We tend to be highly focused on our willingness and ability to keep moving, since movement and productivity have become our favorite measures of achievement. Yet, nature’s perspective says that any action taken for the sake of action, without purpose or guidance, sews the first seedlings of inevitable chaos and confusion.

There comes a point when our hopes and dreams cross paths with reality; and all that remains is the blaring truth, and illusions persist no longer.
Everything is made from the elements of nature. Still, not every natural reaction created by nature is made with the intention of love.
When we gather together the unique parts of ourselves, much like a mother gathering her young, we allow the self to acknowledge that every piece of us has its way of running wild; and its own way of being found.

“Our eagerness to act carries a certain fragile quality. When faced with opposition, our expectation that life will continue as we think it should, ultimately creates a basic disharmony with the people or situations around us.”

—Rachel Pollack, Seventy-Eight degrees of Wisdom
