Unlock the Gridlock in Your Life, Work and Community

Gridlock is a prevalent pattern in almost every context of life. Maybe it’s the heat, but I suspect it is merely that we are used to putting our focus on small snapshots of isolated parts of larger problems, and wonder why little gets solved. We stay stuck in a repeating pattern and run like rats on a wheel oblivious we are turning the wheel with our every thought.

We are conditioned to focus on events as if they were the whole truth. Media plays out the short-term events and we get fixated.
In our complex world, the important thing to pay attention to are the slow, gradual processes that are eating away the very stability we long for. The erosion of our educational system and environmental decay are examples of processes that happen over long periods of time.

The remedy is to set up ‘slow down’ periods where we can observe the subtle as well as the dramatic.
It is simply not prudent to continue to operate from isolated perspectives. The parts are connected to the whole just as our own cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems are part of our body. If we come from the thought pattern, “we are all part of the whole of humanity” then deep down inside we know that cutting off any part of the whole will hurt. I am choosing the hopeful thought that I can carefully, thoughtfully and with intent for no harm, make decisions about how to live my life with others in community and with the health of our planet as an underlying intent.

Calling in divine wisdom

Recently I was honored to preside over two very different celebrations. One was the wedding of a special young couple who chose the ancestral family home as their venue. The other event was a blessing for newborn ‘Lilly’. Divine wisdom was the common factor. Keep in touch to hear more about the convergence of divine energy.
