The Power of Spontaneity
Episode Number:

Is this a snow angel or a white butterfly? Is there a difference?
These interesting shapes have been appearing all around the mountain behind my home. I wonder who could be creating them? How lovely. How beautiful. How fun.
Well, it's me of course. And I've been fantasizing recently about how fun it would be if I could magically cover my tracks so these things would appear to be akin to snowy 'crop circles' - unexplained and mysterious - the talk of Tahoe. However, for all my explorations into the realms of quantum physics and applied spirituality, I haven't yet mastered the art of levitation sufficiently to do that yet. So there are still footprints.
Why am I telling you this? The power of spontaneity. It's a HUGE force in my life, and informs the work I'm doing in my business, with my clients and in pretty much everything I do actually. The lessons I learn from nature are precious. And she teaches me how to be completely in the moment, completely present and real and listening.
And from this listening comes magic. I get to experience myself my deeply, in a still space, and I also get to be privvy to some kick ass ideas that just pour into my awareness as I learn from nature's nature. These ideas inform my courses, my presentations, my communications, my relationships. My decisions. I'm learning to connect more deeply with my own true nature through the wisdom of nature.
If you ever should join us on a Maui retreat then you'll get a wonderful week-long immersion course in playing in nature's classroom. And you won't need to don snow shoes and woolly hats. You'll be nestled in the arms of Maui's feminine magnificence and invited to see your own reflection in the rivers and pools as you dive into your adventure.
So far I've made about 60 of these snowy guardians and I feel their presence melting into the land and infusing the mountain with a watchful silence that feels comforting.
What spontaneous explorations are you inspired to take right now? Why do you hesitate? Talk to nature. She'll set you straignt.
