Grounding + Becoming
A Soulspace Wisdom Cross-Pollination
Listen for what is already in you, the seed within reaching toward sunlight
What I need for the terrain ahead seems to be mysteriously sprinkled around me days, weeks, months, or even years before I need it. There is an inexplicable resonance—a knowing that doesn’t conform to my linear timeline and context.
I recognize it.
Wisdom cannot be known with the mind alone; it animates within me. I am known, and I know.
And still, I forget.
Practices draw me back to the center. I return. I drink deeply. I remember.
There is spaciousness inside to keep going.
Follow what draws you.
Notice what stirs.
What is recognition like for you?
