Bleeding Edge

Friends,

Since last year 2022 ended – we began a new circuit around our own beautiful sunstar, twirling amidst the galaxies at a great rate of speed, and yet we are still standing upright, shaken, stirred but not defeated, like a good martini…

So now let us take the time to slow down, take a really deep breath and start walking again forward and toward the sun, because you can’t see your past nor your shadows, if you want to go forth into the Future.

So,

Take a deep breath, quiet your heart and listen deeply, but don’t stare…

Don’t stare because there is so much stuff going-on, that best is to abscond from that reality, avert your eyes and look up into the sky.

Yes, there are clouds out there… yet also blue skies, sunshine and the Heavens up above. Look up, and focus on the breaking sun, because if you keep looking for troubles, and if you keep staring into those fissures and faults on the surface of this earth — you might find that the abyss is staring back at you.

And yet …

Look into your heart and you’ll remember that all will be well.

You know that already.

Don’t you?

Yes — you do.

Yet you keep calm and carry on

And you feel how underneath it all is a vast silence

and a spaciousness that holds everything in its balance.

Living in these seasons of change, I feel deep gratitude for the teachings of my Mentors, Teachers and Colleagues and for being connected to a loving community of Friends, Family and Loves.

Yes, maybe that is why in the long run, I am hopeful.

Yes, I am hopeful that in our human iteration, there are inevitable periods of grave difficulty, personal pain and collective hurt, but on our way to the divine — we have to be strong.

Yet with wisdom and a good heart, our personal sufferings can temper us and help us live with dignity and find an indestructible spirit in ourselves. And in the same way, we can learn to bear the difficulties of the world with compassion and courageously do what we can to mend the broken places.

Yet difficulties are never the end of the story. There is always a return of the light.

Solstice, Chanukah, Christmas, New Year’s, Kwanzaa and all other holidays are just outer celebrations of an unstoppable renewal that is life itself.

There is always grass that pushes itself through the cracks in the sidewalk. You are this life force constantly being reborn every morning at breakfast.

And while the news often features the worst of humanity, there are a billion acts of human kindness every hour of every day!

So now — please take another breath, see and sense this truth.

Recognize that even our big problems are part of a long march demanding us to honor our human connection, our interdependence with all life.

Our fears and terrors can be activated by the news, but they are not who we are.

We are consciousness itself, loving awareness, born into this body and having a wild human ride. What will you do with this human dance?

A most trustworthy and blessed project is to align yourself with compassion, to plant seeds of goodness, to use the creative force of your life to bring understanding, awakening and love to all. Foster trust in life’s renewal power.

Martin Luther King, Jr. describes our collective journey with hope: “The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.”

And Pablo Neruda explains further,

“You can pick all the flowers, but you can’t stop the spring.”

Renewal is happening.

Take quiet time to listen to your heart, to meditate and to rest amidst the great turnings.

Feel the renewal of spring that can be born in you.

Align yourself with goodness.

Let yourself blossom like a lotus or whatever unique flower you are, shining in the world, spreading your seeds of love amidst it all.

Blessings to you all & welcome to the New Year.

Keep in mind that I am Not Taking Anything With Me Into 2023!

If you owe me, don’t worry about it!

If you wronged me, it’s all good!

If you’re beefing with me, you win!

If we aren’t speaking, it’s cool.

Be safe, and I still wish you well.

If you’re talking about me…thanks for the advertisement.

If you don’t deal with me, continue not to.

If you don’t like me, I’m going to be ok.

If you left me hanging, don’t pick me up.

If you feel I wronged you, hit me up, I apologize!

In all things, I forgive you!

Life is TOO SHORT for all these externalities and completely UNNECESSARY DRAMA.

No one is promised tomorrow, and 2022 has taught us a lot, so let us not carry it into 2023.

Be Blessed AND Be A Blessing!

Too Blessed To Be Stressed!

You get nothing but love from me and my staff.

Happy New Year my friends, and please keep looking up, at the stars.

Yours,

Dr Churchill
