living at the threshold

In a time where there is more and more unknown and uncertainty, it can be tempting to either mentally generate some semblance of certainty about the future, about what's going to happen, about what you or we are going to do or aren't going to do.  The other tendency to quell the discomfort of the unknown is to retreat into a kind of safe-zone, or known territory where there's a sense of certainty in what can be controlled, predicted or monitored.  Although both of these strategies may provide a type of relief, they can also cut us off from unseen forces of grace, love and beauty that can manifest in the unknown.  I recorded a meditation exploring this theme of Living at the Threshold.  I've included the recording at the end of this blog if you'd like to listen in.  If you're finding it hard to get in touch with your inner strength, or haven't found your true edge that encourages aliveness and exuberance, or would like to receive some support to breathe fully amidst uncertainty and instability, I'd be happy to be your ally.  Visit my session page to learn more about my one-on-one offerings. 

Here is the poem that I read aloud at the end of the meditation:

Walking Into Uncertainty
 
Withholding forgiveness
Expecting others to know better even though they have no access to their loving, creative capacities
Many are still mesmerized by the fear-based focus on survival and accumulation of resources
Trying to protect themselves from the unknown that could destroy them
The question being, how to get more in order to feel safe and secure
No answer will satisfy
No amount of stuff will lead to a feeling of peace
It’s not easy to let go of all the conditioning
The time will come though
If an end to suffering is desired
Life will show us how
When we are ready to listen
Accessing compassion for what has been and what is now
Things are exactly as they should be
Given the patterns and belief systems we have internalized throughout time
If we’re willing, open and receptive new possibilities can show up
Creating a new reality through participation in the unknown
Becoming comfortable with uncertainty
Acknowledging fear and anxiety as part of the process
Dropping the masks
Opening our hearts and minds
Accepting the experience of growth
Discovering sources of support for new ways of being and doing
Enhancing our ability to love and be present with one another
Living our truth
Revealing our authentic Self to the world
Saying Yes to life

~Poem Written by me in 2011
