When do our tales begin? And, where do they end? What makes a tale worth telling?
Is your life tale worth telling?
(of course it is)
How do we craft and construct a compelling narrative - one that pulls us in, inspires us to m~oVe, take part and ACT in this moment,
n-o-w?
I don't know.
I never know.
I just like asking the questions.
Yuba calls me, "Cara-hageous!"
And, perhaps, this is a path towards courage ~
merely having the audacity to ask questions.
Listening is also vital, for it isn't simply enough to ask. One must have the
patience
to actually stick around and
listen for what comes.
(P.S. there is NO one "right" way or answer.)
(P.S.S take deep breath in here. and again.
repeat and repeat.)
personally, the more i breathe in, ask, sit down
and l~i~s~t~e~n - to the mangy mutt barking on the street corner, to the timeless wisdom that arises from deep within my spirit, to the quiet tragedy of a world gone mad - the less i "know," yet the more prosperous i feel.
personally, my tales always begin
right here
right n-o-w,
hearing the black winged crow cawing outside
across these San Diego rooftops
watching a thick marine layer recede back into vapor feeling energy trapped and stuck around my lungs, and heart chakra my breath is shallow my mind a bit distracted seeing a southern sun's rays fall across our wood floor experiencing this, nothing more nothing less. just this.
i am okay with this.
and, i hope you are too.
nonetheless, i especially enjoy when this moment, n-o-w, includes YOU.
when we are celebrating and reveling together.
when we dance and we sing, when we drum and we chant.
when we simply enjoy this be-ing human
this shared journey
on our great spaceship in the sky
as we tumble in ease and grace over and under
revolving
circling
supporting and experiencing. nothing new under the sun. just this. only and ever this.
(i want to celebrate solstice again. perhaps here, at the hive. tuesday, dec 21st. evening ceremony & ritual. anyone?)
