Into Your Light
By admin | April 1, 2010
The seasons turn in every part of the world no matter what the climate or geography. Some of us must look carefully for nature’s markings at this time of rejuvenation. Others will experience dramatic differences as the snow melts and tender shoots part the wintry soil growing into the light. As the world rejuvenates itself we do as well. We venture out into our own new prospects of growth. We are creatures of nature and we cycle accordingly.
In the winters of our lives, we are introspective. The sun has receded from us so we settle into our ‘caves’ for rest, reflection and dreams. Our hibernations may be subtle, but we, too, move in sync with the dimming light and the dormancy of nature. In these times, we are far from inactive. Our activity is an internal one — we remember who we are and how we work. At the height of our wintry ‘darkness’ we celebrate our spiritual selves and turn our reflections to the miracles of our faith that light will once again return to guide us.
As the earth shifts to lean us once again into the light, spring fulfills the promise of rejuvenation and birth. What we have reflected upon now moves toward realization. Our cave dreams, and our inspirations ‘fished’ up from introspection, send their tender buds into the world with intention.
In the spring of our lives, we act upon our deepest nudgings and we not only do this in our youth, but we become young and hopeful again every year. We come alive as the world enters its newfound light. We sow our seeds and till our soil. We are expectant.
Action takes us into our harvest and our action begins gently. It is a stirring, a notion, an inspiration. There is no hurry and no anxiety toward realizing our dreams. Instead, there are natural processes, rhythms and movement. All comes in due time and if we watch nature closely we see an unfolding and evolving– nature’s own wisdom.
In introspection and self reflection, we listen to our own inner workings — our dreams, inspirations, our own rhythms and processes. In our winters we align ourselves with these so that in our springs we may move with them toward the fulfillment of our dreams. Our dreams unfold in due time if we tend to them, planting them in fertile ground and exposing them to light. They will germinate.
Be aware of your own nature and work inside it to realize your dreams. Let your dreams unfold and nurture them. Enjoy your spring!
