The Universe is Saying “Yes”
I wrote a song yesterday entitled “Yes” that speaks to our self-doubt, depression and fears. When I was writing it I knew where the concept was going, but the magnitude of what was pouring out of me had not really hit me until this morning. The space the world is currently in is one of utter panic and distress. Yet, the potential lying within this entire experience is so VAST. For the first time we are seeing the tearing apart of a social system that has deprived us of our communal humanity. Stripped of us the one thing that makes us useful in life. Imagination. Now is the time to imagine again. To dream, believe. All the gifts and desires we discarded as foolish or impractical, God is simply saying “Go for it.” Time is no longer the excuse. And while we are all here on the same page, compassionate of what is happening, we should be building with one another. Leaning on one another. Loving.
The earth is healing itself. And everything that the earth is made up of, literally resides in us. It’s no wonder there is an undeniable energy of returning to center during this time. In spite of what is going on, we are forced to sit down and realize all that we thought was required to succeed is a lie. We’ve been playing a game that was rigged. We couldn’t free ourselves and now God and circumstances have put us in time out.
As I sat there on my yoga mat, listening on repeat to what’s become a worship song of sorts for me, my heart began to swell so full of gratefulness, the tears fell uncontrollably and I embraced myself (Insert ugly cry face). So symbolic. An acceptance of myself and releasing my “holding it all together”, which has blocked my ability to go within and express true emotion in my art. It’s been so long since I’ve written a piece that speaks so personally to my own soul. In the words of the great, flawless Beyoncé, “No I’m not preaching, I’m taking my own advice.” I had stepped away from the joy that music brings me when I am creating it freely. I had been being “practical” but my gifts will make a way for me. All of them. I am so appreciative for the peace and encouragement Spirit graced me with today and I pray each of you experience the same for yourself. Stop and listen. There are no more limits. Do what makes your heart smile. And IF things return to some semblance of “normal”, remember this moment and cherish what we’ve learned. There is ALWAYS time to imagine.
