Blessed is the gift of being invited into shared experience with another with the intention to grow and become more than we were before.

As I write this, Autumn is dancing her breeze playfully around the garden and encouraging the trees to let go their leaves.Such a poignant event, asking us all to let go of what no longer is needed, to let go of anything that we are holding onto so tightly, to allow Mother Earth to hold us in her deep embrace, to allow the Beloved Creator to breathe more fully into our being.

It gave me pause to consider just how many souls are choosing to come in as these specific individuals at this time to get our attention and bring us a chance to wake up to the deeper communion.

May we hold one another tenderly, with invitation and belonging, that we may know Home within the Sacredness of Love’s Truth, through the many forms it may arrive upon our doorstep.

As my friend's time to part is approaching, I felt it time to return his “marbles”.

And here’s the twist, I just got this morning: “The more awake we are, the more aware and conscious we are of our life and our choices, and the value that they carry, the more the game is upped. The more the investment matters, and the more the quality of our investment matters.” So, we get out of Life what we put into it! *giggling

Morning enters me with a sweet and gentle kiss and the aroma of delightful bliss as she fills my senses.

“Talking” with Nature can be in worded conversation or in simply engaging her with any of our senses. I am so delighted and grateful for the many avenues in which it happens.

What I CAN do, is to soften into a better space that will teach me deeper truths, and more expansive connections that create real healing and communion beyond my current narrow scope of understanding. And I know that as I listen deeply, those moments of inspired action will arise within me and as I put them into play, it will make the best difference it can make in that moment… and the heart-centered undercurrents of what transpired will invite more like it to ripple out…to touch and influence more, even if I never get to be witness it personally.

...until one day, a sliver of that precious love was able to illuminate a seed that was hidden deep within my heart, and that seed's gentle life came online. It began to softly reach for the light that had seeped in through the cracks of my broken heart, and, it slowly began to grow roots…

Even though it can be quite the experience to blow open our idea of what it means to share this world's living space, I believe that it is very possible to cultivate a life where quite often we can live in harmony and respect with one another.

Healing is a multi-faceted experience. And as everything is energy first and foremost, that energy can be shared and received not only through physical touch, but through every means of engagement.

In this moment, I dance, I breathe, and I am welcomed Home…
