there is always movement…

afternoon slides into evening,

with such ease.

there is always movement.

life doesn’t stop, it doesn’t need to.

i practice to move with life.

not ahead of it, not lagging behind,

not stopping with heels dug in.

even when sitting, silently,

in stillness, i move with each breath.

heeding the call…

each of us can ask ourselves, “how am i showing up for the world? how best can i show up for the world?” the short answer is to show up as love, but what does that look like? this will often look different for each of us, as we open our heart to the pain, need, & suffering in our world, & respond to it. but if we practice keeping our heart open, practice bearing witness, & practice deep listening, we will find opportunity for our talents & skills, our voice & presence, to benefit this world, a world in deep need calling for our love.

descent and ascent…

what an interesting week, spiritually speaking! the Lunar New Year & Ramadan began yesterday, & now the beginning of Lent today with Ash Wednesday. these observances are invitations to journey inward & deep, to let go of all that is unnecessary, surrender to something more vast, luminous, & loving than the smallness we usually use to define our reality, & to come to know who we truly are. with Lent we have 40 days, mirroring the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert, a number that is repeated multiple times in the stories/journeys found in the Hebrew & New Testament scriptures. maybe it is the amount of time needed to go deep, to allow space for new life & insight, to shed old patterns & create new, to descent & then ascent.

whatever the case & in whatever way we may observe, may we find time & space to encounter the sacred, to center in on what matters, & to expand our capacity of heart to love a world in need.
