The sky is dark in front of me, but light shines through on either side of the cloud bank - sort of that kind of day, isn't it? Actually I appreciate this type of weather - squalls of rain, hail and sleet rolling through, then a burst of sunshine before another downpour.
At last clearing to allow the bright full moon it's escape from the under the blanket of clouds...
The moon recharges us, it brings the necessary light and energy we need to fuel our night time hours and more importantly our journeys after dark. Yet so many pay no attention whatsoever to this luminous planet shining in the sky.
Today, if you can see the moon go outside and walk, spend a few moments in thought and quiet conversation with all you see and feel. It will do you good to get reacquainted with this inner sanctum within yourself.
And if this is something you do regularly, shake up your routine and do it a little differently this time. Take a ritual bath, plan a ceremony and a special meal - we have lost touch with earth celebrations, tradition and rites - in the same way that we have distanced ourselves from our sacred spaces.
This coming year will bring much change - I am looking forward to re-gaining these precious places, we have long been pushed out of our rightful sanctuary and it is time to take them back. Part of having that access will be to use them fully once again.
Perhaps this is a good time to reflect back on the year that was - how our time was spent and to find new ways to carve out moments in these sacred spaces. You will find greater meaning, lighter energy and higher consciousness that you did not even know existed....
