Partaking

The value of scrip resides in gold stored somewhere else.

The value of a body stems from the soul.

The value of soul derives from presence.

Soul cannot live without a connection there.

(Rumi)

Paradiso, Canto 34 by Gustave Doré

Wherever you want it or not, realise it or not, consciously or not,

you are taking part in everything that is happening.

You are playing your part, whatever you do and however you do it, and you know what?

You are doing great!

The only thing you had to do is show up,

and here we are all,

doing our best,

playing our parts.

You may feel conscious, even enlightened.

You may feel lost or even trapped.

You may be sleeping thight or lightly.

You may not be sleeping at all.

You may not have a clue what I am talking about.

You may be mad and even angry.

You may feel rightful or fearful.

You may feel joy and love.

However you are feeling,

it is absolutely fine.

We are all in this together,

we are all one,

each one is playing its part,

and we are all doing the best we can.

Some work silently.

Some are taking all the attention.

Some are unseen.

Some are here to divide.

Some are here to unite.

Some are noisier than others.

Some are listening.

Some are shouting.

Some are holding the space.

Some need the space.

Some have remembered.

Some do not remember

Thank you for showing up to the performance of our lifetimes.

No part is small, we are all required and we are all playing our roles masterfully.

Whatever you happen to be doing, you are doing great, just be present.

From now on:

What part do you want to take?

How do you want to participate?

What will be your partaking?
