Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
makes life so worthwhile no matter how hard the challenges at
times can be.
The last seven months have been very, very testing here; they
really, really have been in my personal life. But the grace that
shines through everything, makes it all right again, there's just a
deep, deep gratitude that no matter what happens. I still get
upset, I still struggle, I still resist at times, but like you say, the
periods between resistance and acceptance become shorter and
shorter. I've been very, very lucky and blessed with a wonderful
circle of friends who've been hugely supportive, and whom I adore,
and from whom I learn so, so much every single day. Friendship
of the heart is just something that I treasure very, very much, and
just cherish. I've also found that a lot on Facebook, and I haven't
been able to participate as much as I would have liked to the last
seven months, because they were just hugely, hugely stressful and
I just had to be in the present moment, attend to every single thing
that was happening.
WIZARD: You've got a lot of friends; you've got over 5,000 friends
on your group page.
TRIP: Wow. Well Maren I want to say that I love your poetry and
it's really sublime, and what's beautiful about it is it brings you
into that space of oneness and grace, and it's just very authentic
and sweet, and I loved it. And I was wondering if you would care
to read one of your poems, because I'm sure people would enjoy
that, or if you don't I can read one of them for you. But would you
like to read a poem?
MAREN SPRINGSTEEN: I would love to, thank you so much for
the opportunity. It gives me great joy to share, and since it was a
gift that was given me, I'd love to pass it on. I was given also very
clear instructions when the inner vow happened, and when it
became increasingly clear that a book had to happen. And
everything came together by itself, like one day I discovered I
needed a cover, and I was guided automatically to a dear friend
Barbara in Canada, to her beautiful website, Barbara McRobbie.
