This business of having been issued a body is deeply confusing…Bodies are so messy and disappointing. Every time I see the bumper sticker that says: “We think we’re humans having a spiritual experience, but we’re really spirits having human experiences,” I (a) think it’s true and (b) want to ram the car.” - Ann Lamott
This writing prompt works for whenever it finds you + if you are reading it this week we have a full moon and an eclipse this weekend. There are more substantiated places to read into the exact energies, yet I know eclipses flush out. They are like an electric illumination and to the best of my ability I shy away from large activities and make some space for reflection. To that end I have included a little zap from the ever astute Ann Lamott for us below.
I’m offering up—as in releasing—the idea of holding back or reconfiguring myself to transmute difficulties to magnetizing: building my resonance, my body and my belief. You with me? Listen, Nature doesn’t shush the flowers so everyone fits, divine intelligence unfurls, accommodates and when allowed flourishes. That’s where I am putting my chips, but first I’m going to light a candle and let my Self write an unfettered response to the quote below.
You can start with….
Why do I….
I am ready to….
I forgive myself for…
I am ready to let life love me for …
Do you mind even a little that you are still addicted to people-pleasing, and are still putting everyone’s needs and laundry and career ahead of your creative, spiritual life? Giving all your life force away to “help” and impress. Well your help is not helpful, and falls short.” - Ann Lamott
