I’ve just returned from a week-long New Years Retreat with Presence Collective. It was a profound week in which folks from all different walks of life joined me and jylani ma’at to release into Rest, Restoration, and Renewal. I especially appreciated how many various pathways to truth were honored. During the retreat, these words arose:
There is no wrong way
to truth.
There is only
one celebration after another.
Love overflowing with itself.
Singing yes, outpouring yes,
exclaiming YES
to all of it.
Yes to every expression
of divine possibility –
divine Love rushing
through the cells
of every body
every heart.
Saying yes to diverse pathways of remembrance – doorways to the knowing of our true nature – provides us with new language to articulate the deepest universal truths. Perennial truths. Saying yes to life can allow us to be freed from the conditioned loop of seeking and resisting. It can spark remembrance of what’s most fundamental: awareness itself.
Where in your life might you more fully release into the practice of yes? And what needs to be let go of to allow that to be possible?
