Releasing:

Recently, I have found that my old ways of doing things no longer "fit". For the past dozen or so years I have been quite adept at nurturing seeds to germinate and grow into strong healthy plants. I have become an avid perennial and organic vegetable gardener. This past year I commited to returning to planting seeds for my gardens but found much to my surprise that the old ways no longer fit. Not only was I not able to remember to water and tend to my plants by extending energy to them through my hands, but it is as if I have not been in connection with 3D reality much of the time. I have been focused on extending love energetically to the many young people that I serve as a school social worker along with extending love to the Earth Mother and all with whom I have contact. It seems as if much of what I do, I do from a position of "auto pilot". It is as if I am no longer in contact with my old experience of reality, for most of my waking experience. From time to time, I come back to it to realize that I have been disconnected and not taken care of some of the instrumental things that I did so well in the past. Not only am I not troubled by this, It feels to me to be where I need to be. In the past week or so I have come to realize that it is time to release many of the old things that I have kept with me but no longer serve a purpose in my life. I am beginning the process of releasing most of the things that I have stored in my garage since I last moved from a larger home to a much smaller home. These "things" no longer have any meaning or purpose in my life and feel like an anchor to a past that needs to be released. So it is with anticipation that I begin the process of letting go of the wonderful past that brought me to this point, in order that I may step lightly into the NOW!
