A River Runs Through It

The Revelation Project has been wondrous.   The vantage point from which our team experiences the project is fascinating.  Sometimes there are simply no words to describe what takes place and other times it comes to me in metaphors and so I try to capture it’s gloriously elusive shape. This morning it comes to me as a metaphor of  nature, or an eco-system, a river if you will…

 

In each of us, at our very center is a crystal, clean, beautiful, rapid, force – our life “river” so to speak which feeds the way we experience our world. Our river holds it’s own natural ability to heal, expand, contract, find new rivulets…

Over time-negative life experiences sometimes are so big and strong they have the impact of blocking us- like a sandbag..and over time forms a dam that begins to hold the river back.  By the time we are adults, we have built a dam capable of blocking all of the rivers resources – and so the emotional life experience it naturally flows toward,  dries up ( joy, acceptance, passion, inspiration, love, creativity….) and we feel dead inside.  Most often this takes the form of cynicism and resignation…we might say something like:  ”this is just who I am…”

I don’t think so…

No. no… that is most certainly not who you are.

I believe who you are is a crystal, clear, resourceful, life-giving force …. you are merely “blocked…”

Today the project shows up for me as a way to get the river flowing again…. as a way to un-block the creative, whole, resourceful, joyous,  YOU.  We are all this glorious “force” of nature- here to be what we are; who we are,  in our greatest glory.

Even though you may not feel much like this beautiful lush land I speak of,  most certainly a magnificent river runs through it.

Join the Revelation.

  1. So perfectly said Monica. It’s been just over a year since I did TRP and it is one of the richest, most life giving, experiences I have ever had.

    Many thanks to you for that.

      • Miss you too missy. I think as you move along with TRP you will continue to have different perspectives, as we are always shifting and re-balancing, which brings more clarity. I love your sandbag analogy. xoxoxoxoxo
