Human Timing vs. Divine Timing

It is freaking cold out here! No joke, all the sewer and water pipes are frozen and most people in town and the surrounding villages are without running or flushing water and have been for some weeks now. I'm fortunate to have all the fixings (buckets, straw and wood chips) to build a nice clean composting toilet but showers are out.
My ability to take clients and host workshops is officially impaired and all classes out of my own space have been postponed.
I exclaimed my frustrations with the Divine the other day "you wanted me out in Bethel to teach and do this work and I've just hit road block after road block, what do you want from me!!?" feeling defeated and cheated and questioning have I once again impetuously made the wrong decision and should I really be somewhere else, the same habitual thinking that is always so prevalent in my life. I thought of Michael and Kathryn and their arrival at White Sage, how shocking it must have been and how much initial effort, intention and daily commitment it took to clear and balance the land there, physically and energetically all the while having many of their human comforts that they had grown accustomed to while living at DiamondHeart taken away. No running water or a clean bathroom or access to the quality food and entertainment sources they were used to. Their journey comforted me and soothed my irritations of not being able to live the way I am used to and to be grateful for what I do have in this moment. It feels like a sort of fire walk or initiation upon my chosen path, especially since I have been out in the freezing cold day after day placing a special essential oil blend in the wheel, giving gratitude for the leaving energies and visualizing the anchoring new energies into place and of course asking for the cold to break, all done under 2 minutes which is about how long it takes for my eyelids to freeze together:)
The other night I dreamed of an indigenous village, I was pregnant, about 4 months along and I wanted to leave the village to go elsewhere to have and raise my baby. I didn't feel like the village people were ready to receive my child so I began to leave and as a result I miscarried my baby, in the dream it was a big bloody mess everywhere as the villagers rushed to my aid, I desperately tried to save my small child but it was just too early and there was nothing I could do. In the dream I felt like I had the revelation that if I had just trusted what I could not see, didn't act so rashly out of fear and allowed the gestation process to unfold in its natural timing then the devastation and loss could have been avoided.
I understand and see more clearly now that there is a bigger picture and pieces that need to be in place before certain actions, outward community actions can be taken. I honor that and now excitedly move forward with my earthwork assignments until the next step is revealed.
I enjoy teaching my bi-weekly yoga class thru the college and watch myself grow and become a better teacher after every session. For now, I surrender my human timing and the need to know and control and make space for what I can't see and don't know and open up to divine timing.

Blessings, wonderment and joy to you all upon the path unknown and Gratitude for Kathryn and Michael for braking trail and illuminating the path!

Aho.
