#16. Towering Vortex / Tower

The Day began as every other Day. The Sun rose,
People had breakfast, headed off to do their work,
or settled in with their Children and piles of laundry.
Birds were singing, Dogs were barking, Cats yawned.

Then as choreographed, the events of 9/11 unfolded,
shocking, horrifying, and awakening the distracted,
sleeping consciousness of our beloved US of America.
The implications of this one event, have challenged
the core of our belief structures, shattered illusions
of safety, and our reliance on government protection.
This has been our present generation's Wake-Up-Call.

Awakening within us all is a Personal / PlanetaryTruth,
that is restoring expression, in community in new ways.
All old structures without integrity, are disintegrating,
either naturally or shamefully. Like a Snake shedding
its skin, the fabric of who we are individually and
collectively, is now being shed. We feel vulnerable,
exposed, while enduring initiating transformation.

After personally emerging from a "Valley of Death",
I am now faced with the "Earthquake" of my Son's
Divorce. All involved , including his two Children,
are trying to secure footing, on shifting grounds.

Belief structures about Family, Marriage, Commitment,
Parenthood, Personal Health & Happiness are now being
examined, priorities re-arranged, to create new Lives.
Who are we becoming, in relationship to each other?

New Pathways are being forged. We are heading into
unknown, undefined, unexplored, personal territories,
tempting us, to surrender our inner-strength to FEAR.

As literal and metaphorical Towers become Vortexes,
the fabric of our FAITH is tested. TRUSTING in ourselves,
and each other's Process takes Courage. Remaining open
to /asking for Divine Guidance, can help us move forward.
Unconditional Acceptance, heals the wounds within our Past.
Embodying Wisdom with Integrity, our Love seeds eternity.

"And lend your Voices only
To sounds of Freedom..

No longer lend your Strength,
To that which you wish
To be Free from..

Fill your Lives
With Love & Bravery,
And you shall lead
A Life Uncommon." Jewel
