Being Response-Able

I haven't been blogging or doing my newsletters recently and facebook and twitter comments even seem hard to find.

I'm in a place of 'sorting', it's not uncomfortable (most of the time), but in questioning every thought it has become difficult to make statements of opinion, idea's to share or find lessons that people should learn (ha ha ha).

I do however have a destination in mind and I just had the wonderful opportunity to have it validated.

I am lucky in this lifetime to have a Mother who is wise and a Father who is a seeker (yikes even in that sentence I find several 'stories' to question). I have been gifted with Mighty Companions on this journey.

My Dad and I were just on the phone and I haven't talked to him in a couple of weeks. He had given me a book "The Presence Process" by Michael Brown and I had given him a meditation CD - "The Quantum Life Breath" by Jaru Kabbal. These two works are incredibly supportive of one another so I was interested in seeing where he was at and what had been coming to him.

Mid way through the conversation he began to talk about a concept- honestly I wasn't listening, I was waiting to talk because I had a concept that I wanted to share. IT WAS THE SAME CONCEPT!

The concept that we have mutually come to, that was mentioned in neither of the works we were discussing, was the idea of being "Response-Able".

There is a heavy emphasis on responsibility in our culture, like many of the words that we use however (like respect for instance) this is interpreted differently by just about everyone. A responsible mother to one person can be something entirely different to another. This keeps everyone perfectly separated, frustrated and often in righteous indignation.

My destination in my current work, with my employer being the Creator (insert word of choice here), as opposed to being responsible is to be response able.

I am trusting that when the 'stories' - and there are oh so many, many; consider the meaning that we put on 'facebook', which is actually a neutral thing in our world! These stories keep us separate and in most cases unable to respond to the callings of our heart, the callings of the Divine.

"I feel like it would be helpful to go away for a weekend, but I feel guilty because I'm a Mom and I should like being with my kids" as an example- which keeps us unhappy whether we go away or stay home.

Response able to me is hearing the still, small voice inside and being able to respond, trusting that you will be led into situations that create the highest good for all. Letting go of the masks of woman, mother, friend, spouse and so on, and so on.

So bear with me, my posts may be intermittent- or not- I have no idea, but I do have the intent that whatever I post will be helpful as we become more conscious together.
