We need to accept that people and our gifts and our purpose, arrive together only when we can open ourselves to the Invitation, and allow ourselves to be guided through an initiation into the unfolding seasonality of how those three things meet and can only meet at this moment, accepting fully that it will change and keep changing.

Do not let people tell you that you are wrong to love or dream, even if it wounds you both. Where it wounds you, needed opening and healing all along, where it wounds them, does not in truth wound them, only exposes where they were wounded all along. The same is true for you.
To be overwhelmed, is to have been half born into the next place that we were not ready for, and to be alarmed at how loud and pressing the demand arrives that we give something of ourselves we are not ready to give, seeking a hurried way back to the […]
if you would belong to tomorrow, where the great secret beckons, stop trying to pick the locks of your misfortunes. let go your petty bucket of shames, and the thimble of hope you have been trying to empty it with. find the stairs. the dawn is waiting, but not for […]
a beautiful reminder of the power of forgiveness and releasing the negative emotions that hold us back. It encourages us to connect with the good that was once there and move forward with a sense of freedom and wholeness.
