What if every creation is an invitation into love?
The next time you get an idea,
Notice Love’s invitation.
How loving would I have to be to honor this vision?
Ask your heart this question,
Then get quiet.
What if —
This idea was sent
To help you heal and heal
To help you:
1. Love yourself
Enough to believe your worth
Transcends the perfectionistic standards of your society
Enough to honor your efforts,
Without reducing them to your “results”
Enough to be kind and loving to yourself
Throughout the process of making
Instead of cruel and self-negating.
2. Love the collective
Enough to believe
we want (to receive, support, and uplift) you.
We want to learn from you
We want to experience the ripple effects
of your expression.
Just as it is.
We want to resonate with your creation
This resonance will return us to a oneness
So many have been made to forget.
3. Love the divine
Enough to not only channel the wisdom that flows through you
But share it
To help create heaven on earth
to surrender to the mystery of not knowing — how, why, when
to refuse to hide
the gifts you are here to provide
Re-enchant the World
I believe in magic.
I believe in an enchanted existence.
So much colonial, capitalist, and patriarchal effort has gone into disenchanting the world.
Re-enchanting the world will
Grow collective joy, liberation, pleasure
Re-animate our relationship to earth and spirit
Reconnect us to our bodies, and each other
Replace the obsession with white-man-made technologies
With something more loving and generative.
Love is enchanting
All the lovers know this.
Everything is brighter in love
More dazzling, more profound
Your creation wants you
To find the magic in all of this.
In fact,
Don’t take it from me —
Invite your creations speak to you,
What do they say?
These are the whispers of love I hear in my own:
Will you love yourself enough to be willing to feel embarrassed, annoying, be judged or criticized — in order to honor your vision and voice?
Will you love the collective enough to be generous? To share loving wisdom beyond the desire for approval? Will you love the collective enough to believe in the highest possibility in terms of how it/we might receive your work (with love) vs. the lowest (with cruelty)? Will you help co-create collective utopia? Or hide from your gifts in fear?
Will you love the divine enough to honor what seeks to be expressed through you? To honor the humility of what is true to your soul, rather than the egoic desire for perfection, recognition, or approval?
A loving reminder
There will always be more
Words you could have said,
Edits you could have made,
Exceptions you could have laid out, but —
Don’t reduce yourself to all you could have said,
it betrays the wholeness of all you did say.
Don’t define yourself by all you could have created,
It minimizes the generosity of all you did create.
with love and gratitude,
Ayanda
