There's little more attractive, wonderful, and satisfying than being around women who have something awaken inside them - a trip, a calling, an adventure. I have been pretty fortunate to have spent a lot of time with robust women - even raised by two great ones who I would do anything for - women who have their own dreams despite all of the crazy things they are fed incessantly by our society, bloom anyway. They are unique in a world that is coach them to be like everyone else. How awesome is that? Above all else, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a bunch of very strong girls, you may grow incredibly, have your head lovingly cut off when you aren't being the best man you might be, and you will experience life itself and its vast array of experiences. Like the unpredictable ocean they change and shift by the second, emotions and thoughts swarm...let that help you find your solidity. They are going to test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel that you're immovable, the mountain, inevitably going to be there no matter what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These guiding relationships create you, but if you really deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be intimidated, women can move mountains. They are to surely be treasured.
The dynamics of my life in moving with true feminine energy has changed just about 180 degrees for lots of reasons. But oh how I have shifted within. Throughout the course of my life, I highly identified with strong feminine energy because I had 2 extremely strong and dynamic women in my life - my sister and my mum - who are incredibly driven and proficient in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was little and inclined to hit it off with ladies better than I did with men. I took the best from my father as well, equally as driven, thoughtful, artistic and motivated and became a product of my environment and nurturing.
As I went through the deep chaos of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my angles, my uncontrollable emotions and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado within me that declined to give up. Even on the rare occasion it did stop momentarily, back up it would storm again. Mix that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career ended and a big mess was made. So I crashed like the raging ocean for a while...and ultimately found my way to writing.
But lately this dynamic shifted supremely as the bubbling up of my purpose came to me and I started to read, understand, and practice what strong masculine energy essentially was. This has not only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the great men who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind which certainly has stuck with me for months now, and it's the inspiring concept of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what doesn't change in this world. The undoubtable stableness of being completely grounded in your position, a mirror to life itself, empty and prepared to express your deepest passions and purpose - which is the expression of love itself.
When a man eventually begins to understand this idea, I will tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever occurs around him swirls and yet he is fully calm, planted, and is still embedded in his deepest want. To find your purpose is a great deal more than just what you do for work - it should be a direct leader in your life and will influence your relations, your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up on the planet. It did for me. As soon as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - inner wisdom - integrity - determination through anything.
Women are like the sea. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a moment, a peaceful sea can change into a series of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your miniscule rowboat wondering how the hell you might climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it means to be alive. Why do you actually think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a form of energy that's uniquely feminine and can be accessed. But those waves for men who do not understand what it truly means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked out of the their boat - I can not tell you how frequently I have been tossed out of my little boat or bailed before the wave hit. But give a person a purpose, and that wave actually starts to seem like fun. Additionally, that wave can inspire your most important purpose.
This is the part that has changed my life completely.
Every single day I sit down and write, I am totally driven by a variety of energy that's very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my small chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep down into my stomach as I can. I find that density - that solidity - that love - that emptiness. There's this type of energy that if you focus intently upon it deep enough, it's almost a low frequency lull...that is surprisingly deep and dynamic. A wavelength that really has has existed far before everyone and one that will undoubtedly be here forever after. I will feel it circulate through me sometimes when I am on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or begin to run through the days events - using all the amazing things that adjusted - and get galvanized by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the very same time, I am here, completely grounded in my place - living as if I was already dead.
Fear, in my heart, disappears.
There I am, grounded, in my deepest purpose, absolutely and totally inspired by the women around me and that amazing feminine energy...creating, loving seriously and open to all doubt. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my tapping into both - that has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, changed my relationships, and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I never knew existed. Floods of great people have showed up in my life and I can really see the whole thing morphing, only to know that it'll all change and pass...and that really is superbly OK.
