“The time of no more hiding is when
You stop apologizing, making excuses
and the past does not define your future
There is a joy that comes, a peace that comes,
when you aren’t hiding from yourself any more
Watch for this bubbling up of pleasure,
and embrace it in beauty every chance you get”

Dear Ones,
Oh how I wish I could pour you a cuppa and we could read what the tea leaves have to say when we are done. If only we could tell the future even a day or two in advance. It seems we are being asked, well more like summoned to learn a new agility of being.
I really wish I had more answers to share. I don’t have answers per usual, yet I do have ways of working. When as a young painter, I wasn’t able to paint what I say my teacher Sue said “We must develop a way of working for you”. In other words, a hack. Since most of what she and others tried to show me I could not do. I failed at even the color wheel. No joke. And so would begin the process of discovering the healing power of Intentional Creativity while she shared a way of working with me…and soon enough we shared it with others. This past week I shared ‘a way of working’ with over 230 women making themselves into a new potential story. It is awesome.
Today I am appearing here in your inbox to share the painting I made, and the writing that came from it. And to say, you too can do your work through image and language. We are going to need some powerful tools to navigate and still stay true to who we are.
We have a big week of events coming up – and I gotta jump on one now – but I wanted you to know I am thinking of you. I really am. Every one of you. Some of us are individual empaths, others of us are collective empaths – where we FEEL the bigger swath of human beingness either in our own circle of connection or the broader circle. And this is a lot to feel, those of us who intuit this way are tuning into a lot of grief, and a desire for healing. Which is why healing and the healed healer will be my focus in 2021. More on that soon...
Until then, sending big beautiful real true real-time love, if you would like some, it is here.
The reading and viewing of the painting will take time. If you have to rush off, go ahead, but if you can spare ten minutes for a journey into the land of self-expression and transformation, please do. It is a fictional account from the Archetypal ethos of the painting, yet draws from my own experience.
Revelation of Being : Metanoia at a Time of No More Hiding
She comes to you at a time
when there can be no more hiding
from yourself
You are ready to break the spell
The time of no more hiding is when
You claim your body as a temple
and choose to treat yourself as a sacred being
You inhabit your consciousness as a cosmic library
and your ideas and stories are available for access
You let your heart be the cathedral of love that it can be
and you stop withholding for fear of loss
You know that the regenerative codex of your body
hold the codes of creation as a template for healing
You listen to the deep inner knowing of your soul,
even when you aren’t able to follow all that is revealed
and you move towards your own gnosis with every breath
All the while you are conscious of being conscious
You are intentional about what you create
You know the power of your word, and your actions,
and you wield your magic with a magnitude of
responsibility, awareness and whenever possible, joy!
Every single relationship you have,
internal, personal, transpersonal and collective
is impacted by your no longer hiding
You have a revelation of being
Being enough, Being here, Being whole,
even when there are still wounds to tend
as there will always be
and still
there is wholeness here when you choose
to embody the fullness of soul available
at any given moment of your precious life
When you no longer let others and circumstances
or yourself, keep you from your cure
Your cure?
Inhabiting your identity in the fullest
way possible. For if you do not
You will not know who truly lives in here
waiting for your revelation, preparing your medicine,
holy magic and the metanoia that comes with the choice
to mend your consciousness
When you realize that even the physical constraints,
will not keep you from who you are
The pain of the body or heart or soul will always threaten
to have you feel betrayed in one way or another
Transcendence does not mean you don’t live
in the reality of the body’s needs and blessings,
it means you do not see the constraints as a
punishment or reward and you tend your health
as a temple for your spirit
You make less meanings about why things happen
and move forward with what is possible
The time of no more hiding is when
You have full awareness that you love this world
yet choose to not be part of persistent wrong-doing
When you know that it is not ‘this world’ that is bad,
that there are those who do not seek to heal,
but seek to harm, and you choose to remove yourself,
from their spheres of influence on every occasion
where it becomes conscious and possible
From here your soul will call you to compassion,
to justice and to work side by side with others
who are no longer hiding from themselves
We hide from ourselves because it feels like too much
because we do not feel cut out for whatever this is
We hide from ourselves because we are afraid and
have been taught to be ashamed of being
We hide from ourselves because we fear what might be
revealed if we awaken to who we are
Yet the price of hiding from ourselves is too high,
the soul does not develop, the body does not dance,
the freedom does not come, the relationships do not bloom
the life is not lived as it could be and justice
will not be served
You can have a relationship with your inner seeing
and inner being, and they are coherent
with who you are being in the world
and in your relationships
The time of no more hiding is when
You know that you are home on earth, and begin to see
this home as holy, sacred, and intimate with who you are
You learn that we are all related and begin to be consistent
with this awareness, which will change the path of your life
Sometimes there is forgiveness of self and other requested
Sometimes there is a repentance from how you have been being
not in self punishing ways perhaps, rather, a full turning from
how you have been being to how you will now choose to be
No one who has been asleep that is now awake
is saying this is easy
yet all who have come through the portal of hiding into
the revelation of being, reach for you hands
A new path emerges
when the time of no more hiding is over
and you are revealed to yourself
The self that is revealed to us, is often far more
ready for revolution than the hidden self,
for she has not really been dormant,
she has been working on your behalf
all along even when you thought you were
asleep, the part of you that loves
was working with unseen hands on behalf of beauty
The time of no more hiding is the time when
You are able to see the errant belief systems at work
and you choose to find another way to work with what is
You are able to identify the false patterns,
and you exit the toxic matrix in every area you are able
You are able to see the things which are not life creating
and have perspective from a distance, yet remain vigilant
You choose with all your being, the best you can,
not to contribute, condone or participate
in every version of invented inequality and hierarchy
You choose justice, compassion and generosity instead
of scarcity, greed, oppression and power-over structures
Even when that means giving up something that benefits you
or letting go of alliances which request something other than
full bodied, full-hearted, wild-loving being-ness
The time of no more hiding is when
You stop apologizing, making excuses
and the past does not define your future
There is a joy that comes, a peace that comes,
when you aren’t hiding from yourself any more
Watch for this bubbling up of pleasure,
and embrace it in beauty every chance you get
To be awake
You must exit the systems that harm your consciousness
even when you cannot leave them fully in your body
You must realize when there is danger present and when
there isn’t present danger, you must rest
You must choose, again and again, a path that is more
and more free of power-over trappings of the past
You must remove your own leg from the trap
even if you readily stepped into it or found yourself
there without knowing how you arrived
You choose the only freedom that is yours to choose
the one where you live from your own soul expression
You choose the only spirituality that works with how you feel,
the one that moves in pure love coupled with wisdom
the one that does not shame or blame or assert supremacy
She comes to you at a time
when there can be no more hiding
from yourself
She is the part of you that truly feels,
that knows what she knows,
and invites others to their knowing
She is the part of you that is willing
to spend as long as it takes to mend
what needs mending
She is becoming the healed healer,
leaving behind the stories of the wounded healer
when she is tired of telling them as a way
of remaining hidden,
and can tell them as a way of illumination
to lift the others still in the hidden domains
There is a time for every part of our lives
and there comes a time for no more hiding
Not because we aren’t wounded,
but because the archetypal frame
requires expansion at every threshold
She offers a mystic template for liberation,
And you say yes
You don’t know what it means yet,
but you say yes and the work deepens
The mystery opens another door,
and you are welcomed inside
There is a council of others inside
already waiting, you have called them
and they have called you to this circle
You are all already connected to one another
Even if it was not conscious, you were all
already headed here
Each of you carries
your own sacred threads of evolution which
leads to revolution on every level possible
As you witness one another’s stories
you raise each other up in the whole soul space
This isn’t something only in a story,
a poem, a dream, a myth
This of which I speak, is the choice of all beings
when the time is ripe for revelation
It comes at the time when you are ready
Being ready is personal, intimate
but you will know it when it is near
Maybe that day is today
Liberation happens inside first
Then you move it from within you,
into the world you know is waiting
for your revelation of love
When you are ready to break the spell
the time of no more hiding is at hand
Keep watch! We are with you on the path
Love is at the center of all of this sacred work
From love, you must be willing to go face to face
with suffering
Your own and the worlds,
without turning away, instead turning towards
Then when the despair of awareness awakens
in you, you must walk with it, without letting it
take over your direction
This is where most of us stop
You move through the despair with
active potentials, bringing your medicine
and healing and wild self forth
along with the others
who have faced suffering and walked
with despair and now begin to run with hope
As you run with hope you gain momentum
This momentum creates and inspires change
and it flows like a river from your soul
Then you dance with joy and in this dance with joy
there is freedom, and in this freedom we are together
All of this happens inside in the invisible realm,
and then, the next work,
is to practice it out in the visible realm
Your joy, will inspire others, and when they come,
even though it is hard, you must tell them,
they too must be willing to face suffering
To break the spell you must work first inside,
setting free the soul’s expressions and then
bring it forth as a gift on the altar of creation”
They nod back at me, they already know
In the speaking of it, it is revealed
