Rest, reassessment and vision

Seems time for a seasonal slow down. Many of the wedding couples I was teaching over the summer have gone and gotten married. It's nice to have some time to relax and reassess. It's amazing how much I learn everyday by just paying attention. Opportunities seem to appear out of thin air! Of course I know that there's a lot more going on in that "thin air" than the phraseology of it implies. All those radio waves our thoughts create are traveling around connecting with whatever they can find that matches their frequency so they can combine with them and create more of the same. So I've been spending much time practicing mindfulness and committing to my vision. It's a big step, a big deal to committ to a vision that only lives in my head. It's scary and risky and OHHHH sooooo rewarding when I start to see that it's beginning to manifest and others are starting to see (and hold) what I have held for so long. Ahhhh faith. Trusting that the unseen, and only felt or desired can and will become "real". It's magic. The magic isn't without effort, actually that is part of the magic, keeping faith that it can happen and exercising the will to continue to move into it.

So my vision of Social dance as a Spiritual Path is truly inspiring to me. The opportunity to facilitate something that is so fun and can be so transformative, peace building and heart opening totally jazzes me up. I hope someday this message will get out to those who need to hear it. Until then, I'll keep making my offering awaiting with open heart those who will step forward to recieve it.
