We are 120 days into the New Year cycle. A year of “Re-imaging the Evolution of You.” Most pages for this year will still need to be written. It is in the doing, your actions that writes the pages of this year, and find Life in bud anew, waiting to be uncovered. How shall we do it? We all know that life is never uninteresting, it has always had some twist and turns and it is never in a straight line, thou in its seasons you may think it so, it is a non linear time loop.
In this season, we will inevitably be asked to create and breathe into new life concepts that have lost their meaning along the way. Words like “growth” and “accomplishment” must be seeded with new vision and brought alive again in the fire of direct experience.
In many ways, the path has very little to do with just “growing, ” but like Spring time, recycling what appears to be the old branches on a tree. Branches barren from shed leaves and deflated canapes. Yet we, like all of nature in Spring are about the business of reorganization, shedding, and sprouting to bring about new growth, . Thus like the tree, “growing” is also about pruning, recycling, and reorganization. Those processes that make room forsprouts or “new growth” within us.
Let us feel that creative urge bring into being that which has not-seen within us before. Realizing it is the ancient and wild urge of Love wanting a new form from us. What should that form be? Love’s manifestations in life has many possibilities, thus it is in the realm of your attention to movement within the twist and turns of life, within the field of not-knowing that new meaning can emerge.
For many of us, “success” has come to refer to a condition removed from Love, in which I no longer have to be in direct contact with my vulnerability, my sensitivity, and only in touch with a small band of the emotional spectrum. But this is not “success.”. In part yes, partiality, but it will not satisfy the longing for wholeness that demand that Love fulfills, that has been placed inside us from our Source.
From Source, Agape (Love), as the reference point, makes all of our previous success just organized stepping stones in our life to be re-calibrated answers from questions that move us deeper, into a dark rich pregnant realizations of new discoveries and reformulations that are converted from pure essence.
Yes, the Spring season seems to give clean pages upon which to write. Each day a new page is waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, compared, embraced, and all to be loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived.
Likewise you will find other areas of your life with its demands for some spring cleaning of pass transgressions. For each new future there is a reevaluating, reorganizing, shedding, or cleaning out of the old that takes place. Spring cleaning is in full swing.
Today carve out that quiet time just for yourself in which to dream and consider maybe even jot down a new page or chapter for the year. Remember only dreams give birth to change for this trans-formative year of self-discovery.
I want to close with an action item for you, retold in the words of William James – “To change one’s life:
1.) Start immediately. 2.) Do it flamboyantly. 3.) No exceptions.”
“All the tools and engines on earth are only extensions of man’s limbs and senses.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
