We go through life creating the container by which we can feel safe, secure, and succeed. This sometimes means that our world becomes small, and meanwhile our soul was created uniquely to contribute to this world. Our soul was designed to dance – giving its gifts to the world.
Today we will use imagery to settle ourselves into the earth – rooting ourselves deeply in creation and breathing fresh air and life. We will connect with our source, and see what may be holding us back from exploring our soul and letting it dance.
Our listening portion today is an excerpt from the poem Sweet Darkness from David Whyte:
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in,
Give up all the other worlds
Except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness
To learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive
Is too small for you.
