Happy Winter Solstice

Last night before going to bed, I read this in a book and it hit me right in the center of my adoptee-heart:

My child, you were never abandoned. I have always been here, loving you unconditionally. You simply forgot that you are one with the universe. Remember who you are and come home. Wrap yourself in the divine embrace of the moon and the stars.  Everything about you is perfect.

                                                                                             — SPIRIT

 

I read it again and again, feeling it to be so beautifully spoken and absolutely true.

This morning I awoke at 4 am.  Not intentionally, but suddenly I was just awake and alert.  Lying in my bed, breathing, I could feel the sacred energy of the early morning. With each breath I relaxed, allowing this energy to seep into me, and at some moment I realized this was not only the energy of morning, but this was the energy of the solstice, breathing something new and fresh into my body – something alive.

Inspired in this mystical moment, I turned on the light and wrote in my journal!  I felt I just had to. I’m pretty certain Spirit was coming through me in that moment, so I decided to share what I wrote with you:

Happy Solstice!

Some moments can be challenging. The mind can be dark; the perspective negative. But if I just wait a little bit – pause, watch, witness – the wave shifts, my feeling opens, and a new perspective comes. My soul is always right there waiting for me. She’s so happy when I find her again. 

The body is amazing. It fights to survive. It seeks balance. Nature is beautiful. Harmony is the universal law.

The ego is a small-me that sees itself outside of this perfect system and therefore, somehow, outside of nature itself.

From a larger perspective, it doesn’t make any sense.  Nothing can be outside of nature itself. Yet, it seems to make so much sense to the ego. Me me me. Such a compelling point-of-view.

My body is the earth, my soul is the sky reaching toward the vast universe. My divinity is the star – the source – from where it all began and where it will all return. Someday.

I choose to live each day with gratitude for this magnificent mystery.
