They say how you do one thing is how you do everything. Under this full moon, I'm not only thinking about the way I do the things I do but the why behind it all. For the last 16 years, I've been on call. My context for being called upon is grounded in necessity. Reflecting on my motherhood journey feels like a blur of blended days of managing crises, holding space for meltdowns, balancing allergies and arguments, all while fighting for our functionality. What I mean to say is fighting against potential dysfunctionality. Embodying someone's definition of home is a great work, but laboring in that vineyard unintentionally would also be a great failure, so, I'm here. Always. Omnipresence has become a spiritual practice that teaches me compassion, patience, and the rewards of devotion, over and over again.
I am a mother forever, but who else can I be, and how can I embody those things without the urgency and weight of responsibility that I'm used to?
These are some questions that I'm sitting with as the winter begins to leave us. In this full moon message, I ask Spirit to show us a softer way of evolving into our next chapters as the seasons change.
