I’m sending good energy, however, to my many friends who I know will be participating. Some of these friends are seasoned activists, while others, like thousands of people across the country, will be taking their first steps into a protest setting. My hope and prayer is that tomorrow’s nationwide event will be a “sacred convergence,” one that facilitates a positive transformation both within all who gather and within the political life of the United States and beyond; a transformation that is deep and lasting.
Last night I drew the Sacred Convergence card when prayerfully centering with Alana Fairchild’s beautiful Rumi Oracle: An Invitation into the Heart of the Divine.
Following is an excerpt from the guidebook message for this card.
Sacred convergence indicates a coming together of souls in alignment with a greater cause. . . . This oracle has come to you because you are part of a great sacred convergence happening now. . . . Turn towards those connections that feel nourishing to your soul, and learn to share yourself without fear. Just be. You do not have to force the planets to spin, nor the great cycles of the soul to happen. All that is required is that you show up for what is offered to you now. Do your part. Take your steps. Dance. . . . [A]llow the gifts of sacred connection to change your world [and thus the world].
