Between Christmas and New Year’s

The miraculous birth has happened, but the new year has not begun. We are in between, waiting for all to become clear. One friend of mine received news of cancer. He is waiting. Another friend reports that from her work with Body-Mind Centering, she is beginning to feel herself initiate movement from her center, her core, and let it radiate out to the periphery, instead of moving first from the periphery and dragging her core along. She is becoming connected and sensing the birth of a whole new way of being in the world. I am exhausted and a bit in shock at what is being born and seeking in all ways I can to hibernate, drawing everything in to conserve my energy for the new adventures I sense about to begin.

The minister on Christmas Day said our challenge is to settle in with the new life, the new birth, and to live, even knowing that this new life will too pass away, will pass through torture, dissolution, and death. To settle with the new and live. I like that.

Blessings to us all as we settle in for the new year and new life to come.
