Begin again.
Fear is creeping in, that's interesting that's new. A gripping on the lower back side of my heart, squeezing. Breathe. Begin again. Breathe - the One Breath, we are all breathing it! It could kill us or It could heal us. CHOOSE. Pull in more oxygen than you exhale. Again. AGAIN. Again! Faster, deeper! Now, hold it!....................................(for how long?) Never mind that. Just relax. Be present to what is: Fear. ......but also.......relaxation, spaciousness. Ego drops away becomes the servant, no longer the master. Collective Honesty, for the first time in millennia: EVOLVE OR DIE. Floating down the stream toward the Source being carried, Letting Go. A slight kick here, A slight paddle there. Pay attention, don't let your head hit a rock! That is your only job: PAY ATTENTION. Soon, others join, carried in by their unique tributaries. Link arms. Smile at each other. Drift. We are picking up speed now, a collective surrender. The River knows where she is going- do YOU? Don't let questions like that trick you into Self Doubt. The way we ride the River is the same way we will embrace the Ocean. Shall it be in fear or in Trust? Fear is not working. Evolve or die. (By Chelsea Forbrook, April 5, 2020.
