Watching from my deck as a hawk circled overhead, I was in awe of the seeming effortlessness of his soaring. I was wanting more of that in my life but felt like I had lost my connection with that feeling. Life was feeling like a struggle.
As I kept watching in awe at the beauty and grace of his movements, I realized that in order to achieve that height and take advantage of the upper air currents, the hawk still had to put in some effort of flapping his wings to create lift and, having reached the altitude that would allow him to glide from current to current, still had to occasionally flap his wings to course correct and stay aloft. What appeared so effortless still required some effort.
What I remembered in that moment was that it isn’t about getting to a point where we no longer have to put in any effort but rather how we experience the efforts we’re making. To the hawk, flapping his wings to achieve the needed lift so that he can achieve that state of perpetual gliding is completely natural, requiring no thought, no inner debate. It is not hard work. It simply is.
I had lost a sense of ease and flow in my life not because I got off track and now needed to bushwhack my way back. I simply needed to shift my perspective of the track I was already on. Like all divine truth, simple if not always easy.

On Valentine’s Day, this uplifting poem by Mary Oliver came my way, and something within me loosened and felt more free. I share its beauty and expansiveness here with you. Perhaps you will be inspired to write your own love letter to the world.
Of Love
I have been in love more times than one,
thank the Lord. Sometimes it was lasting
whether active or not. Sometimes
it was all but ephemeral, maybe only
an afternoon, but not less real for that.
They stay in my mind, these beautiful people,
or anyway beautiful people to me, of which
there are so many. You, and you, and you,
whom I had the fortune to meet, or maybe
missed. Love, love, love, it was the
core of my life, from which, of course, comes
the word for the heart. And, oh, have I mentioned
that some of them were men and some were women
and some—now carry my revelation with you—
were trees. Or places. Or music flying above
the names of their makers. Or clouds, or the sun
which was the first, and the best, the most
loyal for certain, who looked so faithfully into
my eyes, every morning. So I imagine
such love of the world—its fervency, its shining, its
innocence and hunger to give of itself—I imagine
this is how it began.
-Mary Oliver, from Red Bird (Beacon Press, 2008).

We are Light. All of creation is Light. Yet it can sometimes be a challenge to see that light reflected in the world. Our physical human eyes can detect less than 1% of the known electromagnetic spectrum. Scientific research and special instruments have revealed many more wavelengths in existence which impact us on a daily basis without our conscious awareness. But we can re-attune ourselves to “see” those frequencies with our inner knowingness. We can re-attune ourselves to Source Light.
My soul recently reminded me of a streaming series I watched several years ago titled “All the Light We Cannot See”[1], which was an adaptation of the award-winning book by Anthony Doerr. Though I only saw the screen version (which included some changes from the original book), I found it quite powerful. Set during World War II, it follows the stories of two young adults, one German and one French, who are unknowingly connected by a mutual love of a radio science program about the electromagnetic spectrum. The professor who narrates the program discusses “all the light we cannot see” and how powerful of a force that unseen light is in our lives and throughout the universe. Those teachings were a beacon of light to each of them during a time when the world seemed a very dark place to many.
These two characters also became themselves beacons of light through their actions by holding hope in a time of great turmoil. Their actions seemed small in the context of the big machines of war, but as the viewer you see what they cannot- the ripple effects their actions have for others. They become, in their own ways, the light that others cannot see but feel the effects of nonetheless.
When we’re struggling to see light in the world, it may be helpful to remember that we don’t need to actually see it to know it. We may be straining to see the light, to see the “good” in a world that seems uncertain, but divine light is always visible with our inner sight. Sometimes, all we need to do is relax and trust and we will know Light in all its unique manifestations.

Just let it go! A common phrase used in a variety of stressful situations, but we all know it’s easier said than done. I’ve been working with letting go in my own life and was recently reminded of the famous song “Let It Go”(1) from the movie Frozen.
For those who don’t know the creation story of the movie, Elsa was originally characterized as an evil snow queen with magical powers who goes up into the icy mountains and comes back with a snow army to wreak havoc on the town. The songwriters working on “Let It Go” were trying to understand the character more deeply by imagining the experiences that led her to that pivotal moment on the snow-covered mountain. The further they delved into a character who had been shut away from the world as a child and told that her unique powers were dangerous, the more the tone of the song shifted. Once they realized that this was going to be a song of acceptance, freedom and empowerment, the song was finished in less than two days. After presenting the song to the story writers, everyone realized that the entire plot needed to be re-worked to reflect this new understanding of Elsa’s character and the meaning of her inner journey. The movie was literally re-written around the song.
I believe that these heart-centered insights into this character directly contributed to the wild popularity of both the song and the movie. It wasn’t just another hero/heroine story involving a battle with a villain; it was a story of becoming and self-realization. The message touched a chord across the globe not just with children but with many adults. It carried a powerful message about letting go of our fears, accepting ourselves for who we are and allowing our inner gifts to express fully in the world, regardless of what others may think, feel or say in response. Letting go and self-acceptance, free of judgment, free of fear, is the path to true inner freedom and surrender to ourselves as Source.
I share the lyrics of the song here for use in your meditations, if you are guided. Some of the verse may speak to you with unique insights:
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I’ll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never goin’ back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Is it possible to be addicted to 3rd dimensional consciousness itself? The answer that came to me recently is “yes”. As healers, many of us have worked on our attachments to aspects of 3rd dimensional reality; perhaps situations, substances, specific people or beliefs or emotions. I was recently guided to work with healing addiction to 3rd dimensional consciousness as a whole and to heal any “withdrawal” symptoms from letting it go.
We can keep ourselves operating in 3D consciousness even when our overall frequency is no longer a match. It’s a bit like continuing to do the work of a high-schooler because it feels familiar and comfortable even though we’ve already graduated our Master’s degree. The key is to identify what’s holding us in old patterns and keeping us from being in alignment with who we are now. Wherever we’re still holding beliefs in our separation, we may still perceive ourselves as dependent on 3D consciousness to function. We haven’t fully remembered who we are beyond the 3D patterns and rules we’ve become dependent upon.
If we’re afraid to allow ourselves to just be Pure Love and Pure Joy and if we focus on the outcomes of actions rather than the vibrations of those actions as being aligned with Pure Love and Joy, then we may still have attachments to 3D consciousness. The attachment could be as simple as doubting that just being Love is enough. The withdrawal symptoms could be as subtle as frequently thinking we should be doing more clearing or more acts of service even when we’re guided there isn’t more to be done right now.
If any of this resonates with you, it may be a good time to ask if you have any addiction to 3D consciousness that’s ready to be healed and whether you need to identify more specific attachments or “withdrawal” symptoms. I also recommend reading Lori Rock’s blog this month for more insights, Redux: Renunciation of the Third Dimensional World. Allowing and Detaching with Compassion
Keep shining and remember you are Creator!
