A Circuitous Path

I used to find awakening a very romantic world. My nature required certain stories upheld over the years so I would not leave behind the primary reason to be earth-bound, again. In that world of stories, populated by experiences of overnight awakening, I would wake up quickly and spend time integrating in any way necessary. After all, sudden awakening has been part of many people's lives. I kept ordering that as if it was on a menu. The mind appreciated something rapid and tidy so that it could stay intact and simply rejoin a newly transformed human. By the time I was neck deep, which is now, a different reality had emerged. I should say it continues to emerge with a force that often unleashes doubt. Doubt is the kindest word I can use at the moment. Our minds do not like to give up territory.

Here I would like to say that embarking on an awakening journey is like being a pioneer in an unexplored terrain. Those of us here for this just know. There are points of no return that require the light and love of Awareness to hold space for our path; at this time we don't have many recognizable physical mirrors needed to support us. I can share here that nature is the one profound mirror I trust. Within nature, I also feel drawn to certain aspects (trees and bees) that mirror a perfect integrity. I trust this so deeply that I just know it is possible to heal and thus awaken by slowing down and being with these expressions of Source. We are finding our way, returning to the ancient and sacred wisdom of union with Gaia and her life.

I do understand why the mind considers a straight path Home to be more efficient, as if efficiency is a 'thing' in awakening! Even a circuitous path is messy, but it has the capacity to leave a slow trail for some to locate, and walk, for a little while.

So much love.
