Amen

"Life is like that sometimes. Every now and then, we can feel it changing before our eyes; it’s as if we standing on dirt, and watching the earth shift and move beneath our feet. It is blindingly fast, and we must find the courage to hold on. I admit to being terrified of this in many ways for many reasons, but some say that the things we are most afraid of, are the things we should run furiously into; arms spread wide, around our open hearts. But fear, my friends, is only fear. It is one of those things in life that can be completely paralyzing, and can keep us from living fully and finding our truth. So off I go. I simply must trust my heart, as frightening as that may be sometimes. Not to metion the fact, that my joy in this, completely outshines the fear. My knowing that this is my path, is so much stronger than the unknown places i visit. I simply cannot ignore it, as it won’t go away, and it seems to grow brighter by the hour. So I leap, flying from the edge of the cliff. Faith. What a glorious concept. And who knows where this will all take me? Life will tell me, if only I have the courage to listen. So much of this, so much of my life right now, is about me having the strength to trust the universe. To listen closely, and live an honest life."


The above quotes are from The Great Sitting, written in a time of great change.

I feel like those words ring true in my heart, so deep that they find a place to settle and soak in. There is no better way to describe it. The rush of change has been so quick, so effortless, that we have no choice but to follow. We have been waiting for these last 24 hours for 9 months and now that it is here we are grabbing on and holding tight.
