Last night, I returned home from a 2-month journey to India, Norway, and Germany, going deep into my own practice and commitment to truth, assisting in Awakening Women retreats, and falling on my knees again and again in raw and tender gratitude for this precious, blessed life I am given, breath by breath, moment by moment, tiny opening by tiny opening.
I feel I have been torn apart, loved ferociously, and held through it all.
I feel the realm of possibility expanding within me and around me.
I feel a deep surrender into the unknown. ?
I don’t know why or how or who I am, what life is, what creates a deep breath or my longing or the space between things…
Yet I feel a profound reverence for this unknowable, great mystery of life breathing me, surprising me with unshakable joy and bone-trembling vulnerability, intense feeling, soulfully intimate experience, and never-ending loads of laundry and dishes to be washed amidst it all.
I am diving in layer after layer into the depths of my being, and esoteric as it sounds, this simply means I find myself in constant wonder of what it means to be alive.? This simply means I practice going about my life with a subtle openness to however this experience of life presents itself to me, pleasant or unpleasant, comfortable or uncomfortable.
I am diving in layer after layer into the depths of my being, and esoteric as it sounds, this simply means I find myself in constant wonder of what it means to be alive, over and over again.? This simply means I practice going about my life with a subtle openness to however this experience of life presents itself to me, pleasant or unpleasant, comfortable or uncomfortable, light or dark.
This simply means I follow the thread of impulses I feel not just from my body, mind, heart, or gut, but from some uncharted organ of the soul where body, mind, heart, and gut meet.? And this thread has led me here.? Right here.
Now, here, and nowhere.
Oh yes.
I am
here.
Breathing life, breathing death, breathing all,
Dominique
