INTERCONNECTEDNESS

Have you seen the movie about Benjamin Button? Do you remember the scene in which everything from going to the bakery, catching a taxi or stopping to talk to someone… was so incredibly interconnected? While I don’t remember all of the details, I do remember thinking each and every one of our lives are connected in that somewhat haphazard, yet Sacredly Divine manner.

It was as if, for a few moments during that scene, we were given a Cosmic view, a Cosmic perspective of all of life. It most definitely brought up, for me, the 3 wheels involved in casting a Sacred Contract chart. Sacred Contracts is one of the New York Times best sellers written by Caroline Myss back in 2001. I read it when I was dispatched to a nursing home in 2001 but that is another scary, difficult, yet amazing thread in the tapestry of my life.

Sacred Contracts literally saved my sanity at a time in which I was completely unable to access the Cosmic view mentioned above. Instead, I was trapped in 3D hell, attempting to live, instead of die, a life that was totally beyond any reason I could fathom. Today, I am slowly yet determinedly, releasing my ‘need to know,’ need to have logical or even illogical reasons for some of the most unexplainable, outrageous chapters of my live.

At that time, I was trapped in a body that would not cooperate with my brain in nearly any way. There were two ways in which I had some minimal control over my life. My speech and my intestines were under “control.” The rest was as if there was a complete disconnect between what my mind ordered my body to do and what it would actually do. In fact, I was so literally spastic I could not turn pages to read. I practiced for months with crappy magazines, ripping them to shreds. When someone finally brought me a copy of Sacred Contracts, I was absolutely delighted that I was able to FINALLY turn the pages, one by one with an ease that had been totally unattainable for well over a year. To this day, the quality, thickness and feel of those pages is something that is treasured as much as all that I have learned about Archetypes in the content of the book!!

Back to interconnectedness, there are pieces, glimpses, moments and people in my life that seem to surface in one place for one apparent reason or purpose and who can years later, form part of the most interesting interconnected spider web. When I sit back, observe these occurrences, I simply marvel in admiration and awe as I watch events unfold with a grace, ease and curious humor tickling me beyond belief and even more, beyond reason.
