theMessenger - Reach Higher

January 2007


Only as high as I reach can I grow,
only as far as I seek can I go,
only as deep as I look can I see,
only as much as I dream can I be.
- Karen Ravn

I always look forward to a new year. As yet another cycle spirals me onward and upward, I can sense that am on the brink of a new life. Within is a creative force that stirs me to become more with each passing moment. But how do I transmute the fear of change? I ask my breath to show me the way...an energy lubricant that relies on perfect harmony in order to thrive. In...out. Expand...contract. Act...release. Each breath teaches me how to let go. Fear becomes courage...courage becomes the power to act...and the power to act creates me anew.

The simple, yet profound, wisdom that can be found in the body both intrigues me and fills me with promise. Sensation does matter. I know this to be evident in my life, and it is the current foundation of my life's work. And thus, in 2007, I will reach higher, seek further, and look deeper. My vision relies on willing participants. Co-conspirators in passionate living and innocence reborn. Like-hearted spirits who are interested in tasting more of life's flavors, being touched from within, and becoming prolific in intertwined languages of body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

Reaching Higher,
Candice
