENING! Our rigid routines and strict schedules keep us unaware of the new possibilities that exist around us.   We sleep walk through our days and become numb to the boundless opportunities beyond our current knowing. 

This pandemic has caused a seismic shift. Daily we wrestle with our fear and our FAITH; the darkness and our LIGHT! However, when Life shifts this dramatically, everything we know goes out the window which can be disorientating... or reorienting.  Yes! It opens up a space for... 

EVERYTHING TO BE POSSIBLE!

I am finding more HOPE each day, little-by-little.  HOPE for a new world.  HOPE for more Unity.  HOPE for more Compassion.  HOPE for a shared sense of Humanity. HOPE for more LOVE!

HOPE IS a strategy and HOPE AS a strategy may look like this:
  • taking responsibility for my own destiny
  • embracing possibilities that arise each and every day
  • being open & alert to changing situations
  • having a confident, flexible response to change
  • finding solutions when problems & obstacles appear to block the way
  • seek out new experiences at the edge of your comfort zone
How am I to help create/birth this new world? A midwife to what's already in motion; a coach to a beautiful unfolding? I'll meet you in that field beyond this pandemic and together we'll create a new world.

"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
