You likely know that when caterpillars are cocooned and busy about the business of turning into butterflies they are not just growing a set of wings and rearranging a few things.

No.  They are turning to goo, a goo in which nothing much remains EXCEPT some clusters of cells they have carried since they first began as caterpillars.  Science calls these cells Imaginal Discs.  Isn’t that a great name?

These Imaginal Discs carry the complete blueprint of a Butterfly and when the caterpillars are wet and gooey enough these discs activate.  They begin to grow eyes that see in color, and a bodies designed for flight, and bright new patterns on their backs. 

That’s what’s happening to you, you’re having your butterfly moment!  Your Imaginal Disks are activating, turning, and you are becoming more of Yourself.   

Isn’t that good to know?

Something happened recently that made me wonder what Spirit would say if I was told, regarding my health, that things didn’t look good and I may not have too long to live.  Before you wonder, I’m fine and it’s too long a story to tell you what made me wonder, but I did. “What would Spirit say?”

That’s what I asked and the answer, I think, wisdom for us all. The answer came, swift and clear:

A Message From the Heart of Love
The Remainder of Your Days

To any facing such a moment, we say with great love, “Now that you have the blessing of knowing you do not possess a seemingly endless number of days, experience each day as you want to.  This may seem obvious advice but in truth, your circumstances — while fraught with the unknown — offer an extraordinary invitation to freedom.

Live by fulfilling your heart’s desires, not as one whose days may be numbered. But as one who has been given an unusual gift of permission — to simply, fully, live as you wish. Not as an exercise, not as a metaphor, but as your truth. 

Your choice must offer you satisfaction. It might be simple a task that feels right in the moment.  Or a simple pleasure like a pause and cup of tea. But the moment the joy of the tea ceases you are asking “what is my next wish?”  There are no “shoulds” anymore.  What do you wish?  Make it so. A nap? Help with housework?  Someone to provide some meals? A journey alone or with loved ones?  A deep conversation. A break from everyone’s questions or needs? It can be mundane or profound, but it must be your certain choice. 

Some have called this a “bucket list” but we mean something even more profound.  Few humans actually know what brings them joy.  This is the opportunity, not the doing of a list of things.  The discovery of joy.

Take full permission in this, being fierce and fearless. Even more, be outrageous!  How true to yourself can you be in taking permission to do as you wish, spending your time as you wish, thinking and feeling as you wish in each moment.  

Let go of any other feelings, ideas, expectations or worries other than those you choose to tend to in your moment.  You can choose to tend to loss or fear, as a momentary choice.  You can feel tender, open… choosing perhaps to weep.  It is all for the moment. Every moment, seeing what is there and choosing.  Your choices, one by one, as you discover the joy of being you.

Do not worry how many or few your remaining days might be.  Give your diagnosis what it requires, when it does.  Know that I n each moment it will be clear what you choose for your body, from among your options.  But give your diagnosis only what is required and no more.  Giving it more would be worry and strain, and a great drain on the energy you wish to have for whatever your remaining hours and days may be.

This has always been the way to live but most do not achieve it.  So we would say to you, fall into the joy and pleasure of living so freely that you do exactly as you wish, how you wish, when you wish, with whom you wish.  Do this to the greatest extent possible. You will surprise yourself. 

Though your days may appear to be numbered, the number still is not known. Therefore, the only choice is to decide within yourself, outrageously, how you would like this moment — or hour or day or week — to be?  And change your mind at any time you wish.

If done outrageously, this approach will put you in right relations within your life, in right relations with your purpose, in right relations to your body.  And it will put your body in right relations with your life.  It is a healing way to live.

All the conundrums are past.  There is only this coming into right relations with the joy of being you, alive and living without regret.  Done outrageously, this will set you right, more than anything else ever could.

What wonderful advice for us all!
Sharing this moment with you is something I wholeheartedly chose to do.
With such fondness,

Article highlights: 

• the art of ambiguity 
• Merlin, with a wand

Most of us grow up assuming that life should be largely knowable. We look for clarity, certainty, plans, predictions. We want the future to make sense in advance. We want the ground beneath us to feel solid.  

Yet in truth, it rarely is.  When we look honestly at the nature of things, we realize that very little is actually known.

Most of what we call certain is instead a set of working assumptions. We assume tomorrow will resemble today. We assume the people we love will remain. We assume our bodies will continue as they are, that our plans will unfold more or less as intended.  

These assumptions help us feel steady enough to live our lives. Without them we fear the ground might feel too fluid beneath our feet.  But events often show us that the ground is fluid and life is a river:

A medical test comes back with troubling results.
A job ends unexpectedly.
Someone we love begins to change in ways we do not understand.
A relationship reaches a crossroads.
A new opportunity appears, full of promise yet impossible to predict.

In truth, ambiguity is our constant companion. It appears in small ways every day and in larger ways at the turning points of our lives.

This is widely known, but rarely well understood.  And so — full of anxiety and questions about how things will turn out — we turn to psychics, experts, authorities. Yet there is a place in us that is knowing itself. How seldom we guide ourselves there.

The great wisdom traditions have long recognized this place. Many of their teachings are simply ways of helping us loosen our grip on certainty so we may enter the Great Unknown. 

Detachment in the Buddhist path, surrender in the Christian mystical tradition, non-attachment in Hindu philosophy, The Taoist ease of living in the flow.  These are all invitations to relax our addiction to the illusion of certainty so we can live more gracefully within not-knowing.  

Living artfully with ambiguity is a vital skill — a quiet superpower — and there are simple ways we can cultivate it.

First, pausing before demanding certainty.
When faced with an unclear situation, notice the impulse to immediately resolve it. Instead, allow the unknown to sit beside you or join you in your walk.

Second, becoming “curiouser and curiouser.”
Rather than asking, When will this be over, or How does this turn out? we can frame our daily lives in the context of, I always know as I go.  I’m really interested in what is unfolding. The wisdom and answers are contained in the unfolding.

Third, keep your sense of play — life is an improv.
Life is far more improvisational than we generally admit. When we approach the unknown with a little humor and creativity, the ambiguity becomes less frightening and more like an unfolding story.

Fourth, recognize yourself for the explorer you are.
We came to earth knowing our maps would have few details.  How could it be different? Your life has never been lived by anyone before.

At the very heart of existence lies a vast and beautiful mystery — the creative force flowing through galaxies, forests, oceans, and through the unfolding of our own lives.

We may call it God, Spirit, Source, the Great Mystery — or simply Life itself.  But whatever name we choose, we do not fully know it.  Because ambiguity is woven into that deepest truth of all.

Ambiguity is a spiritual orientation.  It is the willingness to participate in a universe far more creative, surprising, and alive than our certainties would ever allow.

And perhaps in learning to rest a little more comfortably in the unknown, we begin to discover something quietly reassuring:

The ambiguity we fear is actually the very space in which life is continuously creating itself.

Which means that when we feel lost in the wobble of ambiguity — wondering what comes next, urgently wanting to know — we may not be lost at all.

We may simply be standing where life is still writing the story — where we have much more power than we know.

I sometimes recognize myself there, waving my magic wand about like a child who knows the power of make-believe — but one who is also a Merlin carrying the secrets of gradually unfolding a life that is true.

Looking to the side, I see you are there too waving your wand. And we are giggling.

Playfully,
