Life Stirs Us

As if stirring the contents of my life counter clockwise could turn back time, my mind’s eye watches my hand stir and stir and stir, unwinding this past couple of years until I stand in a flurry of moments I sometimes wish I could have back.

But I know they only live in my memory. Sometimes memories become hauntings lodged in the heart. It’s really time to put away the wishes and should haves. It’s time to begin stirring time back to this moment and to let Life continue to stir me.

And I am being stirred. In this moment there are friends and family that are experiencing illness; some may be close to passing through the veil as so many have over the past two years. I feel as though the veil is thinner than ever, which means, we’ve begun to let it go and realize there is no veil. All who ever were and will be are with us now. We are not alone and never were.

The night sky is filled with so many stars, more than we can see or even fathom. Even all the space between them may be filled with being waiting to become the light by which we see. It’s an infinitely spacious and at the same time crowded Universe. The paradox is that we are both here and not here.

We blink and all changes. In the moment our eyes close, possibility reigns. I imagine those gone before us opening their eyes, awakening to the possibilities they dreamt of. They walk into Life, tearing the veil as they go in order to remind us of what is possible. They become the light by which we see.
