Catching Prayers

I had a couple of tough days, focused on the negatives that were showing up in the tiniest of ways while the positive joy was like a light show around me. All I could feel was the weight of the tiny, because that is where my focus was.

I sent out a prayer for calm, for love, for presence.

In that prayer I pulled all of those things into my reality, I shifted. I stepped back into the flow, I sat down and enjoyed the light show.

And while that sounds beautiful, it is hard as hell to do sometimes. That is why we journey. We practice.

We show up for each other, to catch our prayers in love and blow them out as blessings into the wind together.

A few requests to join the journey each day, so I've kept the registration open for a bit. If you sign up now, you'll have links to each of the previous days letters in your morning letter. Take your time, go at your own pace, dig into the soulwork.

The Wings of Gratitude

I do not have a must-do practice of gratitude. My gratitude has wings. It flies around me and flutters in my path. There are days when my field, my spirit is filled with the wings of gratitude. There are moments when I am lost in the chaos of un-centeredness and wings do not appear.

My gratitude has wings as it flows into my life when I am present, open and truthful. It flutters out the moment I yell without control or hold in tightly the honesty of my voice. And that happens. Yes. That is my lesson, flipped into my gift to share, of being in this moment. Of being honest. And the wings will flutter, they always let me know. Their silence is a sadness and stillness, a time for reflecting on the connections I still must make.

In that sadness and stillness of wings I ask for what will allow me calm, patience, time, energy, joy, space, love, passion...shhhhhhhhh. Only in the stillness do we hear. Only in the stillness do the wings prepare once again for flight.

I open up to the answers. I feel the wings of gratitude fluttering in my spirit as I connect back to my rhythm, my ritual, my daily gifts of joy.
