概要

 I am getting closer to closing on my future home, and I feel like I'm being invited into something much bigger than a property transaction. The sellers have cared for this land with so much love, intention, and respect that it feels less like I am buying a home and more like I am being trusted with a living ecosystem. They have tended to the land, the home, the animals, the bees, the hummingbirds, the deer, and all the little systems that help everything move in concert with one another. It has me thinking about how temporary ownership really is. We do not take our homes, our cars, our belongings, or our land with us when we leave this earth. What we do carry are the memories, the lessons, the awareness, and the energy we create while those things are in our care. I felt this deeply when I sold my camper van, Great Bear. She held so many beautiful memories for me and my dogs, but when I was no longer using her in the way she deserved, it felt right to pass her on to someone who could love her, use her, and create new memories of her own. That same idea is showing up again as I prepare to become the next steward of this home and land. I feel grateful for what has been created before me, and I feel responsible for continuing that flow of care in whatever way I can. On today's Wise Walk, we are exploring what it means to see ourselves as stewards of the spaces, belongings, and living systems in our care, and how honoring that responsibility can create a more beautiful exchange with the world around us. Where in your life do you feel part of an ecosystem and not separate from it?Can you feel how your energy flows to everything and everyone around you?Are you able to offer peace, belonging, and empowerment through the energy you share?Are you also able to receive that same peace, belonging, and empowerment from others?Since everything we own is temporary, what is your relationship with your belongings?How can you be a caring steward of the things you are responsible for?Which belongings still bring you joy?Which belongings have become unused in your life?Where could you release something so someone else can love, use, and appreciate it?Can you honor the memories you created with something, even when it is time to let it go?How is that belonging part of a larger ecosystem that continues beyond you?Where can something you once loved continue to live on in someone else's life?What feeling are you creating through the way you care for yourself, your neighbors, and your belongings?What feeling will you leave behind when you move into your next chapter?Where can you own your responsibility as a guardian and steward of what is in your care?Can you trust when it is time to let go and let something continue its purpose with someone else? I truly hope that you feel supported and nurtured by all the living energies that are surrounding you and that you are appreciating the memories that you're creating while those elements are in your life. I would love to hear what living systems are a part of your life and how they are acting as sanctuaries for you, or what different elements surprised you about this episode and what you took away, so please feel free to reach out and share. I look forward to next Thursday's Wise Walk, In this episode: [05:15] In 2018, I made the decision to be a camper van owner. After selling her, I still get to carry the memories from when the van was still mine.[06:29] When we are stewards of something, but not using it, that creates a missed opportunity for someone else to use it and love it.[07:31] I know the van gets to live on and create new memories with the amazing new owner. [08:27] Nurturing and respecting things we've experienced and nurtured reinforces this positive flow of energy. [10:09] Even though I don't still own the van, I can still cherish everything we've experienced in it. I feel this also applies to my purchase of this new property as I become the new steward of the land. [12:14] I am also the benefactor of how they have guarded and empowered this land and this ecosystem. I feel empowered to continue what the previous owners have started.[15:04] I cared for and loved my past house in the same diligent and meticulous way. [17:27] If we all do the right thing for each other, we won't have a fear of being taken advantage of.[18:38] The legacy of us taking care of our homes and our things lives on and we get to be beautiful guardians and stewards of that thing. [19:25] I feel like everything I've done in my past has led me to find these beautiful sellers. [20:02] I look forward to sharing future memories with these sellers.
