Today,
February 3, marks a powerful day of new beginnings. This is the Solar
New Year of the Chinese calendar as well as the first day of spring in
many traditional cultures.
The
image for today’s message was taken in Seattle two weeks ago. As I
write to you now I am bringing forward the feelings of optimism.
empowerment, and love that we experienced that day both personally and
as a collective.
The
year of the Fire Rooster holds much promise. We have the opportunity
to join together and set new foundations to create the world we
envision.
The
Rooster calls in the dawn of a new day. In the midst of challenges and
apparent chaos, the good news is that the larger momentum of change is
supporting unity, freedom, and well being for all.
The Rooster Year Supports
- Conviction and Courage to Stand One’s Ground
- Joining Forces for the Collective Good
- Implementing Clear Strategies for Positive Change
- Speaking Truth to Power
- Effective Leadership Motivated by Freedom and Well-being for All
Those
of us who participated in marches two weeks ago directly experienced
the infusion of the new year’s power. Indeed, there is abundant evidence
of these qualities already mobilizing in a powerful wave of unified
commitment toward positive change.
Necessary Considerations Moving Forward
Collaboration is essential.
This
is a year for the collective. It is crucial now to avoid the impulse
to split apart, to polarize and to succumb to blame, judgment and fear.
The forces of chaos attempt to distract, separate and fragment.
Together we are invincible.
Self care is required.
Personal
health and well being must be a priority this year. In addition we will
be called upon to nurture our connections and relationships of support.
Collaboration this year will be anchored in the personal. Much of the
creative planning of the year will happen in our homes, around the
dining room table, or in personal gathering places, over a cup of coffee
or a pint of beer.
Choose your point of focus.
Large-scale
acts of chaos that promote shock and violence are attempts to fragment
unity. We are witnessing the final desperate gasps of old power
structures that are dissolving before us. There’s no denying that it’s
uncomfortable, but when we remember to connect to the big picture it can
also be inspiring. The force of Truth is unmistakable. There is a
large-scale momentum of positive change that is evident everywhere,
especially when we take our attention from what isn’t working and look
for the positive. We must hold fast. We must connect with inner truth
and act from a place of calm empowerment.
Transcend fear, blame and judgment.
Love
holds absolute authority and stands in commitment to the good of all.
The authority of Love is what we must align to within. It includes right
use of power. This is the place from which we must stand to speak the
truth that will change worlds.
Take practical action.
Follow-through
and strategic efficiency are two characteristics of the year. These
will enable us to mobilize our efforts toward positive change. Our
actions can support each other, as well as leaders of integrity and all
those who stand for us on the front lines.
This
IS the dawning of a new age, and the Rooster Year will give us courage
and clear vision as together we move through the changes and build a new
foundation on which to move forward.
