Moving With Mystery

You can't see beyond

the next step,

but you know what it feels like to

let go —

to move with Mystery.

It’s time to sense into that knowing.

You’re noticing your need,

and here I AM.

I called you — and LOOK! —

you’re doing it.

The soul gesture invited here

is not new to you —

but this context is unfamiliar.

Your disorientation makes sense —

and right here —

a beautiful substantiality

is emerging.

This is not about worthiness —

and even here —

it’s not about trying.

This is co-creation.

Do you remember propagating pothos?

“Stems without at least one leaf won’t flourish,”

said conventional wisdom and Google.

And still, you filled jars with

water, love, and stubborn hope.

In them, you placed

leafless stems.

You couldn’t make them grow —

but you made space for

the possibility of flourishing.

Can you still reach your stubborn hope?

There’s a current between

knowing and unknowing —

it will carry you.

Becoming is a slow, steady, non-linear process — finding fluency in our particular ways of knowing, getting a felt sense of what it’s like to relax into unknowing, and falling through fear into Love over and over again — is the very heart of spirituality.

Doubts, detours, tangents, ruptures and repairs, and course correction are non-negotiable elements of becoming.

I’m participating in this great cosmic unfolding by bearing witness to complexity, by naming and normalizing inner and outer experiences that — in the absence of a steady guide — are disorienting and nearly unbearable. I journey alongside others as they get a feel for what moving with mystery is like for them.

Would you like some company as you move with mystery? I offer spacious accompaniment and trauma-informed spiritual direction. I’d love to hear what’s stirring in you and meet with you for a free exploration session.
