What can I say about today? I have to admit, the activities in the news seem somewhat surreal even though we have been watching events unfold over the past three weeks. I’m obviously somewhat out of touch with reality when I think ‘Can this really be happening in Canada?’ It is and we are all affected.
From the beginning I have been doing my best to be a loving container for everything and everyone involved. I will be the first to admit this has stretched me beyond what I would have imagined. I have had to ask for Divine intervention to help me hold that dynamic tension over and over because the mind so desperately wants to have it all just go away. But that isn’t what’s happening, and my heart goes from being very heavy to feeling full of love and expansiveness to letting go and placing all my faith in the Divine because this is way beyond me that’s for sure.
And therein lies the gift; that which is beyond me where all I really can do is let go of resistance and trying to control what I clearly cannot control and lean into God. It is what soul and heart long for in truth and what I have stubbornly if unconsciously resisted through the pattern of trying to somehow ‘do it myself’. Thinking I know what should happen or who’s right and who’s wrong only keeps me stuck in an endless loop of insanity.
I see the hatred and the resistance, and the rhetoric and I weep, yet I also have to own it and give it to God as well. I am not an outsider looking in, I am one with all and I recognize the feelings, I understand the fear, I feel the frustration. And as I do, I acknowledge God’s presence and I let go. That is the only sane place I can go. There is peace here and there is love and I know in my heart of hearts that this too will pass.
Namaste
