BEing Faith
A few days ago, I received my daily inspiration from The Universe (www.tut.com). Some how The Universe just knows what I need to hear at the perfect moment in time. This particular sentiment connected me deeply to my own faith and my conviction and capability to act. Here's how it went:
"Yesterday I watched a small bird, flying very fast, disappear
into the canopy of an oak tree. So dense were its leaves that it was impossible
to see what happened next, though I can tell you it remained inside.
I wondered how the little bird found its opening through the leaves at such a
speed, and then managed to gently align its fragile body on the branch it chose
to land upon, all within a fraction of a second. Not to mention the impossible
to imagine flying maneuvers required: the banking, the curling, the vertical
and horizontal stabilizations, the deceleration and landing.
Memory? Calculation? Not in that tiny brain. Instinct? Maybe, but how does instinct
know which way the branches of a tree have grown when no two are the same?
That little bird just knew. It had faith, in spite of not being able
to see how things would work out, that if (and only if) it stayed the course
the details would be taken care of; that an opening would appear and a twig
would be found. In fact, had she slowed down enough to carefully and logically
inspect the tree first, the prudent thing to do, she would have lost her lift
and fallen to the ground.
Kind of like reaching for your dreams. Neither memory, nor calculating, nor
instincts are the deciding factors, but faith coupled with action"
Tallyho, The Universe
For me, I have been feeling that something is coming, something is shifting, something is opening. A subtle yet strong vibration in the atmosphere fills my cells with anticipation, excitement and hope. I find myself beginning to settle into a new way of BEing - a place where I go with what shows up. I notice, observe, then act. When I do this, I find that there appears to be a maestro that is conducting the orchestra of my life. Different aspects of myself get the opportunity to be played and heard and there is a coordination and a harmony of rhythms, beats, and tones that seem to be making my the music of my life.
I notice with a new sense of wonder - an observing apsect of myself that is becoming more predominant and more aware of ITSELF.
In this state, there is no need for my box and boundaries of control. My box is an illusion and I catch myself each day unconsciously setting up a new one. In past years and months I can see how my appetite for accomplishment and productivity drove my actions and choices, governing my day. This created a false sense of urgency, structure, safety, and control. Now, it seems that all of that is an illusion.
This week, I choose to have FAITH that all is in divine order. I choose to notice what is unfolding around me. I choose to listen to the music, play the music, and conduct the music of my life. I choose to be the bird who has unyielding faith that everything will work out even better than I could ever imagine. I choose to step into the harmony of nature, trusting that I will gently align my body on the branch I choose to land on.
I invite you to choose these this too. Come along with me and enjoy the flight.
With love & light,
BELIEVE in the possible. CREATE the possible. LIVE the possible.

SOULFUL SEEDS
"The forces you are struggling with,
that you feel are holding you back - are illusions. They are not real -
they never have been. See only the good that you desire in your mind."
