Dear Mother/Father/God,
This week is an interesting collection of days that we have labeled Holy:
Celtic New Year, Halloween, Samhain, All Saints and All Souls.
An interesting blend of celebrations from the ancient religions
and Christianity mixed with more than a bit of modern marketing.
My intention is to reflect on the core meaning of this sacred time of year;
a time of reflection and anticipation, a time between seasons.
I allow my mind to wander though my memories of those people
who have been a part of my past.
Friends and family members, lovers and leaders, co-workers and teachers,
everyday folk, and spiritual giants.
Some are gone from this realm of existence, others just gone from my sight. I bless and thank them all.
I am grateful for the people whose ideas and presence have helped me find my way. So many decisions, events, people, places, jobs, loves, heartaches, seeming errors
-------------------------
This has been a full day and, strangely, a day which feels like life circumstances are falling into place a little at a time. Each moment flowed into the next with ease. No frustration or head full of the list of things that I must work on next. Instead, a gentle unfolding of a day not wasted, but lived. Days like this one create the retrospective thought that maybe I'm starting to get the hang of 'being' again and adapting to the challenges that necessarily have to be considered, while enjoying the movement through time and fun activities with others, one at a time. This week has been a blend of solitary endeavors mixed with those in relationship with others...an ebb and flow from one to another. Perhaps a glimmer of hope that a new 'normal' is around the next corner? Regardless of what tomorrow holds, today has been a very good day! Halloween 2009.
