It is all about going back again and again to what I really love. In between the chaos of getting everything sorted before I leave to Crete, I remember. 

I am aware that you are also on a busy schedule. Let's take a moment together. This moment. Allow yourself to be held in the arms of the Goddess. Just be. While I let myself be. John Lennon said: 'life is about what happens in between your appointments'. Can we enter that inbetween space together? Can we find life together?

That is what really counts. As I say it, I feel me breath deepening, my eyes closing. I feel vulnerable. I don't know where this will take us. AND, I feel life quickening. I know again that it is exactly this: to grow the capacity to stay in that moment, to not cut it short. To trust Life, trust Goddess. Just the right thing will start happening. 

Jamie Sams has this beautiful story about the gate to the Divine being closed. All the animals came together to find a solution. In the end the heroic lion went- only to discover two terrible monsters to guard the gateway. Lion drooped back. Eagle befell the same fate. Then it was Doe that stood up. All the animals felt heartbroken as she went, thinking this would be the last time they saw her. But when Doe came to the gate, and the big monsters puffed themselves up even bigger, Doe simply looked them lovingly in the eyes. The huge things started emitting fire and bellowed: 'who are you and why should we let you through?' Doe didn't waver: 'because I love Great Spirit and want to go to Her'. The huge monsters melted until they were no more than puppies... and Doe walked through. Since then the gateway to the divine is open again, to those who remember her lessons.

...

The experience itself is beyond words. I can share only how it leaves me: more connected to you, to myself. I feel the longings of both of us for this vast stillness, this infinite presence. WE are her daughters, we are sisters.

When I am in Crete the coming weeks, I will be guiding 11 women on their Quest for Initiation into the Mysteries. I will carry this moment in my heart. I will carry you in my heart.

bless you,

Klara
