We can feel the deepest pain and at the base of that will be a shedding, a release and later an opening into joy. After all, is that not what our soul and spirit most craves, the crazy freedom of opening our lungs to breathe and take the risk to step out into nature and come alive fully in our bodies expressing our vital essence as creation intended when it seeded our soul in a body?
And yet at the moment as the heat rises there can be the feeling of a great burning that our human race is going through, everywhere there is change, decay, suffering, loss, longing and so often, distance.. So we must reach deep and seek those best ways to nurture and nourish our soul in these times finding ways to choose joy as we find ways to stoke our creative fire.
Today I will seek that joy.. I will remember pains of the past are gone, I no longer hold onto any resentment, I see that my life was hellishly lonely and tough at times but perhaps that was just my fate.. There is a way, I believe, to make friends with this, to no longer stand in opposition to it and make that ongoing argument.. There is a way to allow it to deepen and mature us into someone stronger, more attuned and sensitive to others and our deeper selves, more grounded.
As I write this it occurs to me that perhaps that is the current blessing of this New Capricorn Moon soon to be upon us.. and as Venus continues to back track to cross back over the Sun in that sign so deeply connected to earth and our authentic tap root, may we feel the rumblings from the Underworld of the anxiety, distress, or anger that is nothing less than our repressed vital life force longing for air, for light, to find the solid ground of its own particular brand of authentic expression.. Let us be true to that and find the joy that comes as we learn how best to live at peace centered within the point of light that radiates out from deep inside which allows us to steer our life by own unique spiritual compass and personal guidance system.
