The Light Breaks In

Musing…  

The diminishing of daylight as we move towards winter can be resisted by some;  it can appear as if all is dead around us.  Can you hold onto your inner light of creativity, having confidence that you are simply at rest, gathering your energies/inspirations for an upcoming spring?

Kate’s Turn:  

I LOVE this quote from Wendell Berry….”By the expenditure of hope, intelligence, and work, you think you have it fixed.  It is unfixed by rule.  Within the darkness, all is being changed, and you also will be changed…and yet,  and yet the light breaks in, heaven seizing its moments that are at once its own and yours.”

When life takes us into a 90 degree turn, perhaps an unexpected apparently dark time, we must hold fast to our inner light, and hold our angle of perception to include the dynamic shift that is taking place beneath the surface within us.  Our light, by virtue of the fact that we are alive, NEVER goes out.

Get Fired Up:  

Embrace the growing winter darkness.  Light a candle each evening to remember your inner light that leads you to new growth and expansion.  Jot down any sparks of inspiration and allow them to gestate during this dynamic dark time of rest.
