Simply Be




Simply Be...

I celebrate the Wheel of the Year and I purposely left my schedule free today to observe the
Winter Solstice / Yuletide Sabbat. A day of doing nothing in particular but choosing to do whatever I fancy. I slept in, lost in a myriad of dreams, it was blissful. I had my morning coffee, fed my precious dogs and took them out to play in the bright sunshine of a cool morning. I made a lovely pot of soup for lunch and then I sat down to read and contemplate the past year and to anticipate the coming year.
This year's Solstice has a lot of hype attached to it. The end of the Mayan Calendar etc...
The fear or maybe the wishful thinking of some that waking up today would be to a new paradigm.
Well, to my way of thinking we all wake up each day to a new paradigm. A new dawn, a new day - everyday. We can stay stuck in the old or we can leap into the new as intrepid adventurers. There is so much to discover why not start NOW.
The title of this piece is Simply Be, how does that fit with being a courageous human, about to embark on a new and exciting journey you may ask. Remember this, it all begins with a single thought, an intention. We have to define this new path before we can begin.
To do this - Simply Be. Go within, define our dreams, visualize our new life and the opportunities awaiting us. This is "the first day of the rest of our life". Let's make it count.
Let's do something that will make a difference to not only ourselves but also to others.

Namaste
