    Invisible push-

    automatic resistance

    before the release.

     

    I learned a valuable lesson recently.  Even when we desire and know that a change must happen, there is an inherent urge to resist.  This resistance can take many forms and it’s important to recognize how you unconsciously fight change.  Like the milkweed seed, we cling to where we are, even though we are meant to fly in a new direction.  Learning to recognize  your own tendencies to resist change and  overcome them is something that can only make your life better.

    Self-importance fades –

    Divinity radiates,

    connecting us all.

    Changing everything –

    Time separated from life

    unexpectedly.

    Just a reminder that none of us are guaranteed a certain amount of time.  Make the most of the time you are given.

    Egocentric judge –

    Like a battering gale that

    wears away at our past.

    Expedites seasonal rest,

    New dreams created.

    While winter certainly brings challenges, with the shortened days and cold temperatures, it is also a time of rest and renewal.  A opportunity to slow down our normally frantic pace and give ourselves the chance to relax and organize our space and ourselves for the upcoming year. Whether it’s cleaning a closet or setting new goals, it’s a time to concentrate on clearing the way forward on our road through the new year.

    Sunlight and shadow,

    Necessary opposites,

    Create life’s balance.

    It seems that we are supposed to a life filled with nothing but happiness and joy.  That this is the ultimate goal, the thing we should constantly strive towards.  Believing that we must achieve happiness as a constant state of being can lead to feeling of failure.  The reality is that not every day is a happy one.  We all have those days/weeks/months/years that leave us battered, bruised and broken.  Without the shadows, we are unable to appreciate the light.

    Drawn from molten pool

    Formed with movement, breath and fire,

    A new self created.

    Cold oppression falls away.

    Light and hope blossom.

    Interwoven spines,

    Protected isolation,

    Arid Existence.

    From dark ground skyward,

    Latent beauty emerging,

    Ruled by warmth and light.
