I woke this morning with the intensity of my heart’s commitment to be with the world. To be without fear. I am so grateful for this.

Opening my heart-space has always meant tapping into collective pain, which long overwhelmed me. Surrendering to this inevitability, embracing the power of feeling all, has freed me - I want my heart to be of service in our hum@n journey. Dedication to our progress.  

I have embraced myself as my safe space, so that I may feel at home whatever the world offers. I have placed my trust in the process of all, and lean into each lesson given to me. 

I now feel held in ways I have long yearned for. 

There is a balance, a dance, between acting & allowing. Neither must overpower the other. Allowing space, and providing presence, shows us the many things we run from. We often unconsciously resist what heals - the process of surrender may feel unnatural, painful or terrifying - this is a sign of need. Wounds which are asking to be healed. 

How long will we silence them?

To liberate the heart from fear is an act of rebellion. 

We no longer need to perpetuate old paradigms - divisiveness, competition, otherness and disconnection. These modalities do not serve us. They have shown us, with painful clarity, what we cannot sustain. This is not our purpose.

Breaking free of these patterns asks daily work of us. Work we must do to survive.

My heart is becoming an instrument - receiving & offering energies, without reservation.  

It is beginning to sing - both familiar & new. As we join, the chorus of our songs becomes rich, reflective and healing. 

For this I am grateful. Thank you.


Motherline by Sonja Anise

Motherline :

Crafting form from formless - breath, bounty & song. 

Origination of Love in its highest form. 

The net created by the linkage of all existence - our infinite source of support.

Motherline is a foundational aspect of the universe. A record of all time & space held within the energy of creation - life-cycles. A cosmic constant. 

Evolution’s journey almost took us - our pelvis couldn’t keep up with the growth of our head & mother ancestors began losing life from childbirth with overwhelming speed. 

All people of earth share the mitochondrial DNA of one Mama whose body could manage. The significance of this is everything. 

We are children of the Motherline - in deep, troubled pain, yet constantly denying her healing embrace. She’s long fought for our existence - it is time to honor hers. 

Many of us, in our collective amnesia, have confused our human mothers with the ultimate source of this energy - the pain we may inherit from that relationship often closes us to the universal Mama. In truth, we are all just people, woven into the fabric of hum@n experience with which we struggle to cope. 

*We cannot hold physical mothers to a higher standard than the rest of the world.* 

Ultimately, the strength & resilience living mothers embody in order to bring new beings into this world, which belittles, dismisses, and too often antagonizes or violates their power is miraculous. 

Let us wake up to the importance of honoring & protecting people with strong Motherline connection, be it of physical form or spirit.

This connection is healing wounds I was convinced I’d have to tend my entire lifetime. She has become my guidance system - I follow her lead, set aside my ego and offer myself in service. I am constantly overwhelmed by her beauty, as well as her pain. Upon opening my eyes, I see her *everywhere* Her guidance is omnipresent. Her voice, the subtle undertone of all. 

To some, she is called God. To me, Mama.

Liberation of spirit comes from embracing without fear. Trusting every process. Tapping into the current of deeper knowing. Seeing the source of pain and working to heal. Opening & releasing the weight of all we’ve clung to, hoping to fill the void. 

There is no need to cling  - we are held. 

Listen - to your emotions, to the sway of instinct, to the stroke of illuminating insight, to the understandings you resist, to the gravitational pull of the things that heal (or scare) you. All are messages.

Surrender - to the painful beauty of our lives, the weight of connection, the possibilities gifted by incarnation. 

Expression of the Motherline does not rest on any one individual or portion of our population. *Everyone* must welcome this energy. Mother-love is accessible to, and needed by, *all*. Each small way we make space for her, commune with her, honor her voice - through ourselves and each other - brings us closer to union with All.

Regardless of our choices, in mother-love fashion, she continues to provide. As is her nature.

Earth, a glorious expression of the power of the motherline, is resilient. She has endured wildness of every type & we are only one of her many different children across time. 

Let us remove our blinders and recognize that it is our own home & family we destroy. Without home, is there a will to live? Not survive. Live. & aim to thrive. As earth-beings, in proper balance. In honor of our place of birth. In love. 

Awaken - to the spiraling of space and time, the infinite expanse of her embrace, the magic we can enact through aligning with her movements.
