There won’t be an obvious shift when it happens. At least not one that we are attuned to.
Not like the rapid descent of light into darkness, casting a shadow across the whole country, that many of us saw during the total solar eclipse in 2018.
And yet there will be a balancing of the light and darkness during the Fall Equinox (Sept. 22 where I live). There will be 12 hours of day, 12 hours of night. This moment marks the half-way point of the “natural year.” It’s a very powerful time.
But, we’re only half-way there? It’s the mucky middle. How is that powerful?
Because it is ripe with opportunity.
The end has not yet come to fruition. If we stop for just a moment. If we focus and pay close attention, we know what’s working so far. And what isn’t. There is plenty of time to make adjustments.
In a way, it’s only the beginning. Considering the first half as experiments with best laid plans, then we actually know what we’re working with now. Detaching from the idea and aligning with the reality. Seeing things the way they really are. What’s actually realistic.
Here’s what I noticed this spring and summer: the more that I aligned to the truth of “what is,” the less I struggled.The trade-offs were less painful, the rewards were more enjoyable.
Life was simply easier.
Life is simple.
And I thrive in simplicity. Not in the complex, complicated, and optimized tendencies I’ve had toward everything, more and better.
Now is the time for change.
As we enter this new season — the second half of this cycle around the sun — What are you harvesting? What have you learned? Knowing what you know now, what will you do differently?
May you allow your true nature to show up this week.
Love,
Jules
