SPRING IS FOR RESURRECTION


Spring is the perfect time for starting new projects and taking action that brings us into greater awareness of our constant and irrefutable interdependence with Nature. As a creature whose nervous system is keyed to respond to everything from the amount of daylight to the planet’s magnetic field, we have the soaring birthing energy of Spring available to us right now as wind at our backs.


I suggest that you use that energy to resurrect the feeling, noticing, being that you truly are. Every time you hear the birds, see a nest, or take a deep breath of sweet spring air, the ancient, vast, always calm Being that you are stirs a little. Wakes a little. And the power and magic of our interconnectedness rises to the surface and reminds us, with every bud and leaf, that we are creatures who sail through time supported by an immense web of connection.


This is the time of year when daydreams lure us away from work and obligations, when our dreams call to us, drawing us towards our desires and our potential.  It’s the time when our imaginations, ignited by the spring rains, bursting blossoms and quickened earth make us pregnant with hopes and wishes. Alert us to who we might become and what adventures we might have if only we allowed ourselves to follow those urges and act on those desires.


Don’t inhibit yourself. Don’t stuff those dreams in your sock drawer or let your mental noise force you to ignore those urges in favor of some usual distraction or obligation. Put your bare feet on the earth. Lie under the night sky and let yourself fly free. Dance on the water’s edge at sunrise and call your desires forth, making plans and taking actions that honor these deep and powerful callings. Allow Spring to quicken within you the hope of becoming the person you always imagined you could be- then act on that knowing. Risk the ordinary to gain the extraordinary self that you are.


I invite you to allow the Resurrection of your True Self to take place.  Give birth to your Wiser Self through your attention and conscious actions. Be in communion with the feeling, hearing, seeing, knowing Being whose inner guidance we so often diminish and silence by allowing our usual habitual reasonable limiting thoughts and behaviors to numb us to the glorious potent possibilities that are clamoring to get our attention.


Give yourself over to those dreams and tend the seeds that have been planted in your imagination. A new life, a New You is possible now. Be bold. Be fierce. Spring is for Resurrection.
