SENSITIVE INJURY - A PERSONAL CHRONICLE
I've previously written more on the INJURY PHASE of what I've dubbed the SENSITIVE CYCLE but have never chronicled my own experiences from within this stage.

RAVENS PROMPT A REVIEW
[AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE] On a recent morning, a pair of ravens in tight formation and synchronized movement flew 15 feet over my backyard as I enjoyed my morning coffee.

DEVOTION IS A PRACTICE
Whether in the realm of relationships.... faith... principle... path... project... or promise,

DEVELOP YOUR EMERGING GIFTS
[AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE] While many of us will operate within similar structures, containers or frameworks, I’m suggesting an essence level shift to doing YOUR work in our world vs. wearing and walking forward someone else’s style or techniques that will fit differently on you and may not allow YOUR full potential to shine through.

REMEMBER THERE IS A TIME FOR YOUR EMERGENCE.

[AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE] The energetic and emotional costs to build and maintain a FORTRESS OF CAN’T are exorbitant and without yield or return. So while essentially you pay either way, to FIND YOUR CAN is an investment offering results and rewards.
SACRED MUD PAUSE
Sinking in... accepting the gifts of Mother Earth and sacred mud. Fully trusting that when it’s time to move, I’ll have the wings I need.
A DEMOLITION PROCESS
Go there when you are called to, but go lightly. Go, but go at a pace you can withstand and by methods you trust. Go, but go mindfully with a goal of sacred wellness.
