Which also meant that my day would likely involve tears and being uncomfortable and not being able to say “Fine!” when anyone asked how I was doing today. All the stuff my mind loves to bookmark for workshops, long walks with dear friends—you know, more appropriate times. Not right in the middle of my life. How rude.
So, because I trust my practice and know that the highest truth for me is to move in and through whatever is here, particularly when the tug is strong, I did. I know there is always a gift waiting for me when I take care to do “the work.” For me this ultimately means the need to feel, heal and deal with whatever is here and not climb over it! So, I cried through getting my hair cut, before and after my radio show, at the acupuncturist, in the parking lot—and eventually realized what it was that my dream was trying to tell me. That I was sad and needed to cry. That’s all.
Some of it was old, some of it was current; bottom line, I had stuffed and been stuffing some grief and simply needed to feel it, so it waited and then spilled over ‘cause I couldn’t hold it back any more. The difference between me today and even ten years ago is; today I know that it’s okay to be sad, to feel whatever, wherever and whenever I need to. It’s part of how I love myself. Funnily enough, I didn’t apologize as much, and I didn’t tell a long story to some of the folks who saw me cry, I just said whatever made me feel more comfortable. As a result of being true to myself, I got some great hugs and much-needed Kleenex. Imagine that!!
When I got home a friend had sent me this Hopi prayer and I thought, “How Divine is that! The gifts are already beginning to pour in as I emptied out.” So I thought I would pass my story and it along, just in case you need a hug, some hope or maybe permission to have a good cry! Enjoy…
HOPI MESSAGE
“You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour.
And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships? Are you in right relationship?
Where is your water? Know your garden.
It is a time to speak your Truth.
Create your community. Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river.
See who is in there with you.
And celebrate.
At this time in history we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all ourselves.
For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
