So I've been invited to stay here in Southern Alberta for a Sun Dance Ceremony in mid-August. At first I was reluctant, I told myself that I'd rather come back for Sun Dance in a few years, I felt it was something to come back for, something that somehow I should wait for. But I've come to realize that all these feelings were due to some age-old pattern of not feeling deserving and feeling that I have to walk a hard road. And, if the hard road doesn't appear before me I should always create it though self-denial or an unwillingness to receive beautiful experiential gifts. I wasn't conscious of this at first, but when I dismantle myself, I come to see that the only thing blocking wonderful gifts, is me.

I'm over all that now;-)

Everyday I see that I'm still here for a reason. Doors keep opening up around me, and me being here also opens doors for others. It's a beautiful thing to honour an intuitive path, a path we usually don't understand, a path filled with fear and uncertainty, yet somehow just feels right. It's all about following our feelings regardless of outside pressures of manufactured timelines, expectations of progress, or constructed ideologies of a 'right' way of being.

Or maybe I have no idea what's going on and it's all just medicine someone has made to keep me here. It's very possible.

peace,
