“She
So Loved The Earth She Gave Us Her Essence”
When I open my heart to the experience of this time of year I can’t
help but feel the beauty and love of the transformative message in “The
Charge Of The Goddess” that Starhawk wrote. When I fully embody the
Spirit of this precious message I can’t help but celebrate the meaning
of this message that is shared by the many seemingly different spiritual
traditions around the Earth. The words may be different. The names may
be different but the message is the same! The story is the celebration
of the birth of Love into our lives, into this precious green Earth
we know as ourselves and each other! When we are born into physical
manifestation in this lifetime, into this physical body we have been
given, we all have the same charge. We all have the same opportunity
to live into being the essence of Love that we are! We transcend the
fear-based separation and smallness of dogma and doctrine when we open
our hearts and arms to celebrating and embodying the transcending Mystery
whose name is Love!
I
can think of no greater blessing that I’d like to live into being! This
kind of Love heals all wounds, and heals the heartbreaking myths of
separation we humans seem to cling to with such blind ferocity and “fear-full”
devotion. It’s a captivating human mystery to me why on Earth we would
cling to separation when Love is so very everpresent! Is that overwhelming
Love what scares us so much that we must run and hide? Why do we not
understand that when we lay human ego aside the mystery is solved; that
this kind of Love truly is our heritage to feel and to celebrate? We
seem to not know our heritage; to not know our purpose. To me, our charge
is to remember our ego, our small self, is not in charge. Our Larger
Self, whose name is Love of Self, who sees the oneness in the seeming
difference, is in charge. This Larger Self has all the words our small
self will ever need to heal the wounds we have caused. The words are
as simple as “I love you” and “I’m sorry I caused you such unnecessary
and thoughtless pain.” The myth of ego is dissolved, and the Presence
of Love lives, when those words are spoken.
As
we consider this precious time in our lives I hope we all feel the essence
and presence of Love that we are. I hope that whatever is happening
in our lives we truly feel the reality that there is far more love,
far more joy, far more peace than perhaps we can presently imagine.
As I consider this vast possibility I truly do give thanks for all that
I have and I set my sights on the present moment and I continue to give
my whole heart and soul to that which is in front of me to do. It doesn’t
mean I always know what that is but it does mean that as I calm my thoughts,
and calm my fears when they are there, that I will feel the undying
inspiration of the moment and I will feel the everpresent Love of my
being, and I will hear the still small voice of love and inspiration
telling me how precious I am, how much my message is needed, and how
transformative my presence is in this world. That message is for all
of us equally. It’s possibility is always present, waiting for us to
take the heart of the message and bring it into manifestation as only
we can do! That truly is the gift of this season each day of the year.
Our message of Love can’t be done without us! Blessed Be to all of us
as we live our message of Love, Joy, and Peace into Being!
