How can we develop healthy humility?
Passionate curiosity is a start.

In the asking, we engage the other and the ego is checked.

Service is a good middle.

How does it feel when we volunteer our best hours of the week, donate our most valuable items or fund a heart felt cause?

In the end, seek original origins.

Humilis is the Latin root meaning low.

 

By our own choice, consequence, or chance, true humility is often the outcome of experiencing great depth, deep troubles or profound sorrows.

Water, the element of winter, teaches us how to serve all, go underground and spring up when necessary, go deep and take many forms.

Fire – bittersweet https://drsaritaelizabeth.com/fire-bittersweet/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fire-bittersweet Mon, 19 Sep 2022 21:24:48 +0000 https://drsaritaelizabeth.com/?p=3989 Continue reading →]]> A fare the well to the summer/fire season and a teacher along the way. UWA has lost a good one while MSU is gaining some serious talent! The taste of summer (fire) is bitter; the taste of earth (transition) is sweet. Tomorrow we move into the 18 days around the equinox (transition earth season). People come for a brief moment or may stay a lifetime. The taste is bittersweet as life in all of its glorious beauty moves people in and out of our small and infinite worlds. Time is not linear and does not measure the impact of a teacher, stranger, friend, foil or foe. May the force of DNA extraction 🧬 remain ever present in the lab. Do or do not. There is no try. #yoda #theforce #dna #fire #transition #elementwisdomcards

After the fire, the garden https://drsaritaelizabeth.com/after-the-fire-the-garden/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=after-the-fire-the-garden Mon, 19 Sep 2022 21:08:48 +0000 https://drsaritaelizabeth.com/?p=3981 Continue reading →]]> After the fire, the garden. The late summer calls me. it ain’t linear y’all! We weave in and out of the slipstream until we are able to abide in the contradiction of opposition. I moved a monster of a rock today! It felt soooo good! I leveraged and sweated and positioned and sweated and repositioned. I pushed myself beyond my conceivable strength. The truth is that I was triggered. So I dug in deeper and worked it out. I didn’t blame. I didn’t shame. I stayed with the uncomfortable feelings. I’ve done rock work for years. I inherited a garden of rocks and maples, so I spend some of my days in stewardship to the elements of earth and wood. A decade ago, I spent my Saturdays on Rock Crew at Mount Madonna Center. Three years. Moving rocks. Building walls. Building temples under the terse supervision of Baba Hari Dass. At some point, you build your own sacred space. It’s all perfection. Enjoy the bounty. Dance in the fire. Everything we need is already here. All the while, I ask…….Does your yes serve the balance? #fire #earth #5elements #grace #babaharidass #elementwisdomcards #stemwomen #rock #sacredconnection #japanesemaple #landscape #hardscape
