Hello all and tuning in to you all gathering in Seattle! There is a sense of upliftment and a sort of "parting of the clouds". I am sure it will be a meaningful week for you all!!

When you speak of being in a state of flow, what comes up for me, is the sense of creating - giving 100% to what it is that's being created but without any need around it...no pressure, yet there is drive and will...relaxed, yet engaged.

As an example, for many years there has been a focus to garden the area behind my house...there are many old oak trees and not much access to light there...you could say it's more enclosed, hidden, contained - it is darker and cooler...all of which brings me into a sense of the feminine and with more internal processes - where things are not visible. Interestingly, a couple years ago, energy shifted into a complete overhaul of the house itself and that brings us to now...an impulse that arose to grow in the front areas of the house...where there is full sun, more exposure to elements and people, it's open and very warm. Looking back, I see how it mirrors a transition from the hidden to the embodied to the expression in full view. At first it was being with the blank slate...no idea where to begin...then a gift landed...a boundary I could use to shape and bring things in in a way that felt manageable...as that has shaped and filled, there is now a growing impulse to be flexible with the boundaries...perhaps removing some...perhaps pushing some out a little further and keeping some as they are.

Throughout this "education"...there has been a sense of lightness, no stressed sense of effort, yet tremendous commitment...there has been no need to force myself to finish the project or to apply any external sense of discipline because the joy and satisfaction of being in the act of it in the moment is so rewarding and fulfilling.

A beautiful reflection popped up on facebook yesterday...that Florida had lifted a ban on edibles in the front garden. How awesome to feel the feedback loop there...to feel the sense that the outward expression is fully supported....obviously the garden being a metaphor for expression in general.

Big hugs to you all!
