I like to say it isn't personal - these gifts we receive from each other; life lessons wrapped up in the gauze of space and time. More and more, I am referring to it as MEDICINE. We each carry our own. A very specific dose, we can administer it as we deem fit. The more we peel back all of the layers of fear and loathing - all of the sadness and the anger that we've wrapped around our vulnerable hearts in response to this mad world; the more we can prescribe our antidotes with joyful abandon and without the heaviness of shame or guilt weighing down our collective consciousness, the happier we will bee.
So, I like to say it isn't personal. And, when the time is ripe, I will make it personal. I will exclaim that it's YOU - you are the ONE. The Only. A magnificent healer. A powerful sage. A trusted confidante and a wise leader. A heart-busted wide open warrior willing to face discomfort, brave to stand in front of chaos without being blown over. He who has a courageous lion heart. Eyes of a visionary. Hands in the dirt. Real-time, material demonstrations of vibrant LOVE manifested in this here and now. I will bow down in humility and HONOR YOU.
