February is Embracing Divine Mystery
Hello Dear One,
I wanted to share a little bit about February's theme and some really special ways we can be together in community this month.
February is embracing divine mystery
Oh mystery. Something our minds are not so comfortable with, but our souls LOVE.
Our souls long to take the journey into the "divine dark." To say yes to the treasure chests of grace and wonder that live there.
Those journeys that bring us into moments of awe and inspire us to revel in the parts of life that are just unexplainable.
Our minds fear the journey of the wanderer and the dreamer (with good reason) the journey is unknown and logic cannot be applied to much of the experience.
We can have compassion and understanding for this, it's our mind's job to protect us after all.
But we must take the journey - even if it's just one slow, brave, shaking step at a time, with a million pauses in between.
We must have the courage to embrace the dark, the mystery, because something very important waits for us there...
In the words of Clarissa Pinkola Estes, "what can be seen in the dark cannot necessarily be seen in daylight."
What she is saying is that our senses shift out of the ordinary when we let our soul lead us toward that which is seeking us.
We feel our way forward with our body rather than our physical eyes.
The ancient and wise inner compass that lives within us becomes louder and louder and louder. And our mind becomes quieter. Allowing the journey to transform us, to reshape us.
And then we get to bring whatever it is that we discovered back with us into our everyday lives.
A fresh orientation to life that is more open, more enchanted, more clear about what's important to us and what feeds our soul.
We cannot stay in the divine dark. We have a a whole world to bring those treasures back to. Cultures and ecologies to impact with our new perspective.
Dreams of liberation to be shared.
Next week I'll offer an archetype that I think can really support us with this theme so keep an eye out for that in your inbox
Thank you so much for being here, beautiful souls.
Here's to a soul nourishing month ahead.
Love,
Josie
