“Wisdom tells me I am nothing.  Love tells me I am everything.  Between the two my life flows.” Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj The constant swing from human to divine is the ebb and flow of ocean tides washing flotsam and jetsam.  Only essential Self remains when we have been pushed and pulled back and forth between endless demands of relationship polarities. Learning to respond rather than react to polar swings hones edges, awakens sensitivities, and grinds grain from the chaff.  In the dark of a New Moon birth, we prepare for Full Moon revelation. In summer’s richness waits winter’s barren bones. In the storm’s center, lies its stillness.  As we dance between contrasts, growing consciousness from un-consciousness, we deepen the response between fate and free-will. This emerging free-will creates new mind/body/spirit pathways.  It is a magical endeavor where we are able to heal psychic splits and divided selves. In the willingness to struggle with and against polarities, to risk wild swings, and manipulate multiple relationships lies the opportunity to enter new realities.  This can be a space where what was invisible- becomes visible, and what was previously impossible – manifests. It doesn’t always work that wonderfully, but at bare-bones bottom, that flotsam-jetsam bald and bold place, we might become the best and brightest of who we are.  Having swung back and forth not only between wisdom and love, but more likely, fear and anger, selfishness and generosity, even Revelation and Armageddon long enough, wisdom teams with love to open the listening heart. Ain’t nothing better than that, eh?
