How can I help us develop fully into who we were created to be(come) – to those for whom we are meant? That is the burning question that undergirds all I do. I have not reached every destination of my own paths yet, but I have come a really long way, and as I continue to move forward, I reach back to bring others along who travel similar paths – the ones for whom I am meant.
Why? Because the paths I travel are complex, and I would have loved a navigator – even though there is a part of my own learning that requires me to clear my own paths. There is a particular thing (or sets of things) that will not happen for the betterment of our world if certain people do not do them. So, I am after a fulfillment of these things for myself and others to the point of saturation.
And as I chase this fullness, it leads me on a journey that challenges and pulls from me more than I've ever thought I had to give. Despite my moments of fatigue or uncertainty, I have never stopped because there is a restlessness inside of me that will not allow me to stop. My quest never ends. This tugging at my soul that there's more, something else, another way is ever before me.
I happen to be a writer and an independent producer. Yet this longing that lives in my breath would find its way to fruition if I were not this kind of creative. My BEing in this lifetime needs to curate spaces for people to BE saturated in their BEing. There is not a way that I cannot do this work.
Every script or book I write, every event I produce, every collective I gather is crafted, curated to get us all closer to fullness. It's about changing conversations to compel complete freedom.
Air is our grounding as "old ceilings become new floors." This is good work. It's meant to be, and we can push through all barriers to make it so, to make it to fullness and light - even through the resistance within us. Sure, parts of the journey can be so unfamiliar and unpleasant that they are quite frightening, even as we long for it with everything we have. We may ask over and over if we can trust it.
Wrong question. Will we trust ourselves?
