Around
3:00 am this morning, I was awakened with such a jolt that I
immediately sat bolt upright, fully alert and with senses heightened. Something
had shook me awake, of that I was sure. But with the moon waning, I
could not see anything but darkness. Nor could I feel anything around me but darkness, and in a peculiarly palpable way, almost as if it was a living presence named “Darkness.”Then I understood. In that moment, it was, and Darkness was calling me outside into the night. “Come out. Come into me. You know me. You have plummeted my depths within you over the past moon. NOW come and see your universe reflect what my purpose is, and confirm what you have found within me!”
And so I did.
I stepped out on the balcony of my bedroom, and into the pitch black silent night.
“What do you see?” asked Darkness.
“I see you,” I answered.
“What else do you see?”
“I see stars!”
“Yes. And without me, you would never have known they were there.”
This morning, I woke up with a feeling of excitement and anticipation that I have not felt since I was a child. Even in childhood, I’d only felt it several times…when I woke up on Christmas morning. Yet there was nothing about this day I was entering that was anything close to Christmas! Quite the contrary. Not only are my relationships, and even my state of being, in a state of flux, but I had a dental appointment to face that I couldn’t figure out why I was choosing to experience at all (since I’d put it off for about 20 years and been just fine– why surrender to it NOW?) But somehow, whether I went to the dentist or not didn’t even phase me today… suddenly, my life seemed to be about other more mysterious– and fascinating– things, entirely.
Like the sun calling me, for example, just as the night had a few hours before, only the sun was asking me to plant flowers today into fresh clean dirt. And boy, did my soul leap at that call! “Choose flowers you have never planted before,” the sun beamed at me. “Choose buds that reach out to you through their resonance with your inner joy. They will be NEW to you– and do not ask what form they will grow into! Simply plant them in joy, and tend to them in love. They will be your children of the stars. They will sing to you of the NEW treasures you have discovered in your courageous inner journey into darkness. And rejoice, for never will you fear darkness again. Never will you call it “the opposite” of light again. Never will you doubt that BOTH are of Source, simply sharing the gifts of your own divinity with you, in whatever ways YOU create in order to see it. And so it is.”
And so I found my flowers easily, tiny and barely born, because they also called to me. And I found wonderful dirt to plant them in.. and then I began the planting. I will finish in the darkness, under the stars, soon after I finish this message. I am very excited to see what these buds will grow into, as they are entirely NEW to me! (And, oh yes, I did manage to squeeze my long-dreaded dental appointment in, as well. But it was a mere “blip on the screen,” compared to my excitment about my stars and flowers– and if you don’t see that as a miracle…Ha! Well, that’s only because you don’t know me, personally, that’s all!)
By the way, as I began my planting of dreams-born-of-stars-found-in-darkness-and-represented-by-flowers , I discovered that the dove who had made a nest on my front patio last May was back again this year! There she was, not more than 3 feet away from me as I planted, nurturing the embryos of the NEW life she had created within her as well… We enjoyed one another’s company very much.
Perhaps you may read all of this as a metaphor. If so, you would not be “wrong.” But I will tell you that it is not a metaphor as far as I am concerned. It is the way the universe communicates, and more alive with truth than any “statement of facts about the planetary alignments” that has made April 2014 our crossroads month ever could be.
We have, all of us, been through quite a lot this month (to the extent that we have been willing to, of course). We have delved into the dreaded darkness within us, and low and behold! We found that the dark is not an enemy but a faithful servant. Sometimes, we have so lost our way in false illusions of self-doubt and helplessness that we create darkness– so that we can see our treasures shining, and remember who we are.
So I say, go out and look at the stars tonight, and recognize them as your very dreams shining back to you! Then, plant them as flowers tomorrow– and be sure to choose buds you are drawn to by their frequency, without knowing the form they will grow into!
Love them into thriving, strong and healthy.
In this way, you will consciously make the ephemeral “real” to you, and so integrate it into your own energy grid in a most masterly way.
And WHY are these powerfully potent actions to take NOW?
Because as the moon interrupts our relationship to the sun in the solar eclipse that began around 8:35 pm pst tonight (4/28), will peak from shortly after 11:00 pm pst until about 1:15 am pst– our entire system will be rebooted. And all of tomorrow (4/29), and even for the entire week, this “reboot” energy will pack a wallop.
S0 plant the frequencies of your dreams, your NEW courage, your NEW awarenesses, NOW. Know how those frequencies feel! Leave the form they will manifest into up to the universe. Otherwise, you may be so busy looking for a particular form that you don’t recognize the feeling of your dreams, even if they are right in front of you!
Then, over the next three months, watch your NEW flowers surprise you as they grow into form– just as your dreams will, if you let them surprise you, as well. God bless, Godspeed, God is IN you! ♥ ♥ ♥
