Trusting the Unknown and following our Desires.....


August 3rd


"To honor our deepest desires and passions within is to honor the divine."


Mary Magdalene


I’ve missed my meditation with Mary. I’ve stopped pursuing that which is most joyful within, perhaps it is all the traveling I've done, perhaps it is the season and rhythm of time, but I miss my peace, my joy, my passion in life. My confidence is low and shame and fear seem high. I have writing to do and service to share with others. I give myself to you dear Mary, dear divine being that Guides and Blesses me. How can I best be of service to those souls awaiting my guidance, my words, my vesseling of the divine?


Letting go is often like jumping off an icy slope not knowing when or what the bottom will be like. It is like jumping into deep, dark water having never swam there before and being uncertain of what lies beneath the glassy surface.


Surrendering to these places deep within will call us to honor our desires, our wants and move in the direction of our dreams. We are called this way even though we may not be familiar with the landscape before us. Each step may bring us to unfamiliar terrain, then the next step and the next step. For awhile, we may be in these unknown places and sometimes we do not know how long this roaming in the desert will last.


What feeds our soul? What nourishes our spirit? What energizes our body? These are the things which will lead us to our most profound expression of service, of the Divine.


To honor those yearnings within us is to honor the Divine.”
