Today I went somewhere, physically and spiritually.
I went for two reasons and I stayed for only one. What I’m experiencing in my life is beautiful, joyful, and at times…not overwhelming…but more…mind-boggling. And sometimes I have no one to share all this with. I can write about it, mention it in my talks, but that’s not the same as what I experienced this morning. There are not a lot of people in my life just to casually speak with about it all. But today I followed my murmuration and sat with people who share in all this…whatever “it” is for them. There are places where people can share with each other. I didn’t realize how much I crave this.
And by the way, I know I’m not really ever alone. I have the loving support of my husband and friends. There’s always the support that guides me and loves me unconditionally. But being with people who can more closely understand what I’m feeling is important too.
If you ever find yourself looking to share what your spiritual journey is bringing up for you, take heart.
There are online and in-person groups, Meetups, and many other organizations. It will require you to take the steps to look. You’ll need to allow for what comes your way. Not everything will resonate with you but something, some group or opportunity will get your attention.
Interesting to me, the other reason I went there for I’m no longer interested in pursuing. I had an ulterior motive that no longer seemed important. This was a gift today and it was a good day to show up.
I’ve had a rare bee in my bonnet still buzzing around even this morning as I started my day. It’s about wanting to spend more time exploring. There’s writing, noodling with a talk I’ll be giving, and researching leads. I need to look into legalities as I create my work. But, instead, I spent the past two days doing what I felt I should do… favors, errands, cooking. It’s becoming more and more important that whatever I’m doing I do with as much joy as I can.
Prioritizing our needs is so important. Take note and see if you’re allowing for time each day to play and to also work on your dreams and ideas if you so desire.
I exhaled when I entered that room today and it felt like that bee buzzed off to somewhere else. Feeling all that support and love, and it was a very nice thing indeed.
This part of my life I’m finally learning to speak my own words and uncovering my own beliefs.
I’m following my heart and allowing myself to be seen rather than hide.
But after following my murmurations today I see that I can have community without losing who I am, without compromising my own uniquely individual beliefs. I can have all that, feel a community of support, stay afterward, get and give hugs, and eat chocolate chip cookies. Will I go back again? If I feel I want to, I will.
Our murmurations are a good thing to follow. We follow them more than we realize.
