We are plentiful and bountiful.
And we can’t go wrong.

These were the words I woke up with this morning. Although I couldn’t remember the details of last night’s dream, I was grateful to receive this message from the Dreammaker. In addition, for the first time in a long while, I felt physically well rested when I opened my eyes. I even felt the corners of my lips lifting up as I recited these words. Charles and I immediately made a jingle out of it.

I feel guided, supported, and looked after by Life.

When we took the girls to the orthodontist’s yesterday for their bi-annual check-up (no, they aren’t wearing braces yet), one of the office assistants said to me, “You look so stress-free, Jung! You must like your new work. What are you doing now?” She looked at me with her inquiring eyes, and I responded to her with a smile: “I am working at home now.” She looked puzzled, but nodded her head slowly anyhow and said, “Oh, okay.”

It is hard to explain because I wouldn’t quite understand it myself if I were to use the rational part of my brain. I am not earning any money for the first time since I graduated from law school over two decades ago, yet I feel wealthier and more supported than ever before. Although I am no longer pursuing a legal career or any other career for that matter, I have never been so sure and so certain of my work as I am now in my entire adult life. I don’t have a clear plan for bringing in income at this time, but I have never been so peaceful, at ease, and centered as I am now. It is such a mystery. But isn’t Life a mystery? There are far more things in life that we can’t explain with our rational mind than those which we can explain.

I feel that I am being guided and led by Life. When I finally stopped trying to lead in my dance with Life, and surrendered myself to the greater force, Life began dancing with me. My job is to get out of the way and let myself flow with the natural rhythm of Life. Yet, in no way has my life become passive. Life is demanding and I need to be accountable for my part. It certainly isn’t a cakewalk to stay awake, and to live with awareness and consciousness. Even though it’s true that now that I know the richness and fullness of living consciously, I wouldn’t live any other way, it does require the daily practice of:

• showing up,
• being patient and persistent, as I apprentice myself to becoming my true self, and
• listening deeply to my soul to shine my light as best as I can.

Life’s eternal promise is that I will be taken care of no matter what, because Life loves me exactly the way I am. And the love I feel from and for Life sustains and nurtures me to create soulful work and life.

We are plentiful and bountiful.
And we can’t go wrong.
No matter what.
