The Light of Day

As I write this, we are poised in the brilliance of the Summer Solstice.  The energy is wild, palpable, available and real.  Our task these days is how we are focusing in this abundance of possibility and uncertainty.  I am looking out my window at the foliage of a large grouping of trees, mostly maples.  It is late afternoon and the sunlight  is topping the leaves with a dance of light.  The color is many shades of vivid green. The wind is intermittently blowing, bringing the rustle of leaves into motion.  The trees, leaves, light, sound feel indescribably alive, their beingness flowing in a steady stream.  I am a witness to them and as I stay in my place, next to them, observing, I learn, I take in, I understand, I am humbled, I am settled, I am calmed by their graciousness. These days, my mind goes to “Where is Graciousness?”

I remember how important it is to remain in beauty, how important it is to realize the power of your thoughts and points of attention.  Everything is riding on maintaining the beauty of your own being, your own essential truth and letting it flow and connect.  That forms the web, the template that allows life force to thrive.

There are so many ways to express this.  I have had a phenomenal season of teaching and leading Authentic Movement groups, Constellation groups and private sessions.  I am in awe of the courage and authenticity that people are exhibiting.  I cannot be anything but hopeful as I witness this.  I have had the opportunity to tend my beautiful dog, who had an extreme surgery in April.  Her surgery caused me to slow down, to sit with her, to be present with what it is to have your structure, your bone, literally sawed in half and repaired and to be patient and present with the severity and the miraculousness of the healing process.  How do we tend— each other and ourselves when the very core of us is restructuring.  This is what we are in the midst of.  May graciousness abound.

I have a few offerings coming up.
