We often talk about loving our beating hearts. And we should: they do us great good. 💞
In the wake of the civil rights marches of 2020, our hearts are working hard. They are keeping our courageous foot soldiers alive in needed protests, keeping our healers grounded when sending needed healing for positive change across the globe, keeping our activists firm when calling officials in power to make improvements to corrupt and exposed systems as the people prepare to vote.
But how often do we reflect on the rest of the beats and pulses that flow through our body and throughout our planet earth? 🌏
I found myself lying under the mighty sun today, getting some Vitamin D, in the heat of summer temperatures, and looked down at my bikini and noticed that (when I stopped inhaling for just a moment) my tummy was beating… My Beating Belly.
I took a moment to thank my beating heart, my beating belly, the pulse in my wrist, in my toes, in my thighs, in my neck and so on and so forth. How wonderful to trust in the rhythm of love in my body every moment and every day, in all situations. I sent my “beats” some love. Ba dum ba dum, ba dum ba dum, ba dum ba dum…
But if a pulse to keep me going runs through my entire being, then a pulse to keep me going must run through all the facets of my existence on this earth…
… So I took a moment to thank and send love to the pulses in my direct friendships and family. These pulses also keep me going, keep me alive…
Pulses with people who have taught me things, pulses with people who I have taught things to, pulses that have caused agitation and we’ve had to farewell, pulses that have caused agitation and have brought us closer together…
Then in my mind’s eye I saw all the pulses of the Universe, between every cell, to creature, to thing, to being, to smile, to trial, to pain, to shame, to silence, to presence, to love, to joy, to peace.
Thank you to you all. Thank you to all the pulses in our planet earth. Thank you to my beating belly. Thank you to our Beating Bellies.
