2014 is winding down..... we are on the count down.....
my grandson is visiting & he finds it immensely humorous that this is the last day of the year.... & it gives me pause to reflect on my own childhood sense of the seasons, holiday celebrations, the days & how they flowed into the year.... & that magical moment when one year turned into another.... i do remember one year actually going outside to see if i could see the old man leave & the new baby arrive.... i remember seeing pictures & signage or decorations of the elder & the baby with the numbers of the given years decorated across them..... i often wondered what became of the old man,where he went, & no one seemed to talk about him as a person, or that no one seemed to give much care to the poor baby after the first day.....or perhaps it was due to the fact of how the infant so quickly matured,i guess being a year or a number does that to these imaginary folks.... & yet.... if we collectively have seen them as such>>>> & it is up to us to care for the infant new year as it grows thru the year..... how we each choose to do this i guess is uniquely up to each of us & how we bid our time & care & nurture ourselves & our time & perhaps these imaginary folks we created to depect the years actually reside in the ethers, as thought forms... perhaps~~~ so i can see this group of old men, sitting around the table chatting about their own personal years' given "accomplishments", or perhaps their disasters... reflecting remembering reminiscing~~ and really who is it that cares for all those little infant years.... & how quickly they shift & change..... & yes it is humanity that creates, & sustains & in turn, ignores the person-hood we have given the years/numbers..... such as it is.... or perhaps these imaginary ""folks of the year"" we have created, are a depiction of how we feel at years end.... the new year is all so fresh & new full of hopes & dreams & intentions & ideas..... & then at years end, as we pause & ponder... we are weary of all that we have been thru during the year.... & really we have the choice in how we view all of this.... old new young aged fresh well used.... whatever.... keep in mind we choose... it is how we envision....how we choose...... so for me personally the year 2014 is marked & cataloged in the files of my being as one of some huge transitions..... yup & all in all they have been good.... 2014 was a year of finding change does no always come gentle upon us.... perhaps does no always come out of the blue either..... i do know >>>we create change, in our own unique ways of being & doing & thinking..... &&& we each adapt & adjust in those same unique ways..... there is an old custom or maybe it is a new notion.... ( you choose) of purchasing a new broom for the new year..... sweeping out all the nooks & crannies cracks & crevasses of your homespace the last hour of the last day of the passing year with the old broom.... & then ceremoniously hanging the old broom outside & using the new broom to sweep in all the goodness & blessings of the incoming new year... as it arrives on the winds of change & the wings of time~ i like the whole idea & notion of this... & it has been some time since i purchased a new broom i also like the idea of smudging at the change of the years.... an intentional action of letting go of the old to clear for the incoming new~~~~~ so as 2014 is winding down & 2015 is approaching... i send you my blessings to add to your own incoming.... may your hopes & dreams manifest in the most beautiful & joyful ways... may the doors of abundance open with ease for you May love flow freely & joyfully to you at all times & in all ways~~~ thanks with deep gratitude 2014 for all the growth & lessons learned.... happy happy newness freshness 2015 i look forward to what you bring my way~~ hugs of love earthdeva/molly ~in the midst of the darkness there is light... in the midst of activity & celebration... make time to rest & be still & in the midst of all that is, there is LOVE! always there is love! choose to be the beacon of loving light ~ brightest blessings to you & yours through the various celebrations of the change of the seasons... ~~ earthdeva/molly I have returned to my own home & earthspaces... as well as my special "woods" ....spent time reconnecting to my spaces yesterday, including hiking in the woods .... this is one of my very favorite past times....i often go to find peace & solace when there has been much change going on for me,or just for the pure joy of being with nature & no matter the season i can always find something i love about nature, what stirred my heart yesterday was the ""bones"" of nature.... the structure of the woods... the subdued colors & yet all the mosses & lichens seemed to glow brightly....it was a beautiful day even tho it was gray & chilly i was gratefull to be outdoors breathing the fresh air, & seeing the sites, smelling the scents, hearing the whispers in the woods~~ was able to accomplish much to clear my plate of 'todos' & lighten my thought process (which at times becomes a bit to active!) today it is raining & even that is good as nature needs the moisture as much as i do. i even gathered a bouquet of turkey feathers on my hike~~~sharing some of the sites....hope you enjoy~
brightest blessings to you~ hugs earthdeva/molly greetings ~~~
so the season will be changing in a few days.... & i can certainly feel it all about... there is always a bit of sadness at endings & kinda excitement at beginnings.... & that is good to be aware of where you may be personally residing with your own emotions.... i have been away from my own home space for the past 2 weeks.... & altho i am enjoying my visit with family i dearly love.... i am also missing my own home space & my kitty boys & my love & all things familiar..... it has in fact been good to step away from all of that, this journey has given me the opportunity to really truly take a look see at what it is i really am going to choose to do in my life.... this past year has been one of huge transition for me..... & change is good.... yes it is..... altho a bit awkward, or challenging or uncomfortable & unfamiliar it is still good!.... & i am most gratefull for the changes & transitions that have occurred in my own life!!!! i recently completed a 5 week course "Return to Self" & i am most gratefull for the time i took to do this work on self/for self as it was most beneficial.... i changed my location & physical environment mid way thru the course... & even that was a good thing.. for it allowed me to really see myself as well as be reminded of so much that i already knew at a heart & soul level, & yes even in my mind....to re~discover yourself in the midst of yourself... healing creative insightfull loving!!! yes a very healthy & loving gift good to get back into that kinda touch with yer self for sure!!!! i have had the pleasure of being with my son & his lovely family...spending time with my little granddaughters....really just the opportunity to spend time with little ones, playing pretending... re~inventing teaching as well as learning remembering & dreaming....some healing & some creating... the opportunity to share the love i feel for them....good stuff for sure!! so i will be returning home soon.... & yes there will be all the whole adjustments that come with travel, & change & transition.... yes it's all good really it is, i have learned over the years things tend to get stirred up where i go... part & parcel of my soul work... really truly it is all good... & it will be good to be in my own sacred space, & yet there will be a longing for those i leave & this lovely space i also enjoy being in.... so different then my own. so guess i will be working on my bi-locating skills ;) brightest blessings & warmest loving hugs~ earthdeva/molly |
