Where We Fear to Go
… A place has been prepared for you in the season now upon you. You are the honored guest. Even if you don’t realize it, you have been prepared for this time and circumstance. If you were not prepared, the season would not have arrived. Soul seasons do not follow your calendar. They follow your soul.
~ Jaiya John

It is part of the mystery of life on earth that the human soul can awaken, grow greater, and reveal inner gifts when everything turns dark and seems about to fall apart. Soul does not fear a downturn or seek to avoid a period of darkness. Soul carries a deeper wisdom and darker knowledge born of descent and loss and renewal. Soul would have us go where we fear to go in order to learn who we are intended to be.
— Michael Meade

The heart is like a garden.
It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love.
What seeds will you plant there?

Every creature is a glittering, glistening mirror of divinity.
~ Hildegard of Bingen

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, ‘Grow, grow.’
