Winter Solistice 2007
The darkest day is here. Yet the light can only return now.
I found a new appreciation for the Christmas season this year. Seeing all the lights on houses and all the gatherings we’ve had where candles served as the lumination, I feel reconnected to old ways where celebrations of light were heart felt.
Tonight our band plays at The Country Inn. Many old and new friends have come from long distances to see us. Musically I feel ready to let go of my old self and move forward into a new chapter of creation.
In Vedic Astrology the time around the age of 28 is the Saturn Return. Here old karma is resolved and future possibilities unlocked. I can feel that now. Much of my past has been made peaceful and future possibilities are so much brighter now.
Holding on doesn’t serve me anymore. I’m not really sure who it serves, but it definitely doesn’t serve me anymore.
So…as the new moon moves back to full and the season of Winter brings back the light of the sun…I’m ready to go.
PS- Here are some great quotes I found today as I was grading assignments of the students in my stress management class:
““Every stress leaves an indelible scar, and the organism pays for its survival after a stressful situation by becoming a little older.” — Hans Selye
“It’s not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.” — Hans Selye
