Usually when I sit down to write my weekly newsletter, there has been a theme or series of experiences that dictates the subject. I am aware of what I will write about ahead of time. This writing is how I process, release, deepen or expand on the events that are vying for my attention. Today however, I am a blank! What I realize is that this has been a time of stillness. A time for contemplation. I guess I have had a few conversations with people about the odd feeling of “waiting” that has been so present. I sometimes feel like this is a time to be still, as something new is coming towards me! This is ssssoooooo different from how I have experienced this in the past. In the past, I was always in pursuit of the new or next thing. Once I had a sense that something was shifting or changing, I immediately started trying to figure it out. I would decide what I thought the change or shift was… And then I would strategically maneuver things in my life to attempt to influence and control the outcome. Because of course… I knew best what would be “right” for me! Oh the arrogance of the ego! |

Today… I still don’t know or understand what is coming my way. I can make stuff up.., but the truth is I am clueless. So instead of “getting out in front of it” and trying to manipulate or force it to be a certain way~I am simply letting it be revealed! Staying present, and dare I say, when I feel the awkwardness of this new sensation.., I am treading water. None of this is negative or scary… (okay waiting for something to be revealed is always a little scary!), it just feels as if “life” wants to become something more or something else. I assume it is good… Which of course makes me want to wonder, dream and imagine what it will be. However, I can also see how trying to figure it out could actually be a huge distraction! So much of our Spiritual work is learning to “live in the moment”. Perhaps this is not about waiting. Perhaps this is about Being. How about you? Are you sensing a new shift or change in your life? How are you dancing with it? Are you leading or following? Or maybe in this dance the question is… Are you forcing or allowing? Damn, I love the mystery of life!
