“You think answering a call is peaceful?
You think taking something from the unmanifest
to the manifest is supposed to flow easily?
You think it is supposed to be filled
with ease and grace.
No.
It has never been so.
At least not as a constant.
All the moments of ease and grace you have
experienced in your life are what make
getting ready for this moment even possible.
Callings, like birth, are messy,
bloody, hard, screaming out in pain hard.
Why has that come to mean something
bad in this modern ‘thought’?
Yanking something from the stardust
and shaping a golden cup of hope
from it in FORM is the work of warriors
not the work of those not ready for the
long haul of manifestation. But if you
do not make the cup there will be
no where to place your ideas
and no where for the abundance
to collect in THIS realm.
Sometimes… it pops through… there it is.
But if you look it is after years of preparing
for that meeting, that idea, that connection.
Your entire life is preparation for you
to say yes to your TRUE CALLING.
Callings need to be tended, nurtured, answered
and sought after. Yell after it. Scream into the
dark after it. Don’t let it go. Find the tail
and pull as hard as you can until the animal
called YOUR WORK comes through that
cosmic portal onto your drawing room floor
squirming with life and begging
to be expressed on the pages of the book of
your great life.
Don’t expect so much.
Don’t expect so little.
Don’t wait so long.
Don’t stop reaching no matter what.
Don’t listen to anything here that does not ring true for you.
Do listen to your heart.
Do listen to your inner tugs
Do find where the pain still lives
Do find where the light wants to shine
Do call out to your calling
as if you life depended on it.
It does.”
