I will have a go .... It seems like months have passed since the last retreat. The daily struggle to navigate everyday life and to maintain enthusiasm is frustrating. When I sit and move into the space of the movement of the earth I am quite hesitant as to what I am feeling. I felt like an outsider/observer. An observer of steadfast forging and creation. I did not feel a part of what I saw happening. It scared me a bit. What I feel I learned from this experience is that the shift/ golden realm is happening regardless if I participate or not. If I am in, I make the commitment. If I am not in all the way, it is not possible to be a true part of it. That commitment becomes my true contribution. There is nothing in between. Even with this revelation in front on me my knee jerk reaction is to DO something. Silly thing that is. It seems easier than being. When I am to be while doing. My perspective is simple and linear. It is in front of me everyday. A hurdle if you will. I trip over it most days. The perpetual wisdom of "chop wood carry water" provides infinate depth and practical application. On a softer side, the possibilities for true joy in chopping wood and playfulness in carrying water are right in front of me and it is up to me to recognize the joy is the journey.

Much Gratitude for this work💜
