Open the door for August

Painting its steps in my direction, from nose to eyes, it waited. As I grew still, it walked closer. In the middle of the path we stood. Frozen yet malleable. 

The deer lifted its head. Something was left unsaid, yet understood. In the thick of life, on this forest path, awakening into a deep remembrance of why we were here. It turned away and went about its day, and I…moved.  

What are you willing to become? 

August's subtle shifts beckon us to quiet thoughts of unworthiness. It stares into our deepest awareness of who we are and summons us to open—not to the Mask nor the Mirror, but the One deep within us... and the path that is ours to make.  This month is a walk of Faith, and an awakening into the mystical experience of this Grace. One that will carry you into the season that is upon us and the remainder of this year.

“
And the All called upon us,
ushering in new waves
as the fall took place,
and all form became matter,
understanding no matter the way,
All is a Walk of Faith.

Soul

Faith—from the Latin word ‘Fidēs’ the Goddess of Trust. You may have thought you knew the meaning of Faith, but this month shall require a direct experience that will leave you untamed and unshackled, free to wonder, dream, and create. 

Each week...

I will share a sacred invocation, word, and passage to guide you deeper into your inner world and open the doorway to the Goddess of Trust that resides within you.  

Wielding the power to bridge Heaven and Earth, Faith asks you to open to your inner wisdom. To your inner heart. To a pathway that you cannot see, yet makes itself known as you lay your bare feet upon it, and walk.

There is no fear quite like the fear of your own freedom. When you ask for a grand awakening to it, remember the foundation you've built and stand firm within your decision. For when the door opens to you, it is your choice to stare upon it, hide from it, or walk through it. Which will you choose? And who are you willing to become along the way?

I invoke the Divine Path of my Soul to open, illuminate, and guide me home.

For the next 6 minutes, ask your Soul:

• Who am I?
• What am I to be?
• What am I willing to become?
• Show the Way for me.

Personally, these inquiries are timely as I prepare for my niece (who I still call my “Little One”) to begin a new chapter of Life titled “College: Adulthood Away From Home.” I find myself getting more emotional as the days near for her, for me, for my family.  

During my walk, the trees held me. Whispering through their leaves, they vibrated through me. Reminding me that we are held, we are loved, and we are guided. 

As our little ones grow and our loved ones age, we begin to wonder who we are now in the midst of it all. “There is beauty in Time, and power beyond it.” 

May you remember that you are loved and guided in this season of change (and always) and in the stillness that is to follow. 

Be gentle with yourself and your loved ones this month. Your presence is more than enough. As you are the embodiment of Divine Love. Remember who you are.

Have a sacred day. See you soon. 'Til next week...

Gracefully yours, Diamond
