Soul-stice

Happy Summer Solstice to our sisters in the Northern Hemisphere and Happy Winter Solstice to our sisters in the South.

As we celebrate the still point between the coming and going of the Light, we are invited into reflection and celebration.


It has been a big week for me.
I couraged up and mended things enough with my family to be able to go to my dad\u2019s surgery on Friday.

With the inevitable twists and turns of hurt feelings, old wounds, and tensions running high - it could have gone down a lot of ways\u2026

But somehow we managed to keep our hearts open enough to Be With each other and to allow both our Love and our Pain to co-exist.

I cleared a lot and I learned A LOT.

And my dad is doing miraculously well.

He\u2019s actually being released from the hospital today - minus a third of each of his lungs.
Choosing to become this intimate with life makes my heart ache.

The Beautiful Suffering of the human condition at its best and worst.

It\u2019s not just my family\u2026 everywhere, the breathtaking beauty of Creation alongside the painful ignorance and violence of suffering.

I am learning there is nothing to Make Sense Of.

Releasing the mind from trying to armor itself in logic and reason, or a plan to fix or support, change or resist.

But what is left without our defenses?

When the seed releases its hard shell of protection in favor of the vulnerability of growth, there is much peril.

Everything stacked against \u201csuccess\u201d and even evolution.

And yet\u2026 The Light dreams a dream of the seed\u2019s Becoming.

The inevitability of Return activating the release of its hardened capsule in favor of the tender journey of New Life.

Wandering, struggling, pushing against the obstacles without reaching back for what has been cast away.

Only gently unfurling into What Is.

And Dancing there in the golden Re-Union of Soul-stice.
