Where is the light leading us?

 

Where is the light leading us?

Sometimes a small gleam of light catches our eye, and that draws us toward it. When we pursue it, it may seem like it is dark and the light was just a blip, a flash, a glimmer. It can be elusive, just like when we are googling a subject and we get bits of what we are seeking before we find a whole vein of pertinent facts. When the cloud cover is heavy in the sky, we can see the moon glowing behind it, and until there is movement, all we see is a light spot behind the clouds where it peeks through a bit until the clouds move. Where is the light leading us? Every fall, the trees show us how beautiful it is to let go of what we no longer need. They say farewell with a flourish of colors and then reveal the sturdy frame of the tree which will be what supports next year's growth. We are like trees when we let go of old habits and grow new ones, as one season flows into the next. Trees do not choose whether or not these changes will come, because as long as it is alive, this is its life pattern. However, people can always choose their next growth pattern. It is always about priorities. How many times have we said we want to learn a new skill or technique, but keep choosing other things ahead of that? Every time we choose we are showing our priorities. How many times has that back burner had that same pot or pan sitting on it, waiting to be fired up? Free will and our choices serve our focus. When we align our choices in service to our focus, goal or vision, spirit will give us signs to affirm that we are on our best path. With the arrival of the Fall Equinox, each day becomes a bit darker now, and the light becomes quieter, making it a beautiful time to go within, within our place where it is warm, within ourself where we can explore our spirit. Our spirit is seen as our aura, which some people feel rather than see. When we tend our spirit, it nurtures our body and mind at the same time. What do you need to know or do to stimulate new growth in this coming season? What quick fixes are needed? What longer term changes need loving attention over time? I always love hearing from you, so if you feel like sending me a note, calling or coming to see me, please do! Have a wonderful day!
