Invitation of the Sacred in Every Everyday Moment

Witch Bitch Credo #252:
Give yourself permission to feel and accept the sacred in every everyday moment, and the discomfort in sacred transformation.

Moments of grounding with bare feet caressing the earth, and the connected covenant of family giving birth to blissful sharing and magickal momentum can happen during high ceremony or latin jazz... give yourself permission to feel and accept the sacred in every everyday moment, and the discomfort in sacred transformation.

We plan out so many moments in our lives from the 5 year plan to the 10 year treatise.  Sometimes we get so caught up in what’s on the to do list, or how we thought our lives would look when, that we miss precious moments now.  

I am not saying anything is wrong with a good plan, sometimes it helps you get where you need to go in the most efficient way possible.  And...sometimes we are so caught up in the plan that we miss the journey. We are so focused on what everything should look like that the experience is lost.  

We walk through life with so much on our mind that we often forget that we are here to laugh and take in a good sunrise… or work to create a beautiful masterpiece of delicious flavors just to devour it.  Sometimes the beauty we create is to ingest and savour; to let it linger on our palate and release from our tongue in a whisper … sometimes a shout.

It is those simple moments of sacred communion with nothing but the breeze or a shared connection that have the most impact.  That perfect synergy created by a brief telling of a story between friends, or a compliment shared that you never knew could be so transformational.

Those juicy moments in the making can be uncomfortable to sit in even though we feel them so profoundly.  The subtle momentum in the making can be kabooshed by an awareness of the place we want to go, or the moment we just left… or the many moments swaying and echoing in our past.

That time where we are present in the rolling build of momentum manifest IS the sacred place. It is the place we dance magick into being.  It is the moment pregnant with possibility before a first long awaited kiss, or the first surrender of a place yet untouched. These places are full of electricity, beauty, solace, and synchronicity and … I almost wrote “ease”, but for there to be ease we have to practice leaning into that unknown place. When we lean in to what those moments can be, and really KNOW the gestation is happening, the journey through them comes with more ease. 

For me, that churning is full of life and promise and discomfort because it is the place at which I have not arrived at the answer. I don’t know the answer… that churning is a molding of clay, a dancing through uncertainty, a deep breath of “I don’t know” before magnificent inspiration.

THAT place is the churning of creativity. The well from which we are birthed and all our ideas swirl and tap and wrestle and fight and make love and fuck before they bring themselves fully into the light . THAT place is our power place. Our resonance place. Our rubber meets the road place. Our razor thin moment between and idea and its actualization. THAT place.  Our Angels, Faerie, Loved ones, Spirits, Universe, Goddesses, Gods… all those in the Unseen are inviting us to play in this land constantly because they KNOW it will lead to our power and delight… SO...

So here’s the challenge:  Accept the invitation. For the next week or month, or year…  what ever you can bring yourself to commit to… to my commitment phobic readers just try it for a day.

Take a moment to breathe every time you see… repeated numbers on a clock or 3 birds flying in a row, a song that has lyrics that speak to the thought you just had, or a scent that you only smelled on a specific person who has crossed over...or whatever everyday things the Universe may be using to speak directly to you.

Pick one friend or family member a day to give a call and tell them something you love and cherish about them, something you think makes them amazing, or a memory that you once shared that touched you.

And last but not least, add “take a moment to love my life and something I find beautiful in it” to your to do list everyday…

The miracles that are happening around you everyday are bound to be noticed by you if you do.

Accept the invitation.
