We Will Rise Strong
Like the rest of the population on planet earth since COVID-19's arrival and the "Stay at Home" mandate, I've been home and simply riding the waves. Allowing myself to feel all that is here to feel. Lots of observing and noticing my relationship with all that is taking place...noticing how others are managing, and at times struggling. It has been a ride that is for sure. My heart feeling heavy for those who have lost loved ones, incomes, and are overwhelmed and ridden with fear. Though I am not in those shoes today, I do remember a time when this was very real for me. It was a different set of circumstances but feeling the tension and struggle to keep my head above water and my soul from slipping into darkness. Not easy...at all. And yet...there is Light that pierces through darkness and remains constant, steady, and unchanging. To this day, this Light continues to be my guiding force. It resides within me and holds me, even when I feel off center. This Light is available to all...it lives within all of mankind.
SO...How are YOU? You and your loved ones? Really. How are you feeling? What are you noticing rising up within? How are you managing? What have you been able to relax into as far as a routine, if you have one? I do care...and genuinely would enjoy hearing from you. I'm sure you've heard it stated, "We are all in this together." And, it's true. We are all part of the whole. When one suffers, we all in some way suffer. When one rejoices, we all experience that energetically. I am so thankful to be part of the whole of humanity. For we are resilient, strong, and adaptable at the core. None of us walks alone. Granted one might feel lonely at times but in truth, this pandemic is global and our brothers and sisters in other countries are experiencing the same. I am in awe at how amazing and beautiful people are at large. (Yes, there are those who are still unconscious who are a bit dull and go around hording and saying mean things. These folks will always be around, so instead of coming down into that lower frequency, rise above it and wish them well.)
And what's next? We know that another change is coming. No one knows for certain what that all will entail. For some, this next phase seems just as unnerving and perhaps still scary. For others it will feel like we've been let out of jail. Even then, it takes time to integrate back into life. And it is a life that will not be like what we've know before. So we will step into what comes next hopefully with grace and ease. Utilizing what we've learned from our experiences and our practice, and we will rise. Let's take one step at a time more mindfully...more present...more compassionate towards others...and with a greater appreciation for all that life is right here, right now.
