Time Is On Our Side

Earlier this month, the groundhog didn’t see his shadow. We got a reprieve. Six more weeks of winter. “What? A reprieve?” Okay, hear me out. The winter is typically a time to settle into our self and breathe. A time to be. To allow our spirit to shimmer. To pay attention to what our spirit whispers.

So yeah, we’ve got time to be in these shortening nights and lengthening days. There is still time to venture onto the dark side of our moon and rest in the clues and messages found there. We have time. Take a breath. State with certainty, “Show me. Tell me. I am ready.” Because even if we are not quite ready, we still have time. Time is on our side.

We enter a place of quiet reflection. Here we align with our spirit as we listen to the words wafting from our soul. With curiosity we enter the flow that draws us toward the dark within us. With courage we go to those places that scare us. We recognize that sometimes it is the thought of the place that is scarier than the place itself. 

Aren’t you curious what you are so attached to your shadows? I know that I am. Start small. Don’t go to the places that have you quaking with fear. Step just outside your comfort zone. Then notice — the things that you cling to and the stuff you push away. Those are the shadows to explore first.

Ask, what would you tell me? Then listen without any expectations or intentions. The dark is a place of nonattached exploration. A space to learn and just be curious about you. Even if what you hear doesn’t make sense, that is perfectly okay. Journal about it. Create art around it. Just sit with it knowing that you will gain clarity. Sometimes we have to adjust to the murkiness of the dark to understand what it holds.

Time really is on your side. Trust that you will have the answer when you need it. The groundhog knew we needed more time. So we have it.
