A Birth Announcement
Is Coming Soon
With every birth comes an announcement. In life’s journey, the birth announcement
arrives as the new parents are already becoming emerged in a new way of
life. Restless sleep, a restructuring of
daily life, and new belief structures all surrounding the new life. In many ways this is what is occurring in the
world around us. Time shifting, merging,
letting go all unfolding as a new paradigm is birthed creating dramatic shifts
as the unfolding occurs.
The real question is are we listening? Are we hearing what needs to be
released? Are we seeing the old
intentions are in need of being released?
Do we see the imbalance that exists forcing the swing of the pendulum? The signs are all around us. Mother Nature speaks to us in all her
divinity; yet, her voice whispers and it is imperative we pause to hear her.
I often refer to it as “unplugging”. Unplugging and disconnecting from the
technology filled world we live in.
Simply put: turn off the
television, unplug the computer, and putting away the smart phones. Taking time to sit in Mother Nature to
listen, to see, and to really experience the re-calibration and re-balancing of
our own being. As a culture, we are
dependent upon technology. It allows us
to touch the souls of those across the globe from the comfort of our own living
rooms. We communicate, read, see, and
even feel one another through light waves of technology. Technology has opened new doorways.
We walk through the technology doorway and many times forget
to return to dirt. Return to smelling
the roses and singing with the birds.
This forgetting has led us to become imbalanced in intentions and belief
structures that no longer work- literally closing the door to our brothers and
sisters in nature.
Each morning the sun rises in the East blessing us with
light for the day. Mother Earth nurtures
and supports the ground our feet walk upon.
The moon moves the waters to ebb and flow and wash away to cleanse. The winds carry our prayers upon them. All of
life dances whether we “unplug” to notice it or not.
As we approach the moments of receiving the birth
announcement, dreams become alive. We
wonder in awe what the new life will be, how will it look, how will it
sing? We wonder what the experience of
holding the new life within will be. Anticipation. Then we move on to our next moment, encased
in the old ritual of plugging in to old beliefs, old patterns, and imbalanced
living.
We are all receiving the birth announcement. We are all already preparing for the new life
as it is already here. We can become
disengaged ‘parents’, over tired, apathetic to the needs of the new life or we
can re-calibrate our priorities, regenerate our belief structure, and ‘unplug’
to rejoice and celebrate the experience of holding the new life.
So as this birth announcement has been mailed and we await
to open it to see the picture of the new life, I invite you to pause to
celebrate, to rejoice, and to remember – remember that all of life is watching.
