Man, what amazing things you have wrought through your insatiable quest for knowledge to create! Have you become hoist to your own petard? Long have we had artificial light that allows for the extension of our day at both ends should we choose but has that cost us the attunement to the rhythms of nature?
We are now at the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. All around us Nature has settled down. The shorter days have cued our trees to shed their leaves, most plants have ceased to bear and our animals have grown their winter coat. All have moved with the natural rhythm of the season, settling down, slowing down. But, what of us 2 legged creatures? We continue to move at a crazy pace - only allowed because of all the 'conveniences' that give us ability to be active long before sunrise and long after sundown, plugged in and active. At what cost?
Have you been feeling an inner prompting to slow down? Have the cooler temps and shorter days made you long for a warm blanket and soft place to withdraw to, to spend some time within?
December 21 is the shortest day of the year, starting December 22 the days begin to slowly lengthen again, preparing for rebirth.
Give in. Pause.
You have come out from the Universal Mind that created all living things. Tune in to Life. Come into harmony with your inner self, that Higher Power and the filigree of Light that connects us all.
Pause.
