“The power of taking a stand centers us in something larger than our own life starring us. We start to realize that we have been “given” life and that it’s a gift.
When we use our life as an instrument or vehicle to accomplish something greater and more noble than our own wants and needs, we find a place to stand that ennobles every action we take, liberates us from the prison of our identity, and turns our life energy over to service and contribution.”
~ Lynne Twist in a Spirituality & Health interview – read the full interview here.
What are you willing to stand for?
To stir your inspiration with a few evocative questions, have a look at these recent Sophia’s Children posts:
There’s a rich trove of other Sophia’s Children’s posts on these explorations, too, or ask me about the Identity Essencing sessions or audio program to delve more fully into these questions.
Jamie is an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the way in these chaotic times.
When she's not tending and stirring the Sophia's Children cauldron, she's following research trails, and serving as the Director of a Repro-Justice-oriented women's health center in her community, emphasizing in-person compassionate care.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, an intrepid walker and feline-tender, and is passionate about the current power and relevance of reclaiming ancestral-wisdom and tending to genea-line-healing. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps.

Just this morning, as I was praying, journaling and using tarot cards to help me dig up my inner wisdom, I was twice given this message: Take A Stand. I’m not sure how you found me, but I am so glad that you did. Your blog here is alike a much needed glass of clear sparkling water. Even the art speaks to me. Way back in the early days of my blogging I used primarily Pre-Raphaelite art with my posts. 🙂
I’ve gone through and read several of your posts…I think I could spend an entire day here.
Thank you, Grace. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed browsing so far. I found my way to your Wild Pomegranate blog by way of NadineMarie’s post on the loneliness that can mark certain paths, and also resonated with the theme and Wild Pomegranate name … an so on. 🙂 I really do appreciate the pre-Raphaelites, among others, Plus, the Feminine imagery to help communicate the themes and stir different parts of the brain back into action! Lovely to connect.
