Solstice Musings

Just a few musings to commemorate this seasonal moment. The header image was taken about two years ago at the old place. The snow is noteworthy. I was watching something on tv today where a character said ” It is just beginning to snow. ” I marveled at this synch, because snow was falling out my window. Keep in mind, none was forecasted for today. It took me by surprise, for an instant. Then I re- membered that I live in a quantum universe and no – thing is everything. All bets are on when 3d reality is purely an illusion. I took in the moment, longing for more.

Pluto transiting one’s natal 12th house may seem like a constant Winter Solstice.  There is so much darkness with just a twinkle of light.  Some of my clients have been wondering if they may have Seasonal Affective Disorder ( SAD for short ). It is easy to feel sadness when we have less clear access to light. We are made of light but darkness seems to be the main focus in recent years. I do not know what to make of these times. I relish the beauty and love as I experience it, wanting to hold it tightly. Yet I know it must be allowed to flow.

Remember ascension? It seems the thought leaders and teachers rarely mention it anymore. Why is that so? I was watching a film ” The Family Man “ starring Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni. It is a Christmas film about alternate timelines for this former couple. It is heart warming and sad, a real  tear – jerker.  The first scene is dated September 1987. I recall this time easily because it was around the Harmonic Convergence. This was such a time of promise. Did humanity truly go awry or perhaps the evolution of consciousness has experienced a significant delay. I am hoping that we are still on course. Maybe we need to come very close to destruction in order to course correct? Drones in NJ, governments collapsing all over the planet, time speeding up faster, what am I missing? At least no one was eating the dogs and cats!

I admit that my attitude has been less hopeful, but this may be my default setting. I stumble when my brain cannot figure things out. But it does not stop me from doing good in this world and striving towards peace and contentment.

Perhaps this solstice feels more poignant for me this year because it seems to encapsulate the collective mood. Is it inauthentic to live as if all is still well? I set the intention daily to create my day, along with gratitude practice.  I persist despite my mood, state of health, or news of the moment. I persist because I do not want my life to be wasted. I assume this is one of many incarnations for me, but I do not have solid evidence of this. I am pleased that snow still does its thing, that the new and full moons show up, and that my lungs continue to process oxygen into carbon dioxide. Why should we take anything for granted?

I do not have seasonal affective disorder but may have incarnational affective disorder. So many people proclaim this is a potent time to be on Earth. That we were so eager to come over and usher in a New Age. The Course ( in Miracles ) makes the case that duality is an illusion. Darkness and fear is not real. We can always choose love and light.

I wish you more love and light than you can ever imagine.

Blessings to all, Linda
