Settling in - the limits of honesty
Yesterday a violent wind shook us and ripped off our roof. We don't know where we will be settling, if we will be able able to stay the same. Today we set our minds to find comfort in what will be, we must settle in a moving ship, as things will be moving. Uncertainty and swift change comes when we open our lives to the nawal, this spiritual path is represented by today's combination. As a message, today invites us to be open for change, the only means to really walk away from harm, limitation and dis-ease.
Being a caretaker, I sought since yesterday to lay down structures that would bring safety and comfort in face of what just happened, and I was revealed a secret, a piece of wisdom, that I wish to share. I'm not sure how related it can be to today's combination, but it's the time when it has come and it's the day when I'm sharing it. It starts by knowing that language is not absolute. Words mean something only in the context of how they are spoken. Their meanings vary and misinterpretations are common. Most fights start and end because we simply don't know this, we are not open to understanding (intellectually) the limitations of language. From here, our hearts wish they could express themselves profoundly. Being loving we understand, is being honest. Hearts looks like, come from the nawal, an area of the universe that doesn't make sense, and can't be made sense. The tonal, and language, attempt at it, and that's the limitation to our honesty.
Some things we will have to keep quiet and be at peace that we will only understand ourselves. Each one of us is their own path, has their own level of development and is accompanied by their own energies -peculiar ways of entangling and making sense to the energy lines of the cosmos-. What makes sense to us, we cannot force another to understand it quite the same way. We can come close, we can try, but there is a limit. If we push the limit, we will end up forcing things, we will accomplish the contrary, more confusion, and this time not only will we not help the other understand us, we will probably make the other hurt us. Our heart needs to learn to be at peace where it is, settling in in a moving cosmos that is not complete, that is not quite comfortable and loving enough for it.
