Inspiration
Not only do we live in a living universe, but the living universe lives within us.
— Duane Elgin
In the Trillium Awakening path, we tend to talk about mutuality in terms of an exchange between two people - an exchange of deep authenticity. "Being in mutuality" generally implies a willingness to encounter each other vulnerably, with presence and respect, even when things get rough (or perhaps especially then). We can, however, widen the aperture of mutuality and recognize the way in which being in deep inter-relatedness is actually a condition of awakened life. In other words, we awaken to mutuality. In the short video and guided meditation below, I invite us into an embodied experience of being in mutuality with our self, with others, with the Earth, and with the Universe. What happens when we're this deeply, consciously, and sensorily embedded within the fabric of life? What does this fundamental connection to the Ecology of Mutuality ask of us, and how might it inform our choices and actions? * * * * * I thought I'd share with you my morning's journal entry since seems related to this topic. Enjoy! Note 1: I use a depth-writing process called Create! developed by my friend and fellow Trillium teacher, Joanne Lee. Note 2: The first sentence of this entry is inspired by my friend and poet, Don Freas' poem, Raise the Sun. What if your love polished water's dance to a sparkle, and what if the horse running freely across the broad, wild prairie sang your heart awake?
