BREAKING INTO LOVE
Nothing goes wrong in your life when you allow your life to break open, to burn and melt and twist and turn into the present, to stay close to yourself in times of shock and outrage.
Nothing goes wrong. You only receive lessons, that's all. Lessons, seen as lessons or not, and invitations, accepted or not. And calls to humility.
And heartbreaks, dreams destroyed overnight. But nothing goes wrong. You feel pain, that is all. Pain, disappointment, frustration, shock, anger, despair, even rage. Powerful energies surge throughout your body. But nothing goes wrong. You receive slaps in the face, sudden losses, unexpected news. You are unprepared, unprotected, unaware, perhaps, but nothing goes wrong when you embrace yourself as you are.
You feel what you need to feel, experience what you have to experience on your journey. The mind tells you that what happened shouldn't have happened, that something in the universe is inherently broken, that you have failed in some way, that others are to blame for your lack of peace. Yet nothing goes wrong, and the mind is even allowed to spin its stories of past and future and right and wrong and blame and retribution, and the path is yours for the taking.
This year, can you finally drop the dualistic, alienating, violent language of 'right and wrong, good and evil, sacred and profane, positive and negative', and meet life on its own terms?
You live in the present, in this moment. This is your home. You know that home is beyond the dualistic split, the fragmented reality of right and wrong that could never provide your true home. You know that this moment is to be held, honoured, even loved. You are willing to let go of all your dreams of how this moment 'could' or 'should' have been, and validate the 'way it is'. You are rooted in the YES. That is your starting point. Your source.
Life cannot go wrong, for life is all there is, and even the appearance of 'wrong' is part of a greater story, as yet unwritten, unfolding beyond our direct control.
Yes, it is all an invitation to presence. An invitation to be here. To love more deeply, let go more willingly. To appreciate what you have, not focus on what you lost. To feel the preciousness in every breath, every moment of contact with a friend, every experience of joy or sorrow, every shock that leads to an even deeper healing.
It is all yours. And it is a song. And you may not like some of the notes. But a song cannot go wrong. It can only move in unexpected ways, teach you unexpected things, drive you towards unexpected insights and forgiveness, invoke a willingness to open your heart when everyone around you is closing theirs.
Allow yourself to break and you cannot be broken. Accept that you cannot accept - that is the portal.
