It is safe to say that this particular journey has been years in the making. More than a decade of beautiful, painful, and often overwhelming life peppered with tears and laughter and existential questions, have led me straight to this point.
No matter what has happened, no matter how my course has corrected itself or my obstacles have shifted and grown one thing has remained…day after day I look to the deeper space of what is the reason?
Two questions always remain at the center:
Who am I?
What is my purpose?
I have spent plenty of time asking this question of myself, finding that the answers are continuously clawing their way out of the muck, or reverberating through me long after the words are gone. One can only do so much and now it seems it is time to gather up a larger tribe and share and seek and walk this walk with a greater community.
“…the greatest miracle, and ultimately the only one: that you awaken from the dream of separation and become a different kind of person. People are constantly concerning themselves with what they do: have I achieved enough, written the greatest screenplay, formed the most powerful company? But the world will not be saved by another great novel, great movie, or great business venture. It will only be saved by the appearance of great people” Marianne Williamson
I do not yet know what miracles will come of this shared adventure, but in my own search to find community, wholeness, and authenticity I have certainly seen my own small miracles.
May we lose the illusion of separation. May we come together in mutual greatness. May we be bold enough to ask the questions and courageous enough to listen for the answers. And above all, may we do all of it with love.
