 Today I needed more Hope...the thing with feathers (Emily Dickinson!). I started thinking about hope; how is it different from faith? Then i thought of the 3 emotional/spiritual realities that will “remain”...and in a moment of Faith Imagination, I allowed myself to imagine a literal picture of these realities. I saw Faith as a sort of ground to stand on, and Hope as a kind of bubble or energy field around me that could vary, and finally-- Love as the texture and quality in the air that I breathe.
Faith and hope seem to be more in and about this world...Love spans this life and then whatever is beyond. They are all realities; bio-chemical states in our bodies, and we can see the effects of them in each other, as they manifest themselves in us and others. All of us. And when they are absent, we can see the effects and affects of those conditions also...we humans have so many ways to recognize and understand each other that go beyond speech, sight, hearing and touch. We are born with “mirror neurons”, which help us connect with each other, and there is a phenomena called entrainment, which is a physics phenomenon involving connection, and the whole inner and intuitive process of sensing and hunches. These are not special senses just for some -- we all have them, and some of us are just more practiced and attuned to their presence. May you have a full awareness and experience of these 3 final realities and Rest in Love! 1/10/2024 New Beginnings I’ve heard it said “you can start your day over anytime you want” and that probably goes for years, as well! In fact, since years are made of days, and days are made of moments—how will you purpose to fully inhabit this moment? I’m talking about being present in this moment, your moment…what is your choice for how you want to live in it, and what is the meaning in what you are doing? Victor Frankl who lived in a concentration camp wrote that despite his imprisonment, they could not control his mindset—I think that is true for all of us if we make that decision. Frankl took advantage of the space between stimulus and response; and you can too!  This moment in time is the only one we have, the only one we can take action in, the only one in which we can turn our face to something bigger than ourselves to ask for help if we need it. If these are questions that resonate for you —and if you would like some support in exploring them, let me know at: [email protected] -for a complimentary session to explore those questions! Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with New Beginnings!
