Greetings and salutations. This morning, with the eclipse happening, I was prompted to do something different.

This time, I wanted to experience the eclipse as a personal integration of myself. Not often do I take the opportunity to examine my ordinary human activity as a cosmic event, but I took this eclipse as an opportunity to do so. To spend time in quiet reflection of the heights and depths of my life experience, looking at those eclipse moments.

I considered my reactions, to the experiences, the cycling of so-called darkness and light in my own life. Those places where the light in my life has been temporarily affected by darkness and how I responded to it. Surprising, how I had grown during and after those times of darkness in unexpected ways. I contemplated on how we, as human beings, try to hold back the dark, “the unknown” by desperately trying to hold onto our static experiences.

I chuckled because sometimes static experiences may feel that we are able “To Live In the Light,”  when in fact, it is by consciously embracing our own natural cycles of darkness and lightness we live fully, adding a richness, depth, and meaning to our lives by revealing the Light that would not be there otherwise.

While doing this process, going through the cycles in my consciousness, that of light to dark then cycling back into light once more, I did a simple ritual of release – considering and in some cases naming, those things in my life that may be ready to change or that I need to let go of in order to receive the re-conceived Light. I then had a quiet, yet an internal moment of a high hot shout, where I stated to the Universe “Come on Something.”

I am looking forward to next meeting perhaps it will be a meal and/or cocktails, but it will, of course, contain Life tales.

Love and Hugs
