We exist in the AND space, rather than the ‘either/or’ space. Life/death, action/stillness, growth/potential, love/anger all seem like things that are opposite... and yet we exist at their meeting point. Life is cyclical, nature shows us how to plant seeds, patiently nurture growth (which alternates between inner and outer), let phases pass to make room for the next, harvest the fruits, integrate and adapt for next time, and use the promises of new seeds to repeat anew.

These messages ask us to look to the fertile soil of our inner world and recognize how our outer experience is the fruition of that. To get quiet and allow ourselves to be nurtured and inspired before our acts of creation. To recognize that we cannot bulldoze our way to what we want but rather have to balance action with trust, vulnerability, and open hands/open heart. It is both personal (in how we choose to show up) and utterly impersonal (we are here to evolve Love itself and to grapple with our little pieces of the collective wounds and lessons).

There is deep healing at work. There are cycles in motion that go beyond any one person’s history. There are endings and beginnings afoot, within the mystery of gestation and pure creative potential. Where in your life do you need to take your hands off the wheel and allow for more co-creation? Where in your life might you benefit from a little more silence or patience? Where in your life does something want to leave to make room for something new? What about in your relationship to the wider world? What might be possible with heart-listening? Heart-action? Heart-tending? Where does your path intersect with the collective? What is yours to nurture and then offer? And what fears are getting in the way of you doing that?
