Today is day 14 and I am nearly there - just a couple more days to go and I will have reached my goal for this month. Right now I have a sore throat, my voice is nearly gone and I am feeling quite achy -- it might be the cold that the kids had (I'm still in denial however).....
So, today is a new day and I do love Mondays - it's nice to feel like you have a fresh start each and every week. This week is the one we have been waiting for all year - our Solstice celebration is the biggest event at our house - and we are preparing for it moment by moment.
It's not difficult to become a little child like during this time of the year - everything is so exciting. Even the energy in the air is charged with greater good, love and kindness - from the Universe or the Earth herself?
Or perhaps from some distant star further afield where they might also celebrate something special at the same time of year. I often wonder if all the other dimensions and earth elementals also celebrate in the same or similar ways as us.
The sun's Solstice will occur in exactly the same way for them, and of course it is marked in some special way. Today this was our topic of discussion - as we make our decorations and festive art - Do the fairies, gnomes and earth energies have a tree and decorate?
We like to think so...perhaps their party will be far more elaborate then ours with preparations, carried out in sacred space. We have lost the reverence of this season and disconnected from it's real meaning of the return of the light so vital to all of nature (and us).
What we have forgotten is perhaps our roles in the bigger picture, become lost in the shuffle to and from the shops buying things we don't want or need. Instead it might be far more important for our spirits to spend some time with our loved ones walking and connecting to nature or bringing it inside....
After all, we have a party to attend!
