Footprints in the Wind^sm # 948

We do not so much have divinity within us but the other way round.

The mystic used to search within for divine forces. No more! For the mystic is within the divine. The creative unfolding whole, is conversation, is divinity working; the mystic has a role—standing in the face giving, accepting offers, extending invitations, helping the whole well unfold. The mystic is midwife: witness to blood and screams, holding hands, waiting, cutting cords, cleaning up, sharing, smiling, crying, resting. All midwife the whole: the whole births.

Please pass it on.

The magic is among us. The imminent, the forgotten: one. The magic is between us, released when we bump.

:- Doug.

Fission and fusion: we can release energy either by splitting or by bringing together, but the larger energy is in bringing together.

Of course it makes sense: we are bringing the energy of more than one to the scene. But it is more energy than we thought they contained: how is that possible?
