Deep Calm

In the wee small hours of the morning I woke up with words echoing in my head. I tried to ignore them and go back to sleep but they wouldn’t let me. So I roused myself and put them as a note in my phone. At 4:44 a.m. these were the words that felt so profound.

The world feels like it’s running faster and faster and I can’t help but wonder if the antidote is deep calm.

When I read these words in the light of day, they don’t feel nearly as deep and mysterious. But when something wakes you in the middle of the night, you pay attention

Heavy with sleep and halfway between wakefulness and dreaming, they feel momentous and heavy with meaning.

Deep calm.

What does deep calm feel like?

How many people experience deep calm in their lives? Ever?

What do these words say to you and how would you benefit from deep calm?

With deep respect and gratitude, I acknowledge that the land on which I work and live is Treaty Six Territory; traditional territories of the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people. My deepest gratitude and respect is extended to the original stewards of these lands and it is part of my mission through my work to help settlers who have forgotten their place in the web of life to situate themselves appropriately so they can be in right relation with the world. 

I want to acknowledge the deep wisdom I have been entrusted with through my relationships with Indigenous teachers, family, and friends. The insights I share have been shaped by their generosity, guidance, and lived experience, and I do not claim them as my own. 

I offer my deepest gratitude and respect to those who have shared their knowledge with me, and I commit to honoring it with integrity, humility, and care, while consciously and continually learning how to best share my gifts in service to all creation.
