The Sky Is So Beautiful

Sometimes less clarity is more.

It is cool but light out later.

Spring it coming.

It is not here, despite it is technically here based on the date of the calendar.

But, it is coming.

Tonight was the first night I felt the urge to go and sit out on my patio and watch the sun go down.

Not that that is an accurate description of what I saw. It was cloudy, so I could not actually see the sun set. But I did watch the sky for an hour as it changed from grey blue to the grey black of night.

Whew! What a beauty I experienced just sitting there in the fading of the light.

Everything is slow right now, and a little grey. If you are intuitive, or just present in your life, you likely know what I mean. This spring has been a slog.

Between the cyclical frost and torrential rain I have not yet been able to plant my garden - over a month later than normal.

Nature’s slow arrival this year is a mirror for our own. It always is.

Tonight, I felt hope. Spring is now, finally, coming.

I believe this slow arrival has something do to with its magnitude.

Every spring the world asks us to grow - to shoot up new sprouts, to step into a versions of ourselves we have not been before. This year is no different. But this year, the asks have been greater. The kind of growth that is wholistic, and a loooong time coming,

Evolutionary, not just seasonal.

For me, this has certainly been the case. The breakthroughs I have already experienced, and the courage I have been invited to find, and have found, has been around things I have been working on for a decade. The transformation of my life resulting from my yes to these asks, has already been monumental.

I have experienced glimpses of the profound joy and peace - the ecstasy - that is possible on the other side. There is more coming.

But, as always, only if I keep saying yes. And only if I keep being willing - being courageous enough - to be with the discomfort and fear these changes bring.

The same possibilities are there for you, too, I am confident. The tangible aspects will be different, of course, but the magnitude of the possible yes before you will be the same.

Will you keep being the version of you that is shut down to the full expression of your soul, or will you shed past hurts and be with the fear of irrelevancy, failure and rejection, and choose to continue shining?

Me, I choose to keep shining.

The choice almost feels inevitable. Not that I don’t have choice, just that the stakes are high. If I resist my soul’s call now, the consequences of my resistance will be staggering, and I may not get another opportunity for the universe to work with me with this much alignment.

It may sound crazy or woo woo for me to say that, but intuitively, or spiritually, I know it. I know it in the same way someone might know the presence of God while praying, or an astrologer or psychic may glean knowings from the sky or tarot cards.

I know the magnitude of this year the same way the sky is strikingly beautiful despite the sunset is hidden by the clouds.

I just know. I know it in my soul.
