our true nature
May we know & reside in our True Nature.
Have you forgotten who you truly are?
It’s easy to do.
Especially when the gravity seems too heavy and the density seems so deep.
When the world seems upside down and all that was normal is no longer in the room; it takes effort to turn the lights on when it feels overwhelmingly dark and defeating. It takes will and strength to choose love and kindness over fear and biases and old beliefs.
It takes courage to stay with all that shakes us to our core - can we trust it?
Can we trust who it is we are becoming as we move through this mud and mountains?
This time holds so many parallels for me. The grief. The loss. The change I never asked for. The pain I didn’t know I could ever feel. All of the broken parts and pieces. I could have stayed shattered. I could have stayed stuck. I could have taken my big anger and big pain and massive grief and said fuck it all - i am done. I could have went a million directions backwards. Yet as I say I could, I know I never would. It isn’t my true nature. My true nature-deep within my heart, my gut, my soul- guided me another way through. It was in the space of overwhelming darkness that I could finally feel and find the light. And what began as a small spark of hope has led me forward on my greatest adventure: knowing and trusting my truest nature.
My heart.
My love.
My joy.
My liberation.
My fierce forgiveness.
My resilient remembering.
It takes us knowing and trusting who it is we are deep deep deep within so we can begin to show up rooted in our strengths and rising into our capacity. To challenge what the world tells us about us we must know without any doubt the truest of truths- we each are here on purpose with tremendous purpose and power. And our pain, our story, our sorrows and circumstances are all the curriculum for our souls remembering and our soul's growth - so we can flourish and thrive into who it is we came here to be.
Knowing challenge to know we can live into the change.
It can become a daunting task to shine light on the illusions and keep an open heart and open minds to true north and power of our love. When the work becomes survival we have very little capacity left to remember there’s a space beyond limits and a space beyond bondage - a space waiting for us all to remember: i can be free - you can be free - we can all be free - a space of flourishing and fullness and freedom - a space beyond the suffering of our minds hearts and souls. It’s possible. It’s there. We must do the brave work of remembering.
We must rise beyond the exhaustion and uncertainty and overwhelm and know:
We are here on purpose and with so much purpose. You were called into this moment of time to bring forward only the gifts you can bring.
Know your nature.
Know your capacity.
and Know your strengths.
This is how we continue on towards every horizon of hope.
