Upon the passing of days

On the eve of my 40th birthday, some gentle words sent to me in the mail...

"One should say before sleeping: I have lived many lives. I have been a slave and a prince. Many a beloved has sat upon my knee and I have sat upon the knees of many a beloved. Everything that has been shall be again."

- W.B. Yeats

A calling to Danu

Danu rolls in the midst of never-ceasing currents flowing without a rest forever onward...

"The Rig-Veda" translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith, 1889

Another Year

Even if you don't know what you should be doing or what your mission is, you need to practice creating that vision anyway. remind yourself that before long, the all-creating source will bring your vision into the physical life in ways greater than you could have imagined...

Solstice

It is certainly a blessing to live an aware life.

Most people go about their days without ever taking a single moment to witness the wonders that happen around them. Tiny bits of magic that go unnoticed. In the growing coldness of Winter, I suppose it is quite easy to dismiss the return journey of the Earth towards the Sun and the lengthening of days. It is important to see and understand things that are outside the realm of our perceived daily lives. The world turns with or without us, and whether we honour the changing of the seasons or not, they still change. It is up to us to recognize that truth. And I do. I welcome the the return of the Sun and all the promise it brings with it.

I must turn with the Wheel

A few Moons have passed, and my life has changed in so many different ways.

A time of great transition is upon me. First, there is my child. I am to be a father for the first time and I am so excited, blessed and a myriad of other feelings that I can not form into a coherent sentence. The spirit that the great Source has brought to us will fill our lives with peace, joy and love. I am a lucky man. Second, we have changed our home. With the coming of our beautiful child, the decision was made to be closer to family, so we have left the country and moved to a larger city. I am still adjusting. The un-tethering for all the natural energies has been an extremely difficult process and the readjustment to urban life has been a trial, but I am managing. I just have to look a little harder to see the faces of the Gods. And third (because all things are three), I have a new job. Same company, but a promotion and a raise. Another blessing, I suppose.

So, let there be change. After all, it is the only constant.
