Empathy is in the conception and eagerness is in the anticipation of the blooming of a new economy. There is watchful waiting for something completely new and unknown, but wholly desired and expected. We are awaiting a new economy that respects all life forms, new technologies that will enhance all of life, a new spirituality of wonderment in solidarity with all creation that will attract life and increase cosmic awareness. The old ways are falling away, the scaffolding is buckling, the shell is breaking up. Inside the cosmic divine birthing of the ever ancient and ever new is already incarnating in me.
Ave Maria, bold forerunner of human potentiality welcomes the divine birth in the unwelcoming, unwilling-to-say-yes world. Out of the blue, a crack has opened in the rough texture of my ordinary daily life. A crevice appears in my private world making a grand public opening for the expanding universe. An unexpected visitor from another dimension arises before me, surprises and bewilders me. A stark fear suddenly inhabits the house of my heart. Why look with favor on me, an insignificant, unknown woman with no great relatives, no status in the social hierarchy, no power in the political realm?
The angel nods and draws me to the heart of all being who bids entrance and asks to blossom, to conspire and dawn. "You will bear a divine son. The wholeness will plant a seed that will transform you and the world. You will be the container of the uncontainment. The divine passionate energy will envelope and transform you and the world."
