Dear Ones,
Over the past few weeks I have had the privilege to step back from organizational roles I have been playing for the past couple of years. There was no movement away or against, just a clear knowing from stillness that this whole system needed to rest, to unhook from a matrix of planning and structure and fall deeply open as the liminal, the non-linear, the muddy earth of unknown and unknowing. This body needed to swim in salt water, press hard into red clay, feel the liquid touch of newly blossomed petals on the skin. My whole nervous system needed to absorb early morning sun and drink in birdsong of spring - red winged black birds and robins - listen to the creek running full and fast as the snow melts in the high country. To feel the lengthening days in the spaces within and between all facets of apparent form.
In this deep rest, this deep surrender as the heaviness of soil and mulch, the mind rests - loosens any contraction of identity, identification, imagined someoneness and separateness. Such a relief. All awareness falling back and down, dissolving as its own Self - nothing, no one. Quiet, free. No past or future, no time, no form, nothing that isn’t this and nothing that is. Nothing, no thing. Even the words “birdsong” and “earth” are too much, too heavy and limiting to describe the vastness of pure being as it rises and falls, dances and plays, as it naturally rests in this moment.
You are all welcome to join me this month to discover what deep rest feels like, what is naturally here when all energy of doing and becoming stops, just for a moment.
We plan to gather by zoom on Saturday May 4th from 10am to 11:30am Mountain time & all are welcome.
