The days are growing shorter now. It's hard to tell, but sunset is getting a bit earlier every evening, and sunrise is getting a bit later. As the days shorten, I tend to find myself turning more inwards, looking more at myself, and thinking about my "stuff."
We are on a journey, here in the Middle World. That journey is never a straight line. There are twists and turns in the path, and sometimes we feel that we have diverted in some way; but rather than think of difficult times as diversions, consider that they are still our path. The path is sometimes easy and sometimes hard, but we are always on it, putting one foot in front of the other.
As I feel the beginning of the period of shortening days, and feel the cosmos affect my own body and soul, I begin to notice myself on this path of life. I begin to take stock of where I am, and where I want to be, and what I want to consider in myself.
As we work with the Spirits, the Spirits work on us. Part of showing up for the work is allowing ourselves to shift, and allowing the work to shift us. If we don't allow ourselves to change, if we don't engage in our own change, then not only do we stay still on our path, but we do not become the practitioners we can be.
