Can dancing with danger be a sacred act? Would you consider it brave? Even heart-expanding?
I named one of my fears out loud. We came face-to-face. An ancient one which stops me in my tracks and I recoil in disgust. Then, I become super small... Immobilized and checked out.
This monster of a fear also brings out the warrior in me with a deep desire to annihilate. Simultaneously, I felt like death will become of me if I faced it head on.
Face-to-face with my fear... In the jungle.
Face-to-face with my fear... In Zion.
Face-to-face with my fear... In my own home.
Face-to-face with my fear... Again in my own home.
This time, I didn't shut down. I did not travel alone. Immense support surrounded me. The black panther was leading this dance with darkness, the final dance with danger.
I looked it straight in the eye. Astonished. Speechless. Tears streamed down my face.
I felt safe. The monster transformed right before my eyes. How was this possible?
Humbled.
In awe.
Tears continued to fall.
The deeper I looked, and held the gaze of the monster, I saw the wisest part of me. The land, the water, the sky. Both the ancient and the new. The future calling me forward.
The ancient-future already here ushered in through the canoes.
I felt S P A C I O U S N E S S.
My heart opening wider to receive it all.
Tenderness and warmth filled my heart.
I felt an expansion in my capacity to receive love and be that love.
Tears flowing, not out of fear, but of the great privilege to see these depths, feel the immensity and be present to it all in my body.
I softened and savored.
What an honor.
Truly.
I relished in this moment, in the emergence of great beauty.
The profound intimacy.
Into me I see.
The sacred act of danger.
The sacred act of bravery.
The sacred act of saying now is the moment.
I am ready to see what's there.
I am ready to look it in the eye.
I am ready to see this through.
And I am ready to see L O V E.
To experience L O V E.
To be L O V E.
And transform my fear to embody more love and let that ripple out of the sacred waters of my being.
May we continue to courageously face our fears, let go of the familiar and allow LOVE to see us through.
Thank you for being here. Not just as part of my tribe of waterweavers, but here on this planet right now.
I feel blessed to travel alongside you as we expand our capacity to allow more love in our hearts, to be surprised by the presence of love and spread the miracle of love.
May love continue to reign over us.
with infinite love,
