’tis the entelechy of an acorn to become an oak tree…
’tis the entelechy of each one of us to become……..

~

nurturing our nature,
nestled in our nature,
nestled in nature

Jean Houston wrote:
[We need] “to attempt to tap into a symbolic or archetypal expression of the entelechy principle operating in our lives.

Entelechy is all about the possibilities encoded in each of us.

For example it is the entelechy of an acorn to be an oak tree, of a baby to be a grown-up, of a popcorn kernel to be a fully popped entity, and of you and me to be God only knows what.

It is possible to call upon the entelechy principle within us in such a way that it becomes personal, friendly, and even helpful.

This entelechy principle can be expressed symbolically as a god or a guide.

We feel its presence as the inspiration or motivation that helps us get life moving again after times of stress or stagnation.

There are many ways to engage the symbolic forms of the entelechy principle…”

nurturing the precious spirit of becoming,
nurturing the tender process of becoming…….

sometimes, on our own…

~

other times,
in community with others

~

~

~

~

gently supporting and nurturing each other along

~

nurturing
the beauty, the magic, the mystery
of becoming……

~

~

~

may each and every one of us…
nurture our entelechy,

nurturing the precious mystery of ……
“becoming……”
