Well, here in the Northern Hemisphere we’ve entered into the dark zone of the year. It’s dark here in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada by 4:30 pm (rather than 9:30 in the height of summer) so the days are seemingly so much shorter. I always find these last weeks rather off-putting, even though I know they serve an important purpose. Deep processing of an emotional / spiritual nature always seems to hit me now.
Who am I now? What is most meaningful now? What needs to be pruned or rolled under? What needs to be nurtured? What wants to emerge? A necessary sorting through of things happens at this time of year – even if much of it is unconscious or just under the surface still. It gets clear by the New Year, when the swing towards light and action gets underway again. For now, it’s mysterious and slightly invisible. But I can feel it. I’ll just have to have patience with the process – not an easy thing for someone who likes things visible!
Wishing you all the best as you process your own stuff in prep for the shiny New Year just around the corner! And Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans reading this (us Canadians do ours back in October).
