The Light Show  

We are on a journey of exploration into the unknown... how may we cross the mists from not knowing to knowing?  The answer seems to be one at a time, while our beloveds hold a space of love and connection.  And the information we bring back activates and reconfigures all that we already know together.

Today's show was a marvelous experience of unfolding... continuing from a conversation that we had yesterday, Bonnie journeyed into her own spaces of knowing ... almost a prophetic sense, a sparkling pull toward newness.  At one moment of hesitation, Teresa asked her to breathe and she went deeper.  Recalling her experience many years ago, with geneticists gathered around her dining room table, naming DNA "junk", Bonnie tuned into the "lightness of heart" which she had felt then.  She had spoken to the geneticists about her sense that the "junk" DNA could just be something not yet known, something of real import, and remembered the dismissal of the geneticists when she spoke.  (Now we know that junk DNA is a vital part of the dynamic dance between the DNA and its environment.)

As Bonnie spoke I could feel her learning/expansion, increasing awareness of the value of her "sense", the courage she had shown to speak up at the time, Teresa's encouragement to continue her journey into the unknown right now.  My own story... of following my joy/excitement about buying a piano, then about buying a computer, all leading to a "liminal" moment with my daughter Ariel... was reconfigured as I listened. (My brain had linked my excitement to the things I considered buying.  After Bonnie's journey I remembered that Ariel had made a trip home for some trivial reason, and she had accompanied me in the car to evaluate my potential purchases.  It seemed more true that I was tuning into something happening within Ariel and intuiting that there was a pivotal moment to share with her in the car!)

Every thread we examined... Bonnie's sense of being gentle with her self (moving forward little by little); Teresa's reflection on the "secret garden" of our Show, cultivating growing from the unknown to the known; my sense of the strategic limitations of the mind; all contributed to a "whole" Show today.  We wove a beautiful conversation...

I was reminded of Hank Wesselman's description in one of his books, of his journey into the heart of Oneness, his return held safely by his relationship to his partner shaman.  Perhaps each of us can journey into the heart of Oneness, where all that is known resides, held safely by our love and connection with one another, to return with whatever knowings are needed in each moment!!
