A few days ago, the U.S. cycled through another Labor Day weekend. Here, in the Midwest, where I have committed to share a year basking in the beauty and grace of my mama, Labor Day marks the "end of the summer." Radio announcers and newspaper ads remind everyone that cooler days are ahead; to savor the last few moments at the beach or with the barbeque. Truly, we will be seeing the glory of Autumn's colors soon, as the Equinox beckons from around the corner.
This past Labor Day held sacred meaning for me. Not so much as a
"workingmen's holiday", but as an opportunity to honor those things that are coming to an end in my life. As I approach the LABOR DAY of my Lotus Heart Baby's Soul Rise, my belly churns and pulses with life. The sweet baby inside will soon be breathing the miracle of birth. And I am letting myself GO. The beginning of Motherhood marks a distinctive end to something else, just as all sacred cycles do.
For me, it is the end of Self-doubt. It is the end of childish fears. As I test my wings of womanhood in the town where I was still a child, the reflection of who I am grows clearer and I remember my True Nature.
I am letting myself GO!
...dropping into the arms of Compassion, Courage and Fearlessness!
Real Love casts out all Fear. Thank you to all you sweet friends who have uplifted me this summer. You have reminded me of the truly infinite and unfailing power of LOVE.
In Love and Gratitude,
R. R. Shakti
