Elder Muse/Day 12: Changing the Story

From Scarcity & Despair to….

REGENERATION & ABUNDANCE

“The very same interaction, the very same experience, can be either mundane or spiritual. The only difference between the two is how I live it.”
– Christiana Figueres

As a child I always felt I was the ocean, sand, shells, sun, seagulls and wind that held and comforted me as I played in the elements. In fact when I had a cold my parents would bundle me up and take me out to the beach right outside of our home in Mission Beach, San Diego. They would lift me over the beach wall and set me down in the sand for a couple of hours. Inevitably by the next day I no longer was sick.

I learned early on to be grateful for this natural world that I was not only a part of, but made of.

These days it is easy to move into despair. A grief so profound that the natural world we grew up in appears to be headed for extinction. This binds us all.

Yet, what would it be like to change the story, the conversation, we are all creating and having. That we agree we choose our future through our powerful mindsets and imaginations, co-creating together.

Holding climate change and the ecological crisis we are currently facing as an evolutionary catalyst by changing the narrative through our effective actions and daily mindful presence. Shifting the beauty we perceive from mundane to a sensually alive experience, and the scarcity and despair to regenerative abundance.

Perhaps this is a spiritual evolution the natural world is calling us to asking humans to pay attention to the way we meet what is unfolding – in all domains – and how we meet it. Changing the story….

“If you have wondered how to keep hope alive amidst a thousand reasons to despair, if you are ready to take your despair as fuel — intrigued by the idea of stepping into love and immediate realities of abundance and regeneration — this conversation is for you.”

May these words, stories and images assist you to remember who you are….and how you can be of service.

I have no idea what will arise…..but then do we really know ahead of time what our moment to moment daily experience will be? We are only asked to pay attention and attend with open artistry. ~Gaye Abbott
