Calling in the good life
What is a good life? To me, at this moment in time it is a life of deep care, calm, groundedness and silent joy. It is a life of landing, being, buildung and being in real contact with life, with humanity and with my selve.
There is a sweetness and simplicity in a good life. No seeking, no discontent, no fighting. It is in union with my needs, my dreams, my surroundings, but without this agitation, without this pressure to be someone or somewhere. A good life is not independent of society, of where we are as a humanity, it is in tune with the subtle streams of consciousness that want to break through right now. It is a listening life.
Yet it is not in panic about things, it is not open to the agitation, the time pressure, the chatastrophe awaiting. It simply doesnt ressonate with these frequencies.
BUT can we afford this??? Can we really still dare and just take a good life for ourselves, enjoy, listen, land and act from a calm place. Dont we need to be fast? Act now, be ready now, change now?
Well ja maybe. But we wouldnt be in for the long shot. It wouldnt be sustainable. If you are opening up to catastrophe without being grounded in the good life, catastrophe is what you are getting. Drama, overwhelm, to muchness, fear.
I personally am an advocate of the calm and the subtle, of the silent and hidden nuances, of the details. There is a difference between helping from panic or contributing from a grounded fullness, from a wholesome rootedness with earth, life, society, peers, yourself.
Calling in the good life is subtle and very personal, yet so connected with the whole.
