It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness…it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…
~from Tale of Two cities by Charles Dickens
As I thought about this quote, I once again was reminded of my friend Nancy Joy Hefron saying that we live in a ‘both are true’ world right now. Charles Eisenstein calls it the ‘space between stories’. Jim Self of Mastering Alchemy says he sees two worlds forming and co-existing in the same space, one of a higher vibration. Regardless of how it’s described, I think we all sense that profound changes are happening.
The new is emerging yet many people are clinging to the familiar institutions, systems and ways of doing things. If creation comes out of chaos, everyone is doing their part to stir things up!
Lately, I have been tuning into Gaia, asking her how she is feeling. What I get from her is that she is excited about what is going on. Since she sees things from a much bigger perspective than me, I am grateful and reassured. I feel her confidence that things are heading in positive directions and we mainly need to keep our vibration high and each do our part to be in integrity, love and nonjudgment. Not exactly easy sometimes, eh?!
I am so deeply grateful to be a part of relationships and groups that hold a space of love for the birth of the New in its many shapes and forms. Thank you to each of you for your part in this time of transformation!
Blessings, Mary

My beloved friends and co-creators,
So much of the new earth and the new ways of being have been right under your noses all along! Much of what is changing is your vision, your ability to see what was not visible to you before. More people are seeing how everything is interconnected and realizing that they can play an active part in changing things for the better. This is good news!
People are stepping into their creative power! Those who felt like victims of unfair systems are realizing that they can change the systems. There will be resistance from those who currently are in control but they cannot maintain their power when people refuse to accept this anymore.
Accept all of your feelings in their diversity and complexity. Sometimes you may feel empowered and excited about what is happening to you individually and collectively. Other times you may feel deep frustration and despair because the changes are happening too slowly, from your viewpoint. All of your feelings and thoughts matter. Hold yourselves in a space of love for being on the earth at this amazing time. Affirm yourselves and pat yourselves on the back for all the steps you are taking to learn and grow and evolve.
Know that you are not alone, not even for one moment. Know for certain that you are loved beyond measure by your Earth Mother and the angels, archangels, elementals, guides, Spirit Beings and so many of the Unseen Realm. Take some deep breaths and know in your heart that all is well and that you are being held with great tenderness and gentle love. Remain calm amidst the chaos and ask for help whenever you need it.
I love you, dear ones. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend
