The Growing Field

09/25/2022 by Aruni

“The Growing Field”


Sky Over Kripalu

 

This blog post is also available on my Facebook page to make sharing it with friends and family easy for you to do.

 

All that we don’t know, 
Can, 
Each and every time, 
Be met with all that we are.

Somehow, 
We miraculously discover 
We usually have 
What we need to survive.

And sometimes, 
We discover 
We 
Don’t 
Have 
What we need 
At all.

Then
 The “growing field” 
Is revealed.

~~~
I am tired
So tired
Of 
My
Hypervigilance.

Figuring
It
Out
Before
It 
Happens.

Working
On 
Plans
A, B, 
L
And
K,

Prematurely
Obsessed
Before anything
Even
Unfolds.

I’m here
To remind
You
And 
Me
And 
Us,
All—

“The growing field”
Is not
The 2:45 a.m.
Zone
Of
Creating
Responses
To
Things 
That 
Haven’t
Happened
Yet.

Figuring
It out
Is
Not
A
Spiritual
Practice.

 ~~~
What is
The 
Growing field?

Is it 
Revealed:

~~ When the
Next
Steps
Are 
Undetermined?

~~ When
No
Doorway
Appears
To
Open?

~~ When
Our
Will
Alone
Is
Not
Budging,
Moving
The
Situation?

~~ Is it
A
Dropping
Down 
Into
Emptiness?

~~ Is it
That
Relaxing
Into 
Quiet?

~~ What is it?

What is it
For you?

~~
What do we do
When
We’re in
The 
Growing field?

How do we 
Do more than
Just
Abide
Our
Not
Knowing?

How do
We honor it?

How do we
Continue
To remember
That this
Not
Knowing,

This
Not
Doing—

This
Is
The 
Place 
Of 
Divine
Intervention.

The
Place
Of
Divine
Growth.

The place
Of
Divine
Healing
And
Transformation.

~~~
How do we do it?

We practice.

We practice.

We
Practice
~~~
What’s my practice,

When I am
Immersed
In the
Growing
Field?

I stop.
I pray.
I feel.

And for me,
I reach out.

Asking 
One 
Person
Something…

Moves
The 
Energy.

Supports
The
Next steps
To 
Emerge.

~~~
Shift of gears
And mood,

Friends, 
Into one
Of celebration.

Here’s a wonderful thing, well, for us older folk.
OMG.  Okay, I’m old. 
That might be a prerequisite for adoring this song.
Here it is, on its 50th anniversary.
Here is Playing for Change, infusing such global energy, such life, musicians from around the world, celebrating Robbie Robinson’s The Weight.

Please watch!  
The musicians’ faces…
Their energy…

And—does Ringo continue to look the same?
Back then, did he look old?
Or…
Now, does he look young?

 

The Weight

If you are interested in more about Playing for Change and the story behind this new infusion of global energy into this song, here’s a seven-minute link:

Story behind the Song

~~~
Dear Friends,

When does your growing field emerge?
What does it feel like?
How do you interface with it?
What does it offer you?

Dear Friends,

One step,
One breath,
One
Thing
At a time.

That’s all life is
Asking.

All blessings,
Aruni

P.S.
During a Reiki session, my practitioner received that opening quote, from my heart.  Me to me.

And I
Gratefully
Share it,

From my heart
To yous.

Me
To
You.
