"When there is no more separation between 'this' and 'that,' it is called the still-point of the Tao. At the still point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things."

As we approach the celebration gathering for our circle this coming Sunday, I think about this current group of women who have chosen to participate for the past several months. I was particularly touched by the sharing about our dreams during out most recent meeting, which unveiled a new level of knowing and support between us. I noticed a shift. I noticed a release of something between each of us that moved us closer and at the same time allowed us to let go of attachment to outcome. It was very subtle.
When we share our dreams, we show people what motivates us. In a conversation with Sue Bryan last night (Sue is not in our Center Circle at the moment), she said to me, when we are born, we come in with three motives: to pursue our calling (or purpose), to learn and grow, and to connect. I feel the truth of that in my own experience and I believe that our dream is the way we see that happening for ourselves in our own unique expression.
This Sunday, the ritual we have chosen for our celebration ceremony is a mask ritual. The point is to use this as a process to really look at what we are letting go of that we have taken on in this life so far that is not serving us and to glue it to that mask. Then, we also create a mask to represent what we are moving into and toward. In the ceremony this Sunday we will dance to the music of our choice and take the old mask off and put the new one on.I hope that each of us will not rush through the still point between that mask and this mask . I hope that each of us will honor the moment. I hope that each of us will feel the infinite-ness of our existence and the expansiveness of our being. I will. I do.
