So many feel lethargic , unmotivated , or worn out in this hemisphere.

We are really not made to rocket straight through Winter ,

ablaze with energy .

Look at nature .

The ground , the plants , the animals are deep at rest .

This is the natural way of things .

Spend some time with the long nights , the moon , solitude ,

the bare earth , stillness .

Be easier on yourself.

forgive the unknowns in me…….

inquiry for today~ you are strong enough you know…..

create this unique way…..

When we arrive into the world, we enter this ancient sequence. All our beginnings happen within this continuity. Beginnings often frighten us because they seem like lonely voyages into the unknown. Yet, in truth, no beginning is empty or isolated. We seem to think that beginning is setting out from a lonely point along some line of direction into the unknown. This is not the case. Shelter and energy come alive when a beginning is embraced… We are never as alone in our beginnings as it might seem at the time. A beginning is ultimately an invitation to open toward the gifts and growth that are stored up for us. To refuse to begin can be an act of great self-neglect.
