Hey everyone!  I love to share with you!  I love to be in heart connected conversation about who we REALLY are!  That knowing brings such expanded freedom, peace and enjoyment of life.  But sometimes writing to you can get me in my head. Prose can trip me up.  That’s why it has worked so well for me to have the sweet format of coloring pages. And more recently, I’ve been doing those simple poems that begin with the letters of the coloring page messages.  

I was reading Brother David’s Gratitude Journal and in it he described a gratitude game of going through the alphabet, looking around for something to be grateful for that starts with each letter.  It occurred to me that Brother David’s alphabet idea is another wonderful, simple vessel for me to share through.  Coloring pages, simple poems, and now an alphabet of insights and quick thoughts…!  I’m really curious to go through the alphabet at least once!  I’ll offer an insight on something that spontaneously occurs to me that begins with the current letter.  I’ll post one every Monday for 26 weeks!  Thank you for sharing along with me – and for all of the insights that YOU have all shared with me as we’ve gone along! 
So much love!
Chris

Here is the first one!!!!!

A is for All or Nothing:

What if all or nothing is another way of saying flight/flight or freeze?  All or nothing comes out of a mind afraid of lack. If I perceive that I lack safety, I must manage that danger.  And if some part of me identifies food, money, another person or anything else as HOW I can get safety, then I grab it, hurry after it, or shut down and protect myself from the absence of it.  All or nothing has nothing to do with inner guidance that is free to move in a world of wellbeing.  It has everything to do with the mind’s misunderstanding of life.   Life, infinite as it is, IS a vast more-than-enoughness. And so are we. Right here. Right now. As we are.  As part of life, wellbeing and enoughness is what we ARE.  When we know this, we can stand balanced in the center, listening to natural, inner direction instead of acting on panicked extremes of how to get the wellbeing that is “out there.”

I magining the future, I
T ear myself in a thousand directions of IF.
Re-imagining the past, I
A nchor myself in muddy “truths.”
In either direction, I
L eave myself. Over and over I
L ive in a a
H azy fantasy of fabrication, with no
A wareness of the
P resent and its
P eace. But here, in this moment, all my
E nergy is
N ow. Available.
S imple – without the endless, complex details to
I nvest in.
N ow. Available. Simple. I sit on the
T hrown of presence. Whatever it is that I am is
H ere with this
E xtraordinary
P rivilege of witnessing miraculous movement
R oll through me, as me – this unique
E xpression of Infinite Life.
Seated in this
E xquisite place of seeing, I am truly home, held, in the
N exus of formless and form, love and its celebrations. I
T hrum and pulse and revel in the very aliveness of experience itself.

Thrumming with you, seeing with you, loving with you here in the present moment,
