Dark to New Moon: Death, Birth and Courage....

This drawing came through as I was pondering the process of making shifts in life. Echoed in the cycling of Sista Luna, and the seasons. The bubba representing birth, Moth medicine is death / change and Gecko's, courage / letting go of the past. 

Engaged with some deeper soul work in the now, I am observing the dance of these forces. As I exhale and release what no longer serves, aligning with a reframe to embrace changes, it requires a letting go of old patterns n ways of being. Does this serve you, community n beloveds, the land still? Or is the birthing of a different approach called for, for higher interests to be met? What am I calling in? Worthwhile questions at this time...

Recently, swimming in tea tree stained (hence dark shades o brown) waters, these questions were personified. As I dived under, it was difficult to see as my body moved through these surroundings, but above I could see a fishbowl lense type circle of light, into which I then arose. As I embraced the metaphor of it all, I began to play with the process. Injoying both swimming the dark and the decision to surface and draw breath. It hit me that this was like physical birth, the choice to incarnate, and mayhaps (shan't know till get there) death, the leaving....

How many times in our lives journeys (in a day??) do we go into these types of spaces? So why not choose to align with them, I asked of my selves? Practice one might say. Being able to be unattached enough to see more clearly where I am at in these cycles. Also with the memory of previous cycling informing. As the saying goes 'this too shall pass'. Basics you may be saying, back to basics then....

Altho I admit it, do like to deeply injoy da belly laugh bits ;)...

Are these the types of basics that can support those who feel strong n deep to embody and live well? I do realize such idea's are not brand spankers, but mayhap it takes rediscovering via one's own experiences to connect with them....

As I continue also daily practices to ground, centre, clear and protect. This seems to be the next barefoot step along.... 

When all may still become overwhelming there is always trusty doona therapy my friends!
