A Gift from Mary Oliver
The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth, it can lie down like silk breathing or toss havoc shoreward; it can give gifts or withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can sweet-talk entirely. As I can too, and so, no doubt, can you, and you.
Mary Oliver
The sea is a wonder- a flowing, powerful, fierce and mesmerizing gem that can bring presence even to the most distracted among us. Mary Oliver wisely discovered that the sea is a stark contradiction of wildness and sweetness. We are no different.
Through her writing, there was also a sense of the sea is the sea is the sea. It doesn’t need to shrink or hide: it embraces its “sea-ness” fully embodying every gift that it has to offer, whether a surge forward or a drawing back. It cannot help but show up as its authentic self.
What is your “ness”?
Are you showing up as the multi-dimensional gem that you were born to be. What if you did? What would your life look like? What if you didn’t? Would it change anything?
Consider this…
You have offerings. Things only you can share with the world.
You have perspectives. As you’ve lived your life experiences, both challenging and magical, you have been given a viewpoint that belongs only to you.
You have wisdom. Just like the sea, your offerings and perspectives can be in service of those who need exactly what you have to give.
BE THE SEA. BE BRAVE. BE YOU.
If you are ready to stop shrinking and start claiming your “ness”, I am here to help. I offer a free one-hour introductory session that can be used to unlock your hidden or forgotten gifts and bring their unique wisdom to the forefront of your life.
