cedar_groveFrom The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have.
Tending our stories means that our lies must open if we are to live in the mystery; our ways of hiding, no matter how subtle, must relax open if we are to be.
I am woman, I am priestess, I am child, I am mother and crone blended to one. My life demands connections with my heart and soul that have been damaged, wounded but not broken, and I must heal. I am lover and loved, and life demands that I must listen to the voice of that love inside of me and that voice from without also. I am teacher, and student and must move with the constant flow and change of education; changes that sometimes I do not like, but must go with in order to reach where I want to be, learn what I need to learn and move on - attain my goal. I am writer and the written word - muse demands of me that I write, but in the universal story being written I must roll with the finality of the period, rest in the cradle of the comma and wriggle through the spaces in exclamation and question marks to meet and suprass the challenges placed in my path... but one thing above all...
The story of my life demands that I cannot and must never give up... and in that fact I am one with the universe.
How are you tending
to the emerging story of your life?
-Carol Hegedus and Frances Vaughan
