We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For

What to plant? Much work to do!

Homebase in the Woods

Empowered by a synchronicity of events and welcome resolutions, inspired by a long walk in the redwood forest near my home, I am answering the metaphorical question, what do I want to plant in my garden? 

There can be no static answer to this question. I'm a life in progress, a constantly changing and evolving being. But the only way I know how to answer this question honestly is by staying tuned into my own needs and wants, being clear with my own emotions. Not an easy task, with so many distractions and interference (and don't you feel like this "interference" is getting louder? hmm, another blog altogether)..

I've been meditating on the Goddess Tara every day. She is compassion in action. I want to open my heart up to compassionate love, both giving and receiving. I find it so helpful to spend time in meditative space with the spirit of Tara. To imagine myself with those qualities that allow her to love so freely and so fiercely. I've always thought that this kind of meditative work would only develop results over a long period of time. But sometimes it seems as if the Earth is spinning faster and faster our intentions are greatly magnified. I've already been experiencing a great abundance of love, of inspiration, of opportunity. 

All of sudden it seems the flood gate of inspiration has opened within and I am motivated to take on new projects, to continue plotting and scheming projects of my own, to make those decisions that have been lingering in the back of my mind, to become spiderwoman as I weave a destiny full of healing and sharing, for myself, for the planet and all sentient beings! For years I been searching for a way to support myself while doing something I honestly care about and now, that is at my fingertips. I'm ready to make that choice, I'm ready to do that work. I'm dreaming and grounding and slicing open my brain to get all the juicy ideas out. 

Feeling very grateful today for the magic that exists all around us! I want to encourage others to search for inspiration within and take action. Become your own weaver. and if you can't do it alone, reach out to your community. We can help each other transform our world.

"and who will join this standing up

and the ones who stood without sweet ceremony

will sing and sing

back into the mountains and

if necessary even under the sea:

we are the ones we've been waiting for."

(I'm now posting this blog to my facebook account. For those that are new to reading my blog, please know i am open and honest and i often share some deep emotional work here, and sometimes I just write silly stuff. It makes me feel vulnerable to share so openly with so many people, yet on some level i think its helpful to us all to be honest and to sometimes feel vulnerable. Feel free to leave comments or send private messages if something is resonating with you)

Blessed Be!
