As we celebrate Equinox/Mabon, my attention is focused on balance. I am grateful for the reminder as it feels like we need this more than ever. Then again, Nature always offers us solutions and reminders if we are willing to listen. For the last six months, when I have asked about the pandemic, I am told to focus on compassion, that compassion is the biggest lesson for us now. Compassion is active; it is cultivated. The truth is that it takes great courage to respond with compassion, to witness someone in their wounding, or to be willing to respond with Love when someone causes harm to you or others.
A Revolution of Love
Have you ever really looked at a Flower, gazed in wonder at ki’s form or color or smell? Or held a Seed in your hand while thinking of the eventual Plant that will come from this tiny Being?
I do this often, which tends to result in tears of utter joy and amazement, as well as, an overwhelming sense of humility. The humility helps to bring back into perspective my current issue, as I realize that whatever “huge mountain” I am dealing with is really minuscule and nothing in the face of the miracles of this world. From this place, I can see that possibilities exist way beyond my imagination and that I am not alone.
