Walking the Path

Do you have any idea just how much your life has blessed this amazing world?! …of the magnitude of c0-creative contribution that has been added to this precious tapestry just by the sweet presence of your life, of every life, that has come here?!

Thank you for being here…for the opportunities to grow, to explore, to celebrate, to challenge, to dream, to laugh, to cry. We weren’t told it would be easy… we were told it would be worth it. I believe that to my core. I am learning that we don’t have to have all the answers: we only need to be willing to invite the next best step and the support to engage it.

I believe in you, in us all, in the deep knowing that so much genuine love exists, all around us, lives through us…that this Holy and Sacred Love is what we all are made of, that it influences everything, that it blesses everything and everyone…no exceptions.

Sometimes it’s easy to recognize: in someone’s smile, in a good and deep belly laugh, in a quiet gesture of caring, in a courageous stand to defend someone, or in the embrace of nature. Easy, right?

Sometimes we struggle to recognize it stitched so delicately into the very fabric of some uncomfortable or frightening experience… and yet, it truly can be discovered: in the awkward moments and lessons that arrive, in the exploring of the frayed edges and deep valleys of something that we might rather not engage, even in the rage or despair that engulf us, or in new understandings that arrive to our awareness of an experience we’ve had or are having.

I’m not saying that our life is an easy road to walk. Sometimes it’s downright hard. Sometimes we are hitting up against something we just don’t know how to deal with. And anyone can tell us, “Love is in this, too”… but until we learn to recognize it, until we’ve personally touched it… we can only hear their words.

The most powerful way I know of to connect with this Love, is to cultivate a capacity to be as present as possible with the moment that is meeting us; to be willing to share space with it without running away or distracting ourselves.

Of course, there are some experiences that just are too much and we put up our hand to say, “Nope! Not going there!”, or perhaps we outright flee or fall into destructive habits that only serve to try to numb the discomfort.

Sometimes we can start with the milder ones and work our way up, building on a foundation that gives us practice and experience. Sometimes we are gonna go through that forge right this red hot minute, whether we want to or not, so buckle up, baby. Either way, courage will be our faithful guide, if we let it.

When we decide to meet this moment, when we set the beliefs, judgements and fears aside, we begin to dwell in a deeper and more expansive space of perception. This is where the nuances and deeper truths are revealed. This is where Love and the layers of learning can truly start to be experienced. This is where compassion, grace and empowerment dwell. The more we can soften and sit with a moment, the more we learn that we are quite capable of engaging an experience through sacred interaction. Not only do we become capable of meeting the more difficult moments, we can more readily recognize the magick and miracles at hand as well!

My prayer for you is that you feel the sweet caress of love in the sacredness of each tear that falls from your beautiful eyes as it emerges from the depths of your precious heart. Blessings BE with both the pain and the joy.

My prayer is that you come to know, intimately, how Grace offers up her arms to hold you when you feel that you will be swallowed up whole by the immensity of your situation as well as when you are dancing in celebration.

My prayer for you is that you come to hear the soft and gentle whispers of the Beloved as it reminds you of your belonging and of its eternal presence through you.

My prayer for you is that you remember your sweetness, and the sweetness of all life, of our interconnection and our responsibility to one another as fellow beloveds, of our individual and collective empowerment as sovereign and cherished beings sharing a life experience. May compassion AND joy live through us all.

My prayer is that we all come to touch and know the vibrance, the preciousness, the joy that lives and indeed thrives here on this precious earth! We only need open our door in invitation.

Some things that Love is teaching me:

I know the power of Love and Kindness.

I also know the power that fear and heartbreak can wield.

Tumbling down my own dark holes, I resurface, with the experiential understanding that we have the ultimate and insanely powerful ability to Choose:

…to choose who we are going to be, whatever the opposing force or circumstance.

…to choose how we will build our relationship with ourselves and with others.

…to choose how we will align with our life and how we will apply what we’re learning through each experience.

…to choose to embrace life with a hearty infusion of humor and compassion as often as able.

…to choose that we are so much more than we may currently understand or believe.

…One step at a time, one precious breath at a time.

As we walk our journey, we will find our places of fear, of illness, of challenge. We will also find our places of joy, of courage and empowerment, of gratitude and deep love.

Please know that you, dear brave, competent and beloved soul, are held in sacred prayer and love each and every day; in prayer that your very best life is manifest in the highest and best ways. And I know that you also hold someone, perhaps many someones, in sacred prayer and love on some level of your beautiful being. Thank you for that.

We’ve got this. Together. All of us…we’ve all come together for this time. Take my hand and I'll take yours. Let us join with all our brothers and sisters of our beloved earth, of the universe…let us be here, together, now.

May we walk in our Divine Truth, held in Sacred Love, and come to know the preciousness of not only our own life, but of All Life.

Munay~
