We are walking
along
Waves come CRASHING
Into us
Through us
Around us
Knocking us off our
center
Pulling us out of
our comfort zone
Taking us under
Holding us against
our will
Stealing our breath
We gasp for air
We kick
We fight
We flail
Trying to get to
safety
Wanting ground
beneath our feet
Surrendering to
this power greater than us
We ride out the
seas
The flow of
energies
Carrying us where
we need to go
A necessary journey
Into the depths of
life
Within us
Ushering us into
worlds
Within this world
& beyond
Washed up on NEW
SHORES
Here I am
What’s next?
I
awakened with a flood of energy pulsing through me that was exciting in a way I
have never experienced yet a familiar dance of letting go and reaching for more. There was a
distinct knowing: I am being washed up on new shores.
I smiled, delighting in my dear friend, Lois’s wisdom: I
recommend the attitude of the jellyfish which rides out the seas because it
goes along with them. She had shared
that one liner with me during a time when the waves came crashing in sweeping me out
where I didn’t want to go but had no choice as it was necessary for my soul's journey.
She assured me: You’re really good at riding out the seas! and as I look back at the whole of my
life, I know this to be true with all of me.
I
don’t know what these new shores I have washed up on this day hold and the miracle of my life is I don’t
have to. I have navigated new shores
that I have washed up on again and again and again since my first breath and I know
there are more to come as there is no end until my last breath. It is really all good as it has led me here – everything has served me. I enter
each day saying: Here I am! What’s next? I plan and I let life unfold. I show up.
I trust. Moment by moment, day by
day, I make my way in life leaning in to the direct experiences that are
presented grateful as I am ushered into worlds within me and beyond. This flowing with life is freedom in the
release of needing life to be a certain way in order for me to love it, grounded in my gifts,
privileged to be a soul expressing uniquely as Kathy, in awe of my life and seeing the profound beauty, the magnificence
of all life no matter how ugly it may appear.
The
invitation this day is to welcome the new shores you are washed up on. Let them open you to more of who you
are. Look back on your life and see the
new shores you have traveled so courageously time and time again. Appreciate your journey and recognize that you
are the hero in your story. Let this remind you of all that lies within
you, the power to move mountains fueled by faith in your Self and assisting
forces that blow the graces of the universe through you even at times when it
doesn’t feel like it. Stand on the new
shores with both feet planted on the ground and your heart connected to the
heavens and say: Here I am. What’s next?
