Chaos

chaos happens...

To come into harmony with the greater truths of ourselves, old perceptions and fears have to be shed for new insights to come...which often involves some kind of chaos internally and externally.

Many times when we see chaos...we run, hide, freeze, numb out...Can we begin to view chaos from a new lens...an understanding that chaos is just part of a greater and wiser order that we do not understand.

Can we sit with the chaos, continue to show up, ask questions...
and as Rainer Maria Rilke said...

“Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.”

    So beautifully put Jess. I was thinking about Chaos today and my eyes landed on the YTT board that maps the transformational experience. Starting in Normal we are triggered, have an experience that leads to some sort of Chaos and then... we enter the Void. The Great Unknown. It calmed me to remember that this is part of the cycle. The Chaos is necessary and even, desired, in order to lead us to the new normal.

    Sitting in the Void is my work now. The work is made so much easier wit the supportive friendship of you and others. Thank you my dear. :)
