Into the Fire

It's that time of year again...Lots of looking back and forward at the same time.

I don't know too many people that aren't basically pretty glad to be looking at 2008 in the rear view mirror, but what about 2009? I for one am excited about the possibilities. Times of radical change, like we seem to be in, are also times of quantum leaps. The field is ripe for a quantum lead forward on our evolutionary process - as individuals and as a human species - and I am glad to be alive and a part of it.

But in order to step forward, we are going to have to be willing to leave some things behind. I have been working on my list, what about you? At the top of mine is my attachment to known forms. What does that mean? It means that I am willing to release my beliefs about the way things are "supposed" to be. What my material possessions are "supposed" to be at this point in my life. What my work is "supposed" to look like. What my personal relationships are "supposed" to be like. I am throwing all of that into the fire - not the possessions, work and relationships; but my beliefs about them - with no expectations as to what will come from the ashes.

What are you throwing in to the fire?
