Goodbye 2023, and dare I say good riddance!
Laying ahead days linger on the horizon; may they be enriching and harmonious.
From late June to the beginning of December I was presented with one disastrous situation after another, as the year progressed the challenges became more intense.
Seeking solace in nature these past few months did not bestow upon me as much balance and healing as she normally does, reaching a point of defeat, where I simply let go and flowed with the energies coming my way. There is no point in fighting life, as battling that which we seemingly cannot change only emphasises the troubles.
The last straw was having my default email address hacked, thankfully not my google one as I rarely use it. The other is gone, all contacts lost, and stupidly I had not saved regular contacts to the backup google account. Although this wasn't as disastrous as the other situations, it was something I definitely didn't need as I was only just beginning to feel life was calming down.
Why people feel the need to attack people they don't even know shows the sorry stated some of humanity is in. Hopefully karma will catch up with them and slap them.
It seemed as if there was a crescendo building as the year drew closer to its end. As I look back it was almost as it everything was arranging itself to push me to a point of absolute surrender.
Miraculously though, in each situation solutions were always there shimmering on the horizon, although when we are in reaction mode, we do not always see a miracle in waiting.
As a new year approaches, I realise how grateful I am, even for the intense and emotional last six months, for sitting here viewing the situations with hindsight I realise that I have a strength and resilience that despite being pushed to the limits I always come out the other end thankful for making it through with enough clarity to see how blessed I am.
Having said that though, at the end of November I was as close to the edge of breaking down entirely, some of the recent weeks have been somewhat of a blur.
2024 what will it bring with it?
I have a strong feeling it is going to be a more harmonious year, I feel a sense of excitement, so much so it is like there is an intangible positivity that is shrouding me these last few days.
On waking this morning, I ventured straight out into the garden and spent an hour attuning myself to the unwavering gloriousness of our beautiful earthly mother. I appreciated the many feathered beings who flew around me, diving through the spray of the hose as I quenched the parched earth and replenished the drooping plants.
I really am surrounded by such brilliance.
The lessons of Mother Gaia do give me the capacity to see that life is a constant wave of dynamics that weave their way across the earth as well as into all of our lives.
Nothing stays the same, everything is always shifting and changing, and if we are willing to relinquish control and succumb to allow life to flow around us, it will shift chaos into harmony once again...
