“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before.
Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant.
Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.
All of this heavy change in doing the internal work, the releasing, the processing, and the transformation can feel exhausting. There may be a curve ball coming in, but in a good way, if you decide to deem it so. Receptivity, as usual, is key!
Next, it’s time for some fun with some wild abandon thrown in there to stir up the energies. Some dancing under the stars, skinny dipping, or singing at the top of your lungs. It’s time for surprises and unexpected gifts. It’s time for not-so-secret admirers and passionate embraces. It is time for a change.
Dust off your Wild One and bring her, or him out to play! Put on your dancing shoes, and your favorite outfit, paint your nails bright purple, and change up your hair. Get out of your boring old comfort zone and try something new.
Don’t stay home today, get out there!
And don’t forget to bring your big, beautiful smile.”
