You\u2019re Invited<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that moment between starting the wash and emptying the dishwasher or the space between packing lunches and paying the bills or the time between this email and the next task on your to-do list waits an invitation. If I\u2019m honest, it\u2019s one I\u2019ve ignored for far too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The invitation mirrors my heart\u2019s deepest longing, yet to respond means stepping into the space of heart\u2019s emotions and soul\u2019s sensitivities. I want to go there; I don\u2019t want to do there. I have found comfort in this poem by Jane Hirshfield over and over again these past ten months. Somehow, her words fill me with just enough curiosity and courage to step softly into those emotional and sensitive places. When Light calls I long to meet it completely, and sometimes I don\u2019t. May we find courage to step into those beautifully challenging and deeply healing places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting the Light Completely by Jane Hirshfield<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the long-beloved<\/p>

was once<\/p>

an unrecognized stranger.<\/p>

Just so,<\/p>

the chipped lip<\/p>

of a blue-glazed cup,<\/p>

blown field of a yellow curtain,<\/p>

might also,<\/p>

flooding and falling,<\/p>

ruin your heart.<\/p>

A table painted with roses.<\/p>

An empty clothesline.<\/p>

Each time,<\/p>

the found world surprises \u2013<\/p>

that is its nature.<\/p>

And then<\/p>

what is said by all lovers:<\/p>

\u201cWhat fools we were, not to have seen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
