Dig up the roots
seek out the places
where rot and mold
have taken hold
and clear the viscous muck
from the still living root hairs
allow them to breathe again
drink again
bring in fresh light
and fill the entire system
in this time
in this place
create
remember
express
your intention
What do you want
and why?
Why is this important to you?
What can you commit to
to the simplicity needed
to draw it close?
Happy Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere!!
This is a time of rest and celebration, but also a time when we welcome the returning Light.
Traditionally we treat this threshold as a time to re-assess our navigational direction and course correct where needed.
The reading this month with the New Moon took this a few steps further, talking about clearing the ancestral roots so that the whole tree is stronger and more stable. This new found vibrancy is put to immediate good use in coming to renewed clarity on our intention, our “why”.
Lastly, the Moon asks us to make a commitment of some sort to our goal. What small step can you take in the direction you want to travel? What rhythm does this commitment fit into? Is it a daily, weekly, or monthly practice?
This is your chance to re-write your ritual of living, which we must always remember is a creative choice!
As a holiday gift to you, I have made this post and video free to all when ordinarily it is for paying members only. Enjoy!
