AWAKENING IS PART OF HUMANITY SHINES’ LEAVES ON THE WIND LITERARY PROGRAM.
“Fitzpatrick’s deep reverence for the natural world shines through her poetic tapestry, as she beautifully weaves the elements of nature into her verses. From the gentle whisper of the wind to the radiant glow of the sun, she invites us to witness beauty in every aspect of creation.”
~ Awakening review by “Books that Make You…”
Creator, God, Energy, Vibration, the Magnificent Imagination of the Universe, In, Around and Through all things, all Powerful, all Knowing… all of this is working in mysterious ways. This Infinite Force cannot be fully defined through labels, for it cannot be kept in a box. It cannot be limited or discerned in the mind, nor can it be judged by human standards. In Truth it can only be shared through love, compassion, and faith with Spiritual joy over-flowing and pouring out. These mysterious ways are unlimited and unstoppable. We must open our eyes and ears, our hearts and souls, we must get out-of-the-way and be ready to receive, even those things we do not understand.
Fear not.
I had started my Spiritual awakening in 1997, even before I began writing the Sacajawea screenplay. I felt that what I believed all my life was being turned up-side-down, and inside-out, for my heart was pouring out and filling up. It was painful. I believe Spirit was preparing my heart for what was ahead. Little did I know it would take the next 13 years, until I visited the Shoshone people, to begin to understand their powerful spiritual energy, and the story from their eyes. The essence of the script underwent a significant transformation at this time.
In 2013-15, I journeyed to California to try to get Sacajawea, The Windcatcher produced into a film. It was a daunting task and one that is still ongoing. And during that time, I felt so alone. I had to learn to embrace the lessons I was being taught since 1997. I didn’t understand everything. Yet in the end, I would come to know that nothing was being thrown away, it was actually being ignited to a deeper place. It is a process in life when you long to know the Truth. No matter how long it takes, how many years, it is worth the work.
The words of this book “Awakening” were part of that journey. Nearly every night, starting in 2012, I was awakened at 3 AM with words on my heart that were bursting out. I wrote those words on the back of the pages of my Sacajawea script. Eventually they formed the pages of this book, coupled with photos taken along the path.
I believe this book was written by a Spiritual Wind that had moved me away from what I thought was my belief, toward a purpose I never imagined. It took me to California, giving me an adventurous spirit to search out the answers and the Truth. I discovered that I wasn’t there to make a movie, not yet, for there was a far greater purpose. One of the poems defined the essence of what I found to be true for me. It’s called “True Purpose” through which I realized we make everything so complicated in this world, we get confused and sidetracked, and we try to figure it all out based on things that are unreliable. We forget that the mysterious ways of the Universe are at work for us, and that we can trust our own heart to awaken.
