Clearing


We are coming through a time of large change and angst.  While it has felt unsettling at best, and horrific at worst, it has been all about the feelings.  This surfacing of fear, anxiety, shock, anger, and frustration has been a necessary medicine.  These debilitating feelings have been held in our collective awareness through generations of pain and struggle.  These large changes are about ushering us into a new way of being in the world.  A way that lifts us out of this struggle, and into a more compassionate and humane interaction with the earth and within our human family.  This very intense year of 2020 has been necessary for breaking up the status quo, and for opening a way for possibilities toward a more enlightened world.  It has been a time for clearing out old judgments, old feelings, old systems, and old darkness.  This clearing is creating a new path for openness to joy, to love, to freedom.  Yes, there will still be a time of blending the old with the new, and of sorting out what goes and what stays.  We are being asked to clear out and to stay in tune with our inner knowing--that true part of who we are at the core.  This true connection will be the mantle of strength that will carry us through these challenging times.  Stay true. 

"Like a wise serpent shedding her skin, you are called to release whatever is no longer authentic or doesn't serve your highest good.  You are not the same person you were ten or even five years ago.  Acknowledge your growth and movement."
