Willingness to Know and Accept Truth is a Source of Healing

There is a story in Jamie Sam’s book The 13 Original Clan Mothers of two women, Blue Goose and Running Water, (pages 78-84).  March’s clan mother, Weighs the Truth, created a way for these two feuding women to come to know the more complete truth of themselves, each other, and their community. In their willingness to follow her guidance, both women became willing and able to see clearly and understand their life experience.  From this new understanding, they were able to see the source of their fears and limited thinking.  With the healing that resulted from their work, they took their rightful place as friends and wise women in their community. 

The healing journey of transformation for Blue Goose and Running Water took thirteen moon cycles.  It is easy to be impatient for changes within ourselves, of our beliefs and our old patterns of feeling, thinking and being to change.  In our modern culture, we want change NOW, and if we don't have to give much effort, that is even better.  This kind of change is not sustainable.  The value we receive is equal to the value we give.  Blue Goose and Running Water transformed themselves, each other and their community.  This is the kind of transformation asked of those who live toward honoring the Cycles of Truth and the gift of being human.

Self Reflection: May I never forget how my willingness to Know and Accept the Truth in my self heals me, heals my relationships, heals my community, and heals the world.

Carolyn's Vision and Intention for March--weighing the truth of from where I have come and where I may go (grow)!

This month I want to look at the truths underneath my reaction patterns and my response to my experiences.  
I commit to exploring how the beliefs I carry are not really truth, but are based on fears and staying small.  I want to see if this is really true—or if this is just another area where I am not being truthful with myself and others.  
My intention as I move from the new moon through the full moon is to seek clarity around settling in and creating a secure home for myself.  
I ask for wisdom and discernment about how to best steward my home and for good and wise decisions.  
I seek that my decisions are based on truths and not on my fears.  
My second intention for this month is in the Element of finances in the Creative Aspect.  
I commit to seeing the truth underlying my reactions, behaviors and spiritual connection around money issues.  
Prayer contemplation and seeking support from others and from Source is what I commit to –releasing what is not true and being willing to see more clearly the vision for what IS possible in my vision for my future.  
I realize I have only allowed myself glimpses of what might be possible for me (and my life). I commit to building a clear and abundant vision as I also commit to seeing and forgiving the origin(s) of my fears.
