The Council

So, this is what adults are like
Listening with the ears of the heart
Speaking from the heart
Being concise,
Being spontaneous
Letting questions arise that open growth for the one next to us
Knowing how much space to take and to give
Trusting it will be just right
Seeing with compassion, with soft eyes
Seeing with eyes that hold the possibilities of each other and the necessity of the journey
Letting be and being with
Co-creating and joining while being respectful, mindful, excited about each individual's creation
Knowing the whole has to hold the parts and the parts the whole - and it cannot be otherwise
Taking in , accessing what is available around us, through us and within us.
Encouraging, being patient, mirroring, acknowledging, respecting, listening for all that is said and unsaid and doesn't have to be said with human voice.
Knowing when completion has happened.
Knowing when space has to be held for a beginning to take place.
So, that's what adults are like.
Looking into each others' eyes without flinching, without protecting, with unwavering love and peace
Diving into each others' souls without fearing depletion or being devoured or devouring the other
So that's what adults are like.
Stepping up fully to that what asks to be revealed, to be promised, to be lived into action - no more and no less.
