Wow! I'm BE.coming a Mother Now...


November 12, 2012

What am I being asked to let go of?
What is my gift?  What do I bring?
I’m sitting here in preparation for tomorrows new moon.  Petitioning Creation for help, for guidance, to assist me in trusting the huge unknown I have entered into.  I’m becoming a mother.

This past weekend I did a 4 day ‘5 Rhythms’ dance workshop.  It was profound.  I realized that there is a wave that maps out the process of deep change, and that I have crested…and am currently in the crash of CHAOS.  I learnt that there is a depth of inner peace that is accessible as a direct result of the collective chaos that is taking place on the planet at this time, and that there is truly stillness in the ‘I’ of the storm.  I followed the fears and the resistance to their deeper places of residing within me, I honored the presence of each one….and the heart that makes them throb.  I went deeper, released more, let go of ‘holding my head high’ and just allowed my head to hang, I followed my energy down, I found ground….but I didn’t find bottom.  
I found ‘through’…. 
and ‘into’.  

I experienced the huge power that is present when One, (me, myself, I)…taps into the pulsing  rhythm of collective chaos….discovering again that it is Energy/Inner.Chi…..unlimited…unformed….totally raw….and that Creation feeds and hungers in the intimate center of my own chaos, finding its way into form and dissolving.  Endless cycles within a cycle.  And I tapped it…..I tapped my place of knowing how to release and allow the process of death, birth, and life, to occur through me.  It was heartbreaking and incredible all in an eternal instance.

I AM pregnant.  

Creation is happening in the wet wild unknown of my inner everything….and I am perfect in my ability to powerfully crash, crumble, drool, slither, dance, quake, rumble, breathe and dissolve into the everything of BIRTH.  I REALIZED the experience of  where to journey INSIDE OF MY OWN SELF to tap into everything that exists everywhere…..and possibly it is from here I will GIVE & BIRTH Creation into BEing.

What am I being asked to let go of?
*Everything about myself that I’ve ever known.
*Everything about my life that existed before now.
*My illusions of safety.
*My fear:
of not being good enough
of not being enough
of not being wanted
of not being capable
of not knowing the right thing to do
of not having everything that i need
of being in partnership
of being hurt
of being damaged goods
of not being heard
of being stupid
of being raped
of being misrepresented
of being ashamed
of being too much, too little, too open, too shy, too needy, too scared, too hungry, too sad, too unworthy of any good thing that life might tease me into believing i could have.
*My limitations.
*My lack of faith
*My distrust
*My unreliableness
*My smallness
*My wanting….my endless and deep wanting.

In order to have.
to be.
to experience.
to express.
to enjoy.
to love.
to allow.
to create.
to trust.
to feel.
to feel.
to feel.
to FEEL my life in all of its moments.
E.motion is Energy.in.motion.

What is my GIFT?  
What do I bring?
My whole self.  Untweeked to fit an.others need of who I should or shouldn’t be.  Me.  The God.ness that lives and breathes and becomes through the very essence of my journey of discovery.  I bring the ability to see…and to feel with ever cellular fiber of my being what is possible in the context of LOVE.  What pure creation energy, raw & unstifled, is capable of BEcoming…naturally…because it is coded and programmed to become….endless….never staying….all.ways moving toward that which is unfathomable through the human ego filter.  Love Invincible, more courageous and awe.some than anyone of us could ever imagine…because we ARE THAT….WE ARE.  I allow the Vision of YES! to dream through me.  To become a possibility in the I’s of others.  To be spoken, considered, felt, imaged.in.  I am a vessel of everything pure and right and worthy and good.  And I LOVE.  Oh how I love.  I hold the possibility of each Souls highest and most profound completion.  I am truth.  I AM my gift.  I AM. 

What am I learning by presently being and dancing in the space between what I release and what I gift?

I realized that I can shift my script.  The journey of now is not to release, allow, or accept what is being asked of me at this time, but to GIVE it.  To give that which is ready to go, to change, to be recycled.  To generously give myself completely to the life that is be.coming through me.

I also see that life and birth is received more than given.  That there is a peace.filled creation dance that softly touches and honors the Earth and her wisdom….and by letting go and resting into the support of the Earth, by staying close to her and listening to her whisper through y.our bones, breath, and brains….Source can offer all of lifes possibilities in full ‘charge’ as the energy is naturally being grounded and given to the planetary grid for the benefit of all.

This is so Now. And so it is. Today and All.Ways Evolving .
Aho
Amen
Thank yoUniverse.All.One

This is just the way I LOVE TODAY...

Really folks......I can't hold back tears today.
They surface as palpable and somewhat surprising emotions.
I'm access.able, open, and allowing me to be so....which is good.  Right?

This past year has held so much significant change for me.  I am in awe of how much a single being can move through in the space of months following months...moments touching moments.

I moved onto this mountain in Swannanoa, NC on November 1, 2011.
This landing came in the wake of my having moved 
out of - 
my community of 10 years, 
out of- 
the unfolding and dissolving of a year plus romantic partnership in which I had invested Soul level imaginings into,
& out of- 
a cross country journey comprised of experiencing the setting up and dismantling of 'home' four times - in three different states - in one year, sweet North Carolina now being the third.

IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME.
Well, as blessings would have it...((THANK YOU)) Lucas and Caroline arrived on this mountain the very same day as myself!  Until two short hours ago...they lived a literal hoot and hike away from me.
Their presence upon my arrival added an instant element of curiosity, possibility, creativity, wonderment, and community.

Upon first landing in this Heavenly Mountain world, my nervous system was overly alive and alert, my heart deeply tender, and my sense of self somewhat displaced.  In the midst of transitions like these it's my experience that time both speeds up and stands still.  Between these two fluidly flowing rivers I've been healing.  I've been held in the simple and potent power of love.  

LOVE.
Yes, I know, in my circle of sharing love may seem quite common place...a yada yada yak yak yak kind of assumption that is commonly thrown around as the norm.  But I tell you friends, this love thing is sweet and power.full.  

In the past six months, for me, love has been served up on heaping plates of steaming goodness.

Love has traveled from my eyes and been met in the middle by friends sharing music from their hearts and voice boxes.  Allowing unnecessary story lines to unfold and escalate simply for our laughters sake is the name of the game.  

Love has been spread atop gluten free pizza crusts with the initial "capital E" traced in sauce by yummy five year old fingers.

Love has echoed a rhythmic drumming in my ears as hammer guides nail and creativity is built, literally, with two hands and a huge heart into the vision of future, family, roots & home.
In every direction....LIFE!

Today time feels irreverently still as I watch my sweet friend and neighbor Lucas drive away from our little mountain neighborhood.  This eccentrically perfect creature is on to new yet familiar discoverings, cross continent from where we have cultivated  a timeless connection with nature and a kind of slow savory sweetness that sustains our daily musings about - well....important stuff that really matters. 

Whapio ((my midwifery teacher)) has been reminding us about the Tao of Midwifery.  What Clarissa Pinkola Estes describes as the Birth*Life*Death*Birth cycle.

In short...

Things arise and the midwife lets them come.
Things leave and the midwife lets them go...
Laying no claim..and therefore everything lasts forever.

“Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.” -Richard Bach, ILLUSIONS

COLOR.FULL JOURNEY Lucas!  Please allow adventure to dish you up a huge helping of everything, and when we meet again exaggerate it to the fullest.  I love how the story of life oozes, squirts, seeps, dances, emanates, sweats, and staggers through YOU....and smooch Miss Caroline for ME please.

“Oh Lord God, grant me the Grace to produce a few good versus, which shall prove to myself that I am not the lowest of wo.man, that I am not inferior to those whom I despise”

-Charles Baudelaire

Personally...I can think of no one whom I despise...however....I feel the depth of the desire to produce applicable, interesting, and usable (to someone) offerings.  It's exciting and somewhat vulnerable to begin here.  Again, a finding of the self.  Interestingly enough...not the SAME self that I've ever encountered before.  How can that be?
