How does it make sense to be in the world?

This is the question that imbues my days with what often feels like restlessness and anxiety. I struggle with angst and fear and downright despair. I search for hope and possibilities and signs of awakening. I find myself cocking an ear, listening, or gazing out the window, scanning the horizon. I want to sit, a lot, on the ground or amongst trees. I pay attention to my dreams. I have no patience for the status quo. I have an urge to wander, both inwardly and outwardly....  I know what I am experiencing is that in-between place of "what was" and "what is becoming." While it can feel overwhelming or frightening at times, I'm learning to relax into it and listen to what it has to teach me.

I believe this is one of the necessary skills of our time - to hold that sacred space of pure presence to what is unfolding in our universe. Not in a passive, wait-and-see way. For me it's relational and co-creative. What evolutionary forces are at work? What is wanting to be born? How can I help? What can I contribute? How does it make sense to be? What is "out there" beyond the narrow confines of our sadly myopic worldview?

Duane Elgin wrote a wonderful book called "The Living Universe" which he describes in the video that follows. He starts with a fundamental premise that I share - that the Universe is a living system and embodying ourselves in that system makes all the difference in how we see, and behave in, our world. Let's begin here.

WelcomeTo the Latest Evolution of BeingChange ...

... reflecting some simple shifts in focus and intention.

First, BeingChange will foremost be a container for my personal story of navigating the Great Turning. I will share my experiences, hopes, fears, dreams - as well as resources and ways to engage in your own way. I strongly believe in the power of story and I'm passionate about exploring the possibilities for a transition into a future with a regenerated Earth and whole human beings. This is what I live and breathe. I've learned much along the way and it is my hope that my attempts to “be the change” will support you on your own journey of
healing,  transformation, and conscious evolution.

This shift  also honors my need to find and express my own voice - as a person, as a writer, and as a spiritual activist. I don't see my role as "teacher" but as facilitator and co-creator. Which brings me to the next shift...

Second, there will be much more emphasis in BeingChange as a community, with every effort made to build a thriving following with much sharing of stories, resources, and support. Bear with me as I continue to learn the technology to accomplish this in cyberspace and as I continue developing circles, courses, events, and other ways to get involved - both in real life and through this site. AND please do go here (and scroll down to the bottom) to see how you can join our community right now!

While the nature of story is organic and not to be forced into boxes, I'm committed to posting at least once a week, so I hope you'll visit often. I look forward to journeying with you.
