Whether we like it or not, and at times we don’t like it at all, our soul follows its own timeline and path. A path often slower, more difficult, more unconventional and uncertain than the ego or culture would prefer. It is human, after all, to want to rush to the end, bypass the pain, solve the problem and get on with things. But habitually doing so leads us to shallow solutions, ones that only lead to more problems or cover over deeper issues.

Habitually doing so leaves us exiled from our deepest selves and the well of potential within. It deprives the world of our gifts. Of the world’s gifts, born through each one of us. Soul is, after all, not a problem to be solved or fixed, but lived step by step, wherever it might take us.

So if instead we could be patient with all that is unsolved, all that is unborn, all that is uncomfortable and conflictual in us, if we could follow the soul’s lead and move awhile at her pace – the pace of our hearts and our bare feet on bare ground – we might truly bloom.

wild ride to somewhere?

inquiry for today~ and this too shall remind you how….

another moment…

Living in the moment is learning how to live between the big moments.

It is learning how to make the most of the in-betweens

and having the audacity to make those moments just as exciting.
