Meet Ruth and Believe in the Impossible! Overcoming the Fear of Being Homeless.
Fear # 1. Will I be able to afford a home?
Earth is a perfect ground to face your deepest fears.
When you are ready - they will begin to play out right in front of your eyes, frame by frame, on the screen weaved from the magical fabric of space and time.
In your mind space - everything is happening all at once and seems overwhelming and scary, but here - you can have a more linear experience.
Sliced and served to you slowly,
like a well-known classic dish that you are failing to recognize when presented to you in a new way, deconstructed, linear, each component revealed in due time.
The first person I met during my divorce process was a girl who was already divorced and left with nothing and then, when the time was right, he tried to take away her 4 children. I met my biggest fear. Literally.
And so it begun.
One by one, they were served to me slowly,
so that I can get to know each and every one of them..
5 years later and here we are, many of those fears are well transmuted and long gone - others are ever present, still playing out their part.
This spring I decided to take a risk and stop doing things that sprung out of the seeds of my fears and instead - to follow my heart.
Immediately, I met a very dear woman who doesn’t have a home and lives in Mt. Shasta, sleeping on the streets and parks in the summer and in good people’s sheds and garages in the winter months.
I call her my Blue Jay Lady -
for her piercing baby blue eyes. She is soft, kind and timid. She would never ask for help.
I happened to be there when she got lightheaded from not having any food for quite some time. That’s how we met. She is so shy. I seek her out every time I am there to make sure she is doing alright, and whenever she does need help, she is still super apologetic for accepting it. She tells me mostly sad stories, about how people asked her to leave their place. When she says she is alright - I don’t believe her. Her body language speaks the truth.
Fast forward to the end of this summer, a summer which I spent intentionally doing precisely what feels right, unapologetically following my divine purpose - exploring this beautiful world alongside my children, nurture them, take good care of people who cross my pass and connect to my immediate environment through hands on learning and read, have time to read whatever I like!
And a new person has arrived.
Meet Ruth, who sleeps under the stars, travels the world on a tiny social security check, has everything she needs in a single backpack, and makes the impossible - possible.
