The path will be illuminated,
we must only carry the lantern.
Eventually, all the love, suffering, and humility we go through wear away our walls of resistance until Spirit shines from within us like an inner sun. This is how Spirit is revealed on Earth—as the coverings we carry are worn away by life, the light we carry can pour into the world.
~ Mark Nepo, “The Book of Soul”
Dear Wise Women,
Last week I wrote the following words in an email to you:
”As I witness my Dad nearing the end of his life, I am awe struck by the miracles that are occurring in his life and that of my family. I am deeply honoured to be participating in this beautiful unfoldment of grace. More than ever I am absolutely confident that we are light beings embodied in human form, and more than ever, I am committed to the path of “walking one another home.”
And this reminded me of words I previously wrote to you in one of our Treasure Troves:
“When we allow ourselves to fully open up to the power of wonder and presence we feel the magic that is activated. The inner energy body comes alive and merges with the energy of the universe! This is our purpose and our path as human beings. We are here to remember our oneness and to merge our bodies with the energy of the universe - and to embody this energy to create on earth, in the physical realm!”
Oh Wise Women, to be gathering with you during this time of transition for my family brings me immense comfort, peace and joy. More than ever before, I find myself deeply in love with the mystery and I fully believe in the power of spirit to weave miracles through our circles.
Let us embark on this journey into the unknown, holding our lanterns in front of us!
With deep gratitude, I bow to you,
Patti
The landscape of my childhood home on the morning of October 1, 2022. In this moment I experienced a profound sense of illumination, clearing and deep forgiveness. As the sun pierced through the fog, the Truth was revealed and Love poured in.
