Come Alive

Such a good time to explore your aloneness. What's going on inside? David Whyte with another brilliant, eloquent dance with words.

Revisioning confinement ...

"... we have reached a moment in our human evolution where the clumsy, dense, survival obsessed caterpillar stage of our collective human consciousness must finally stop mindlessly consuming and surrender to the chrysalis, in which everything it has known itself to be dissolves into mush. Welcome to the Corona Cocoon. Yup. We are in the disintegration stage now where all the magic happens and the next chapter of our human experience can transition into the era of the butterfly; a being that is light, free, empirically exquisite and in service to others ..."

Do you think you can resolve your troubles with love and mindfulness? These things may be important but you may also need to befriend a wild beast inside you, l...earn to ride the bear, boar or wolf, whose aggression is sharp and fierce, whose senses listen far out into the interconnection field of all things, whose cunning is as deep as the sea See more

How are you using your imagination?

In modern industrial culture there is some unwritten rule that we are not allowed to fail and not allowed to 'not know' or be wrong, as if there is almost some ...shame attached to those things. People become paralyzed by failure and ashamed of it rather than realizing its holiness. The result is that its harder to change direction, and to learn something new. And radical changes of direction are essential right now. Failure is how we learn, not knowing is how we learn. Just 'don't know' sometimes, its ok to not know. Not knowing is alive, its real and sensual, beautiful, even if its frightening, or even if it isn't. Plant your failures in the ground and nourish them where they will grow as a beautiful harvest of wisdom for your community and possibly future generations. See more

Even though I grew up in a progressive household, it included the message boys don’t cry. It’s taken me decades to undo the damage. Let it flow, and even better in the company of friends.

... have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very f...oreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~ (Letters to a Young Poet, translated by Stephen Mitchell)
