This time of year endlessly fascinates me with the contrast of the natural call to go inward and the consumer call to run around out there.
I opted out of the consumer call almost 30 years ago.
And this year, because it’s been so warm and we haven’t yet seen our typical snow here in Northern New Mexico, I’ve been more outward-focused than usual.
Last night it occurred to me that I didn’t want to miss the sacred opportunity of this season.
How wonderful to notice that even many beautiful lights are held in deep darkness this time of year. (As seen on one of my neighbors’ house in Eldorado, New Mexico.)
Opportunities I’m noticing:
Waiting in stillness.
Receiving the gifts of solitude.
Embracing long shadows.
Slowing down.
Reflecting deeply into the night.
What about you? What are the sacred opportunities of this season for you?
As always, post your comments, experiences and insights below . . .
Happy Sacred Solstice!
“It is futile — one hundred percent, absolutely, positively futile — to seek love in relationship with anything or anyone.
It is, however, quite appropriate to extend Love in each relationship with everyone and everything. But the extension of that Love requires that you have awakened to the truth that the only relationship that truly holds value is the relationship between you as the soul and God as your Creator.
Perhaps my love affair with nature runs so deep because I see God everywhere, love wholeheartedly and ask nothing.
(Bear Creek Trail. Lakewood, Colorado)
When you have surrendered the last vestige of an insane possibility of contracting away from the Truth, when you have given that up, Love will flow through you. But notice that if it flows through you, it must first flow to you. Therefore, seek always to receive in order to give. For what can you give another if you have not yet received it to yourself?
Am I being busy extending love, or am I busying myself fearfully trying to grasp at what I think can give me love so that I do not lose it?”
– From “The Way of Mastery – Part One: The Way of the Heart,” Shanti Christo Foundation
Wow, so I’ve been deeply contemplating this for awhile. It feels true, and it brings into question all the relationships I love.
Here’s where I’m at today. When I know my Creator first, then I see the holiness, wholeness, in everything and everyone. When I “forget” to know my Creator first, then I’m making gods of the people and things I love.
What about you? If you’ve read this far, I’d love to know how this speaks to your heart.
