You
have passed through the first three realms, of Fire and Earth and Air…and now
you must complete the first triad of the Sacred Four. The Wheel of Life has
turned and so you come into the Circle that is Squared…You need this now, to
take this plunge into the Refreshing, Nurturing and oh so Familiar Waters of
Cancer.
The
seasons of life follow the rhythm of the your journey around the Sun…Four
corners divide your year into periods of greater Light or Darkness, the Waxing
and Waning of Solar Forces and Night Energies. Today marks the Summer Solstice,
and for those who find themselves in the Northern Hemisphere the longest day
and shortest night is at hand…
The
Solar Force has reached its maximum, which of course is for you a herald of
change, you are at “a turning”, and it will soon become apparent that
the next six months will be of lengthening shadows and shorter days…so in
this Brightest of Days, here at the Solar Maximum you need to remember and you
need to prepare…for Winter is Coming.
You
must gather together with you and yours, to help one another, to make your
lives truly secure by caring for one another. This is the time you will seek
within, to Feel your way to your Roots, to re-establish yourself upon the
foundations of your life…to make your way home again, to nurture as you were
nurtured, to pass on and protect what is sacred, to care.
For
some that may mean to draw closer, to be held and to hold one another, to feel
more deeply that bond of kinship within your immediate family, to find yourself
and your meaning within its history and traditions, to feel the close-knit
embrace of those with whom one shares the most intimate of life experiences…
For
some it will broaden and deepen, into the streams of life that encompass a
culture and/or an ethnicity, or more likely a blend of these…and for some it
will widen into that river of life, identifying with a more universal spiritual
or religious tradition that binds one to another in faith and hope…
And
for some, it will broaden still further, to encompass this Ocean of Life and
Spirit, the Life Divine from which all came, where all abide as they journey
through the spaces of Space, and to which all shall someday return and be held
as one with the One…
For this
is where this feeling is founded, it arises within you in such personal ways
with your family, with your “people” or “family of choice”,
through and with your culture or nation or the world…but truly your feeling
of center, of belonging and origin is much older much deeper and more profound
than this…
For your beginning reaches back to The Beginning, of being a spark
of the Divine who lovingly sent you on this Journey of Becoming, but who always
remains within you, as this Presence, this feeling, this knowing that you are and
will always be cared for, nurtured and loved because…because this is who you
really are…
You
are a Spark of the Divine, and this spark resides within the core of you.
You
seek to become more and so fulfill the Divine’s purpose…
But
always and forever you seek to feel the Center, to feel that Familiar Feeling…
Of
Belonging, of being Part of Something Greater…
Of Something/Someone
that will hold you, Embrace you…
Until
the day arrives and you realize, that it, she/he was always there, within.
You
are Home, you are Loved…
You always have been, now and will ever be…
A sparkling Drop in the Ocean of Spirit…
Your true Home…
Abiding within your Heart.
