Embracing The Darkness

This midwinter darkness has been cradling me in it's murkier waters. There is a heaviness of old patterns being brought into the surface. It seems to me that now that I have my safe haven, here in my 'new' home, it is now safe to have a deeper look into some aspects of self I have rather left unnoticed.

It is curious, when truly going after your dreams and starting to realise them, something can still catch your heart in shadow. Part of that 'something' is exactly that: simply a call to be there, embracing that darker side. The vulnerable, the unfinished, the out-of-tune parts of ourselves. There are moments when we really just need to be still and listen to the murmurs of those unheard parts. To be present. To forget the busy roadmap we have created for ourselves and surrender to the mystery of listening.

'' Big questions are called forth. Deep commitments are being asked of you. 

You are setting a new course for your life and the life on planet earth. Choose your priorities wisely. Choose with you heart and womb, that creative core within. Choose in alignment with Mother Earth. Ask for her guidance and support. Together we can heal even the deepest wounds.

Be receptive, be vulnerable, be willing to shift and transform and you will be held and guided through it all. ''

In celebration for your courageous act of simply being alive. Grateful for the beauty of your unique journey at this time, together, on Planet Earth. 

Blessed be, blessed be, blessed be!
