Becoming

Some of us are getting restless. When will this be over? When will we be able to gather together? When will this Coronavirus thing be under control? Some of us are worried. What if I get the virus? What if I can’t pay my bills? What if everyone forgets about me? Waiting and worrying. Ugh.

When we wait for it (any it) to be over, are we wasting this one precious life? When we do things to fill our time, ‘in the meantime’, are we squandering an opportunity, living for a future that may or may not come?

I have a word for you. What about becoming? Yes, becoming. Not becoming something or accomplishing something…just becoming. To become is to be in the process of change, to grow, to come into being. Aristotle put it this way: to change from a lower level of potentiality to a higher level of actuality. WOW!

This is our time to become. Our life is right here, right now. There is no meantime. It feels like this, it looks like this. This is it. Our time to become. Our time to live in the full awareness of each moment and allow it to infuse our very being…to influence our body, mind, heart and soul.

Release the need to get somewhere and to get something done. Take a moment each day to be totally present (as many moments as you can). Feel what it feels like to become. Let it rise from within. Let it carry you up. Let it soothe your soul.

In our becoming together,
Much love
