an aspiration

some time ago i came in touch with a deep drive, a passion that would not let me rest, a creative current that energised me with its flow. this lead me to train as a workshop leader addressing issues of ageing, and ageing with awareness, ageing consciously with purpose and meaning in each day.

one of the tasks i was set as part of this training was the creation of an aspiration, a self-dedication, an intention for my life. i sat with the task, regarding it as a spiritual practice. days passed as the words slowly took form i knew these words would have the power to guide me in my time of re-firement. it would provide the fuel for this energised flow. i have posted it below.

invite you to undertake the same task. welcome in the words that ignite your passion. embrace the energy that seeks an outlet. deepen into its reality and, when you are ready, offer it to your world.

(please excuse the messy formatting of this post. wordpress and i are having 'issues'. hopefully they will be resolved soon.)

i contribute each day to a cultural revolution, a paradigm shift, in order to create an enlightened, compassionate world where ageing is regarded, not as a burden, but as a blessing...
~~~where the older among us are honoured and cared for with respect and dignity…
~~~where the experience, wisdom and guidance of elders is sought after, valued and held in high esteem…

~~~where we all have the opportunity to live full, creative lives, regardless of who we are, until we die.
