More gifts from our angel “down under”…
“I am still 28, Declaration of Joy.”
Too often is heart’s desire at odds with the brain’s understanding. The brain is easily beguiled by surface-level forms, quick to attribute ‘truth’ to whatever it is told, quicker still to change it’s ‘mind’ as new information comes to light. The heart, meanwhile, knows nothing of this. Cardiac perception drifts along undercurrents, informing us (if we choose to listen) of the most joyful route of all the possible paths through our lives.
I choose to swim below the surface, and move the way joy makes me move, because I trust joy, and the unknown source it arises from.
I choose to swim below the surface, and move the way joy makes me move because I trust joy, and it’s origins – I trust that even at times when what feels joyful is seemingly at odds with what ‘makes sense,’ there is wisdom in what feels joyful. I trust that by swimming below the surface and seeking the undercurrent of joy in everyday life, I am not being ‘silly,’ or ‘foolish.’ I trust I am not being lazy, not being a slacker, not being naive or unrealistic. I trust that by swimming below the surface and seeking the undercurrent of joy in everyday life I am, in fact, changing the nature of everyday life.
I choose to swim below the surface, and move the way joy makes me move because I trust joy, it’s source, and it’s wisdom… I trust the power of joy to transform our world. I trust the process of creation, knowing that all creation begins within, invisible and unseen. I trust that by honoring and aligning my actions with what is joyful, what I am creating is an individual life full of joy… and thus increasing the overall level of joy within our collective global society.
I choose to swim below the surface, and move the way joy makes me move because I trust joy: it’s source, it’s wisdom, and it’s transformational potency. I trust that even when the whispers of joy seem to beckon me onward into a scary place, a place of darkness and pain, that even then joy knows what it is doing. I trust that even when the way joy makes me move does not feel ‘good,’ this is not because I am not following joy – rather this is because joy, growth, and pain are inextricably interrelated, and indeed often one and the same, inseparable.
Everywhere you look, old structures are collapsing and breaking down. They are meant to. Now is a special time, a time you will never see or experience again, at least not in this life. Those things based on ego cannot no longer sustain themselves and must come to an end so that the new, more authentic can be reborn.
