Beloveds; We went to the mountains for the past two days and it was beautiful to have a change of scenery. Loved being with the trees, wildflowers, ground squirrels and chipmunks. Only about an hour from home, but really nice. In some ways it felt like a new world was coming to birth. As I feel into our experience, I find gratitude arising and a sense of joy and newness to life. It is so important right now to be thankful for what we have, to be respectful of one another, to celebrate even small advances.
I was listening to a podcast a few days ago and heard this: Humility is the willingness to be wrong about the way we see things, the way we believe things are. In our society we have been wanting to win so badly, wanting to be ‘right’, that we have nearly forgotten that there is such a thing as ‘the truth’. Today lets’ be humble and listen deeply to ourselves, to others and to nature to actually uncover the reality of what is. The stakes are high. We need to be out of the way now, stepping aside from the stories we have told and believed, in order to do the work necessary to go forward in a more beautiful and connected way. May we be grateful and respectful and compassionate with every footstep and word today. Peace.
