Lately I have been incredulous about how life is moving, especially as I notice relationships, and specifically as I notice what seems to be relationships in repair. My relationships with friends & family, with God and spirit, with myself... Perhaps they were never broken or in disrepair, but rather, were just out of sight?
Perhaps the "mending" I've been experiencing, is the mending of my own interaction to relationship or with my idea of the relationship? It's like looking at a mountain or tree and thinking it's the same mountain or tree that it was yesterday...which is completely not true.
I feel God at work or that I'm back in step with God. Remember being a kid and playing games to stay in-step while walking with a friend? Left, right, left, right...or if you're holding hands then it's right-left-right for one, and left-right-left for the other, so that you can swing your inside, joined hands in time with your legs.
It feels like that with God and me right now. There's a rush and it feels like I'm feeling the rush for the first time in a long time!
"You mean to say that I am plugged into the same socket as that electric blue
sky, so vibrant that I want to lose myself in its azure height?
You mean that the same juice that runs the universe flows through me like a love song or a bolt of lightning? You mean life isn't about being good or perfect or virtuous, but daring to freely follow energy?"

Perhaps I unplugged, or just gunked up my socket (maybe you've felt that way before)!
(By the way, I read the above lines by Danna Faulds in an e-newsletter from one of my fave yoga instructors in Minneapoilis, Ronna Rochell. She's a Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor at Bodywisdom Yoga (http://www.bodywisdomyoga.net/) and Co-Founder/The Om Collective (http://www.theomcollective.com/) Please check her out, get in one of her classes/intensives, she's amazing, and she'll help you plug in, for sure!!!)This Christmas, spending time in Joshua Tree National Park with my sweetie & my family, it was, as Danna Faulds said, the universe flowed through me like a love song.
We hiked and clambered, and stood and gazed and marveled at the Colorado & Mojave deserts, the plant life abound in such a seemingly "dreary" place - what a rush!
This indescribable "rush", joy and delight seems to come with feeling "in step", and it's been coming at any time, sometimes sneaking up on me, sometimes building to a noticeable crescendo - pretty awe-some.
May the New Year continue to bring the awe, the azure skies and the "in step" rush.
