One's Shortest is Another's Longest

First, thanks and praise for bearing with me; I've been quite the infrequent blogger as of late. I can blame a lot of it on being in school, studying, and the like - however, I also have to say that I often feel the inward reflective quality of the season, so might just not put as much out there.

And, I'll admit, I don't really care for the trappings of this Season, at least how it's played out on the current culture. I'm all for the 'goodwill to all', just wish I saw more, and that it wasn't so 'seasonal'.

But, no gripes - I'm here this morning because I'm on my 'holiday' and that means in a few short hours I'll board the first of four flights, and on Saturday morning, arrive in Santiago, Chile... It was mid 80s there yesterday. After getting a quick day there, we fly to Easter Island for Christmas. Back to Santiago, down to the Torres Del Paine and the Glaciers, back up through the center of the country and to Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar for New Years.

I'm really excited - I've been fortunate to travel quite a bit, but this will be my first trip south of the Equator. It will also be very wild for me to fly overnight and end up in relatively the same time zone. One benefit of North to South travel, no jet lagging on the hour changes.

Beyond that, the energetics of this are stellar - I love the solar holidays; one of my only sorrows in this whole adventure is I crossed my calendars and for a while, believed I was teaching a workshop on the Solstice... not sure how that works when I'm flying! But, I am delighted to be flying on this day, and to this destination.

On the Winter Solstice, what I've always considered the shortest day of the years, the least light, the greatest darkness, I will be leaving the Northern Hemisphere and journeying South. I will arrive in the Southern Hemisphere on the Solstice, the longest day of the year, the greatest light, the least dark. Heliomagnificent!!

So, just wanted to get back on here, let you know what's up, and to prep you to expect to see some Moais and hear all about my wanderlusting!

Be well and enjoy, it's been a really great year; full of blessing and lessons, gains and losses. I want to appreciate and acknowledge so many of you who have been on the path with me, stopped to support, walked part of the way, or carried me home!

Thanks and praise!!

I Choose What I Must...

When I have lost my faith, my patience, my tolerance and my compassion for one of my fellow human beings; when I have no love for that one, singular person, I must choose to remember:

to remember that humanity, human beings, our collective experience is wondrous, capable of incredible creation and imagination - the source of languages, arts, crafts, sciences, philosophies, cultures, artifacts, heritage and all I have been shown, given, shared with or pleasured by in life.

there is a beauty in our collective-ness - in our non-cooperative cooperation. there is beauty in our feats and failures, efforts and excesses. there is hope, there is reason, there are literally billions of examples of the human condition.

I need to find that grace in myself and in each person.

When I have lost my faith, my patience, my tolerance and my compassion for all of my fellow human beings; when I have no love for all humanity, I must choose to remember:

to remember that individuals, human beings, unique and noble personalities, independent spirits, single drops in our ocean are the source of interpersonal love, friendships, mentors, teachers, companions, inspirations and are capable of creating change, ease, peace and comfort.

there is a beauty in our own individuation - we are never so different as we are similar. we should feel that, we should get that, we should know that being one drop in the ocean both includes being the drop, yet being in the ocean. we cannot be ourselves without each other.

maybe this speaks to you - maybe not... I needed to write it, hear it in my head, see it and put it out there for my accountability. you are appreciated for being part of my process.

thanks and praise!
