The trees are dry but fragrant, wild fennel and rattlesnakes along a well-beaten path.
I stop at different look-outs, breathing, breathing in the sun and sea and dry winter deepness.
At the top, the wizened and solitary tree draws me in. Standing and touching it, I turn to the north and let my heart and mind speak in unison.
Fellow amazing being, I want to share with you my 5 most intimate hopes and dreams for 2012, seeded on the winter solstice.
My visions, in the order in which they arose:
1. I see a thriving 7 months leading to my wedding with Zoe. I see friendship, challenges met, deep meaning and light playfulness. I see a wedding lovely and powerful. I see the energy of our wedding ebbing out into our near and far future, shared through intimacy and independence.
2. I see my business offerings flourishing. I see my community of clients flourishing. I see success and renown flourishing as a natural result. I see thriving classes, workshops, events and trainings. I see the people that need and are ready for this work finding me, and me finding them. I see great and lasting results through these offerings, and the ripple effects of awake and vibrant people in the world. I see my programs and products evolving and refining, never being complete.
3. I see my inner personal practice expanding and evolving like the organic arc of a swirling galaxy. I see myself aware of and stepping into my growth edges, learning to hold more energy and consciousness in my shadows and shut-downs. I see myself training at the deeper level, taking on inner challenges with a sense of adventure and focus. I see myself stepping more fully into the soul-being I know I am.
4. I see my lifestyle honoring and owning a more healthy diet and detox routine. Nourishment and cleansing, nourishment and cleansing. I see myself facing physical toxins and trash, initiating cleanses to move through and out this garbage. I see my diet reflecting my inner knowing of light, levity and liveliness.
5. I see my circles of family, friends and colleagues growing in strength and sweetness. I see tribe and community forming and evolving on every level. I see my larger family thriving by means of their own inner and outer development. I see each of us supporting the others as we are able. I see each of us as nodes on a vast array of love, light and power.
I ask that my personal dream be merged with the great dream; the my 'I Can' be harmonized with the cosmic 'I Can'. May I allow the energy necessary to germinate these seeds flow through me and through my concrete actions.
Fellow amazing being, thank you for hearing this.
And now please share with me, what are your most intimate hopes and dreams for 2012?
