Soul Musings/Day 19: Soul Nature

Take a journey into the wilderness within

Stopping here and there to fall into the spaces

That have brought you here into this particular body

To this calling that prods, conjoles and romances you

Until you throw up your arms in surrender

And say yes,yes, yes….this is why I am here

How could I veer so far away with made up stories

When the unfolding moment constantly reveals

who I am – listen….

Soul Musings/Day 18: Taking Flight

Believe it or not I just couldn’t seem to tap into anything to write about today on this blog. In fact this will look like it was posted on the 19^th, but it really is the evening of the 18^th…..and I just used up two of my sentences!

But wait I have found an image that has captured my attention. I name it “Taking Flight” as it seems quite possible to me that this woman is about ready to lift off and join the winged beings in the sky.

Perhaps she actually is a bird in flight as in the Irish legends of Silkies who leave their home of the sea and take off their mermaid tails to become two legged humans for periods of time.

I am curious about what you would be if given a choice – a winged creature taking off for the skies, humpback whale breaching simply to show off, matriarch elephant sharing her tales of seasons past, or slithering Coral snake sunning herself on the nearest rock?

Flights of fancy such as this carry me into the world of imagination and hurl me out of this body I have been given. Is it possible that we were made to journey beyond this container taking flight into other forms….returning wiser and forever changed.

Soul Musings/Day 14: Trust Is Worth The Risk

Trust can be an elusive thing.

Seeming so simple.

Trying to pin it down.

It becomes elusive.

Trust is your relationship to the unknown, to uncertainty.

Which is life unfolding.

Constantly shifting and impermanent.

Living in the question……who do you trust and how do you grow it?

Soul Musings/Day 13: Between The Worlds

I don’t know about you but this Rumi poem takes me down to the roots of my Being.

Not only because this is my experience as I create movement on the dance floor

But for the passion it embraces of life lived in the in between places

Those places that invite you to play where you have never gone before…..and sometimes embarrass you

The rapture that breaks upon your soul as you wonder if someone will notice the light that leaks out from your crevices

There is no bargaining here for it is beyond that….way beyond

The only path to take

Is surrender…..

Soul Musings/Day 9: Uncertain Territory

Image by Ashes and Snow

“I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” Pablo Picasso

If you have followed these posts for the last 9 days then you may wonder how I am feeling about posting daily on 3 blogs for 31 days. To tell you the truth I almost quit yesterday “thinking” it was just all too much to commit to.

Then I received a post today on creativity with the above quote as part of the content. A space opened up inside that shoved aside that part of me that was ready to “give it up”.

You see “giving up” would have shut down on what was yearning to express through me. The act of allowing this learning to unfold itself clearly provides vast territory for creativity to emerge.

Not knowing what will ask to be expressed from one day to the next is the uncertain journey that life asks of all of us. As Wendell Berry says, “ It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey.”

Soul Musings/Day 8: Collaborator With The Divine

Creator of life moving in spirals

Born on the exhale of a breeze

Delivered into the waters of life

Resting in the embrace of a tree

Her wildness embraces all

As She ignites the fire that burns

All attempts to tame her

Following her clear calling

….. as collaborator with the Divine

Soul Musings/Day 2: Awakening to Innate Wildness

Wild is an awakening to our innate nature of being as women. An instinctual sourcing of the fullness of expression that has lived within us for eons.

Forget not those passions, sensibilities, fearlessness, and authentic urges that are woven into the fabric of our cells. Unbound they light the pathway to untethered creativity and all encompassing fierce love.

Standing on the precipice of the wild frontier of uncertainty we may hesitate. After all this is territory that is uncharted.

But then it all is.

If we are living our wildness……

Soul Musings/Day 1: Generosity

The generosity of woman crosses all domains when she accepts that in feeding her Soul she nourishes the life around her. Nature connected we root our toes down into the Earth and feel the pull of energy that constantly feeds us . Essential and sensual nature flowing as the river. As the tree that stretches it’s arms to the sun, the moon, the Universe.

Boundaries provide a container to hold nourishment. We are fed and held in the arms of that which gives us life. Breathe now. Join in the ecstatic union and step into the unfolding dance.

Each post, invited by Soul, allows the words to emerge unscathed from prior planning, editing, or censorship. Dwelling in uncertainty and dipping a toe into mystery this union resonates with something deep within.

Fall Down/Get Up Is One Move

I’m certain most of you have watched a small child taking their first steps. They fall down often as they get their land legs underneath them. Yet, they always get back up again ready for the next adventure in learning to walk upright and exploration of the world around them.

You did this in fact when you were a baby, but some of us have forgotten this as we fall into the deep holes of life and can’t seem to find our way out….or we avoid, with all of our will power, falling at all!

Fall down/get up could be perceived as one move to a baby. It is a way in which they learn more about life and is fueled by intense curiosity. Perhaps we have something to relearn here!

Living life in a “straight line” never takes us anywhere we have not already been before. As Naomi Newman says in the comic dharma performance video below “nothing natural or interesting goes in a straight line and is the quickest way to a wrong place. If you know where you are going then you have already been there.”

Have you ever purposely surrendered to the possibility of becoming lost? I call “getting lost” a way of inspiring new possibilities for we travel to a place outside or inside of ourselves that we have never been to before. Then we have a choice. Engage with curiosity and a sense of exploration….or panic because we are “lost” and dwell in all of the fears that can result as we give them life, capturing us in a way that leads us potentially back to a dead end of sameness.

Almost three years ago now I decided to quit a job and four years of residence in Oregon and move to Texas without having any friends there or source of income. What made me do it? Many things actually, but it certainly wasn’t from a place of attempting to live in a straight line, but instead more out of a sense of trusting this leap into the unknown and knowing that I would discover more of who I am and what I have to offer within that journey.

Did I fall at times? Yes. Did I get back up making it one move? Yes, but sometimes with gaps in between as I waited for life and myself to unfold giving time for allowing possibilities to emerge. Did I learn a lot and am I still learning and growing? Oh yes!

Listening to that inner guidance system, which takes us in many and varied directions, and trusting that it will lead to exactly where we need to go next is a life long lesson. Be ready to become intensely curious, nurture a sense of exploration, travel in many and varied directions, fall down/get up, and wait for possibilities to unfold. You were so wise when young…..and it is still there within you!
