The New Moon brings new beginnings! I was once told by a Light Being that if we could walk into the room of today empty handed – without dragging along all the furniture and baggage from yesterday and the past – that we would be astounded by the miracles that would occur. So the New Moon is an opportunity to open your hands and let go of whatever you are carrying that does not serve your highest good. Move into this next cycle open to miracles!
Walk into today
With your hands and heart open
Miracles abound!
What is really important?
It always amazes me how my mind can convince me that the smallest things are important. It acts like I might cease to exist if something I don’t want happens or if something I do want doesn’t happen. So far I have not seen any evidence for that belief. Why then do I get so wrapped up in such unimportant wants? I guess that it is simply the nature of the mind to do that. Likewise it is the nature of the higher self to pull us out of the muck and reorient us back to what is really important.
So what exactly is important? I am not sure what the answer for you might be but the answer for me is love. It seems like I have known that since I was a child but that doesn’t mean that I am not kidnapped by my mind occasionally and dragged through the mud. When I get back to that moment of clarity, I simply know that love is what is important. When my life is done, I know I will not be asked what I got or didn’t get that I did or didn’t want. The only question will be about the quality of love that I was able to bring to each moment.
Now there are times that I tell myself that it is not an easy thing to do – bringing love into each moment. But on the other hand, what could be easier? Nothing to remember but to love, nothing to do but to love, nothing to say other than what is loving, nothing to feel other than love, nothing to be other than love. Without all the furniture in my room from previous days, I guess it would be easy. So that is why we need to have regular garage sales and cleanings on the inner level! There might be others who want our old furniture but it might be best to recycle it so something new and more loving can be made from it.
Learning to love in each moment is a process of releasing what has not yet been freed into love. As the New Moon becomes Full and returns to New again, let go and let your love grow!
Clean out the closets
And free yourself into love
Release and release!
In that new found space
What is most important comes
Love finds you again
Exerpt from Empowering the Feminine Heart
Where are we going?
A vision that I have of this next level of empowerment for women is the development of strong communities where the vision of women and the qualities that they bring to the table become the foundation for all parts of the community function. Whether it is education of our children, health care, how we produce our food, what we do with our garbage, how we interface with our habitat, how we treat each other, how we make decisions, or our monetary system, the feminine values of connection, caring, collaboration, cooperation, consideration, and compassion must be integral to our process. While the masculine abilities to construct, build, and act are equally valuable, without the feminine process, the end result is not likely to be sustainable.
How will we get from here to there? I guess that is the really exciting part! It is up to you and me to embody these feminine values and have the courage to express them, instill them in our children, stand up for them in every situation, and live them in our daily lives. Of course this is just my vision and perhaps there are others even more viable and desirable. With all of us dreaming we can create a world full of love with each step we take.
