Hurricane Anusara
Growing up in a tropical island we would get hurricanes every year. Whenever one would hit, my family would stand against the balcony windows and watch the storm ravage all that was once normal into debris. With a swift fist mother nature dissolved solid into liquid. Once the storm was over we would then venture out and attempt to clear the mess. But as the storm was happening all we could do was wait, listen to the news, be with each other, and pray.
In the last two weeks it feels as if I have been witnessing Hurricane Anusara. Each day more Certified/Inspired teachers resign their license to Anusara. Each day my heart breaks. I have cried and found comfort in so many friends. One thing I have not felt for myself in these last two weeks is gratitude. I have been too busy feeling sad to feel grateful towards this form of the divine that is showing up for us in the Anusara kula.
So today as I stay in for the rest of the day, I will begin to cultivate gratitude for the way the Divine is appearing to us in this particular form. I know that this too shall pass and that each member of the kula will end up making the most life-enhancing decision for themselves. I am not scared. I stand here, beside so many, in the middle of this storm. Drenched in tears, hopeful and aware. I read a quote today from Hareesh Wallis, "Thank you dear Lord for coming in this form." Thank you indeed, for in you coming in this form we become clearer as to who we are, who we are aligning with, what we are aligning to, and where we are headed.
Deep gratitude as I wait for this storm to pass.
