Dear Dream Tending Community,
We stand once again at another crossroad, one at which we are asked to summon our power of imagination, an imagination that embodies awakening stories that both heal and offer guidance. Connecting to the resources of awakening stories opens a generative way forward. This is true in all realms, the incarnate and the imaginal. Deepening relationships with the Soul Companions of our inner and outer communities offers the support we need to co-create a more sustainable world for all beings.
Leading an imagination-centered life fortifies your body, mind, and spirit. Your curious mind opens, and you rekindle imaginal play. Creativity invites both fun and joy into your encounters. This is our time, and the world of tomorrow asks something of us today.
This day, this hour, whatever the election outcome, we are called to open our hearts and find the courage to act on behalf of Elder Stewardship. Together, let’s support one another in fulfilling the dream that our children’s children are needing from us. Fear may be present, yet, love, like a deep well, forever flows eternal.
Warmly,
Steve
