Musing…
" Too much of a good thing….is
wonderful."
–Mae West
The seasonal harvest is a visual example of
the abundant outpouring of nature – as each plant has matured, it has
transformed light into a nourishing succulent delight. Receiving the glory of this harvest
requires an openness to accommodate yourself to this flow. Harvest is both a noun and a verb.
Kate’s Turn:
I experience over and over again how the Universe takes delight
in saying Yes to my needs. I’ve
had a couple of opportunities to teach qigong, and I feel indulgent while
partaking of this vibrant healing energy as I simply lead others in the
movements. I began to express my
desire to have a space in which to teach on a regular basis…yes, to introduce
others to this simple, yet profound practice, but also because it is what makes
me come alive – it brings me to experience "zoe" (Greek for life) – that state of being possessed
with the absolute fullness of life.
So the Universe orchestrates a few conversations, a few
connections, and behold! I get to
indulge in my desire. Life is
about joy once I can break through my self-imposed limitations, my smallness,
my safety and open myself to receive the flow available to me. This indulgence opens me further to
gratitude, and a further softening and falling in love with my own life…I am that harvest, pouring out to
others, even as I, myself, continue to open and receive.
"You have a channel into the
ocean, yet you ask for water from a little pool. Beg for the love-expansion…Wait for the illuminating
openness as though your chest were filling with light." -Rumi
Get Fired Up:
Say “Yes” to all
that is good in your life. Be more
of a "basker". Indulge in and Be the
harvest.
Beg for the love-expansion and say this prayer:
I consecrate my life to be the Open Door
through
which the Light will continually flow to bless and heal all life on Earth.
"Wherever
you are is the entry point!
I laugh when I hear the fish in the water is thirsty." - KABIR
