WHAT IT MEANS TO FLY ✨

Today on 11/11/21, I had the most profound realization.

As I was sitting at the lake basking in the sun 🌞 I sank into meditation. As I received the sunlight into my heart I felt my spirit rise and fly right out of my chest 🕊

Like the wings of a divine bird it flew and it flew and it flew and it traveled, traversed…it glided its way around the world, into every crevice, into every being, every country, every town…I felt a deep sense of interconnectedness 🧘🏻‍♀️

I realized that the heart of my soul lies in each of you and you in me. And thus I am Everywhere and everything. Not I in the personal sense, just the almighty I 🙌🏽

That means all the laughter, all the joy is mine. Just as the sorrow and suffering is too. We exist in an incomprehensible magical otherworldly web of creation and destruction. And we are tiny specks of stardust that somehow contain it all 🌌

We are here to come alive. We are here to love. We are here to see one another in ourselves 👁We are here to see ourselves in one another 👁
When we know ourselves as love and we recognize the love in all beings, we are a mirror 🪞 shining back at itself.

Love’s only desire is to fulfill itself and that’s what it means to be free 🦅. No need for war or hate, unnecessary suffering or greed.

We are here.
I see you.
You see me.
This is our collective legacy.

We can only live this when our hearts are fully open, when we learn to alchemize the poison of our wounds 🥀 into honey 🍯

This begins with knowing, facing and accepting the truth. Being real with ourselves.

Then comes forgiveness. The most powerful tool in my healing treasure chest.

Followed by the gift of unconditional love. A love without if’s or but’s. A love that just is 💗

Imagine a world where people knew their truth, were equipped to forgive and who loved without condition 💞

Where might our spirits fly then? No barriers. No limits. Here there and everywhere 🙌🏽

As Rumi says,
“This is love:
to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of life.
In the end, to take a step without feet;
to regard this world as invisible,
and to disregard what appears to be the self.

Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers,
to see beyond seeing itself,
to reach and feel within the breast.”
🙏🏽

I am you this person driving to work 🚙
I am you this newborn baby with the fuzzy socks and pink bear hat 👶🏻
I am you the man carrying mail up the block 📬
I am you on my morning workout 🏃🏻‍♀️
I am you who just moved into a new home 🏡
I am you who just got back from an adventure in the desert 🏜
I am you who planted a tree 🌳
I am you deep on your healing journey 👣
I am you just trying to survive.
I am you with grief & heartbreak 💔
I am you in rapture & ecstasy 💞

And you are me too.
You are a woman on the rise 🙌🏽
You are a woman who’s learning to know herself, trust herself and love herself fully 💞
You are a spirit in a human body who sees love through her windows 🪟
Who loves the smell of roses 🌹 and desert rain ☔️
You are here.
I am
Here.

We are here together. And we’ve been given the gift of life 💝

So let’s receive it. Let’s fully receive the generosity of the universe. In all it’s wholeness, the highs and the lows.

There’s nothing better than this.
I see you.
I know you.
I trust you.
I love you.
I am you.

This is what it means to fly 🦅
