The days grow shorter,
the nights grow longer.
We renew the Light within.
Step outside, infinite sky,
as above, so below.
Ancient rhythms are alive.
Be nourished by your open mind,
daily miracles of grace.
A bird in flight.
The bowl of warm soup.
A smile.
Look ahead…
spin out to future calibrations.
Return, return to the Here & Now.
Fear, apprehension,
desire, yearning, optimism…
traveling the spectrum of speculation.
Root yourself in this moment.
Set your internal compass.
Come home to yourself.
“When we pause, allow a gap and breathe deeply, we can experience instant refreshment. Suddenly, we slow down, and there’s the world.” Pema Chodron
Refuse any qualifications
for allowing your tenderness
in this welcoming home.
Hold yourself precious and sacred.
Sensing and feeling, breathing and
Being: Solstice Reorientation.
“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.” Joseph Campbell
Winter Solstice
December 21, 2018 2:22 pm PT
Cancer Full Moon
December 22, 2018 9:48 am PT
Hours after the Solstice, the full moon comes to fruition. Luminous Cancer Moon opposite Capricorn Sun highlights a sharpened awareness of our needs and the needs of our world. Now we must integrate self nurturing and self discipline. Mercury and Jupiter conjunct in Sagittarius calls for adventure and offers an expansive perspective. For some, too many distractions and wasteful choices. There is a reactivity, feelings run high and righteousness comes easy. People want to be heard. Sincere seekers are ignited. Sometimes it’s all talk.
In two weeks, the new moon is a Solar Eclipse in Capricorn. A rumbling in the foundation.
“Be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world.” Pema Chodron
☽ Solstice Full Moon Reflections ☼
Visualize your body as a tree, your roots planted firmly in the earth, your branches stretching into the sky and your sturdy trunk holding your core center.
How may I hold my own and other’s tenderness with steadiness?
What is nourishing discipline and how may I apply it?
How may I respond to others without neglecting myself?
“Dearest Jacqueline: listening again, alone, was very inspiring and insightful. Much gratitude and love for who you are, within the astrophysics of life, love, intuition and support for me and others, sharing your gift. Blessings, Maureen W.”
