Being fully human is being a connection between the heavens, the cosmos, the ether, and the earth, the tierra firme, the water, the land. Being an open vessel so that energy may course through you to connect, cleanse, clear, awaken, and inspire your heart mind and spirit.
The different places on earth and the different energies of the spinning heavens have unique subtle influences. So, this is to say that each place and moment you find yourself in is a different cocktail of life. Some moments may feel hard, some blissful, some giving, some draining. Pay attention.
And then we work to connect to each other, to plants and animals. One's power lies in one's openness, one's ability to support energy within, to be spacious and strong at the same time. Like a river bed that can support a rushing spring flow. Like the rocks below a pounding waterfall, we can support strong energy if we have a strong vessel, a strong physical body. Our body is on earth, alive, blending heaven and earth and all things in an energetic dance.
Don't ever get too proud or believe that you are alone in this universe. We are in constant interconnectedness. As much as we want to be open to that or as much as we want to be drunk and asleep to this truth will determine your level of joy, of ecstasy, of bliss. This flow of energy, this exchange is in constant flux like the rains, the tides, the waning and waxing moon.
This day is unique in your life. Never will you be this age, in this moment, in this energetic format, with the mixture of elements surrounding you and in the environmental setting that you find yourself in, a room, a yard, a garden, a car, a park, a friend's home, on vacation, at the beach, in the mountains, in the dessert. Take it in like a unique flavor of a new meal. Be sensitive and tune into the smell, taste, touch, sounds of your surroundings. They are always opening us to more teachings, of awareness, of mindfulness, of when to be soft and when to be firm. Don't be flaccid, limp, support a strong vessel. Breathe, fill your lungs, open your eyes wide, lengthen your spine. Try a little more openness.
Aho.
