I do belong here, my tribe do exists, there is a great power than us people, love will win out in the end… These are some insights that came to me as I stood on the sidewalk in front of my office building in NYC on Monday, August 21, 2017.
Much of my efforts lately has been spent on job hunting for a more fulfilling role with responsibilities that incorporates my passions, finding ways to create a sanctuary in a shared apartment and finding things to do that I absolutely love so that I can connect with others who share my passions.
At times I feel I do not belong here. I struggle making deep lasting connection (Astrology lovers I have Chiron in the 11th house in Aries) and feeling accepted as me, the authentic me. I am grateful to the few I have connected with, I so love the laughs.
On this day, for the first time in a while, I felt a sense of relief regarding the issue of belonging. I felt like I was part of a tribe. the moment I had my first view of the eclipse with a borrowed glasses, I knew was part of tribe eclipse.
At 2:30 pm, I logged of my computer at work, pausing my online viewing of the eclipse. As I got in the elevator to go downstairs I thought " I might be one of a few watching the eclipse outside but its okay, it should not be missed". When I got to the lobby, I was amazed at what I saw which made me giddy. I then joyfully walked outside to a sea of people in the side walk.
With the political upheaval and unearthing of hate going on in America right now, I said to myself, we are going to be fine because the power greater than us is now in charged. Like the moon blocking the sun from the earth, there will continue to be things great than us that we can’t control and those things should be turnover to that greater power. Our job here is to focus on helping one another, sharing love and enjoying the peace that follows.
The atmosphere outside was enchanting, people were talking and smiling and those with glasses shared with those who had none. I smiled anytime I heard “wow this is amazing”. The passing clouds which occasionally obscured the view of the eclipse did not dampen any spirit, we all waited patiently for it to move. I felt blissful for the rest of the day.
One thing I know is that I will not stop until I feel I am living authentically, and making more heart connections with my tribe. I am here for a reason, which is to have a positive impact in my organization, to the lives of those around me and in this world.
I have a feeling that my tribe will have something to do with that.
