Welcome Disruption # 68

Welcome Disruption

Disruptive forces are all around us, constantly.
When our world order is disrupted for what we term positive we call it miracle.
When it is disrupted in the negative we call it tragedy.

Disruption is another name for dissolution, the creative force that permits the new iteration. Operative on the cosmic and relative level symbolically portrayed in the dance of Nataraja.
The panca krityas, the five acts: something is always being created, maintained, dissolved, concealed and revealed.  How do we mirror? How do we cooperate or fight?  It is in the fight that we cling or avert and in that suffer greatly.  It is in the cooperation that we dance and are fulfilled and in that we experience joy.
Meditation is the invitation to increase our ability to cooperate.  Daily steep in the source of creative disruption.
Transformative power lies underneath the issues expressed on the surface of life. Transformative power lives in the elusive language of the transcendent. We must go deep to hear, to touch, to taste.

Walter Brueggeman says, “poetry opens and doctrine closes” listen to the poetry of your heart.  Open, commune in the silent potency of the word.  Meditate not as some doctrine pledging allegiance to any grouping, organization or teacher but as the means that permits your highest voice to be heard.  Rich language opens the divine to our everyday existence.  In that there is both poetry and love.  

The world needs you.  To most efficaciously offer your gifts, each one needs to learn a practice of authentic meditation and the theory that supports its growth.  In that there is both poetry and love.

Begin your New Year by inviting your poet voice.   The world needs you.
Meditate.
