What To Make of These Days...

What to make of these days?

There’s the question.

What to make of these days.

These days are:

·        Wonderment: I mean, pure delight! So much to be grateful for. So many days were spent in abject poverties. Poverties that kept me in this place of constriction that forced me to simply hold on

·        Willfulness: no other word for this but: ‘Gumption’! I mean, pure orneriness. To the core, soul grit. Grit that swells up and will not allow chicken bones that you swallow to choke and cause you to sputter

·        Welcome: there is this sense of openness to the day that before I’m not sure was present. I’m not really clear yet on how to describe this. For it’s not the prior and previous naiveté that drove my decision making process. This is more like: ‘Bring it on’! Kind of thing. This is a kind of soul embrace of whatever happens to either stir the pot or fall into the soup kettle I will accept and then figure out how to either spit out…or turn into a key ingredient

·        Wishes: my wish list keeps growing! Dreams and Dreamscapes and imagining new landscapes and building new personal, planetary profiles have expanded. This is something that I did not see coming

·        War Room: this is very present. I see (how can you not see these things?) what is taking place in our failing nation-state. I notice people dizzying and toppling. I see this as the spiritual battle of our lives

So, this holiday season brings you to the precipice of a new year. You simply must become aware that life—as in your life—is going to change in radical ways.

Prepare yourself for these sudden and swift upheavals. Learn to swim in these new ponds.

Cherish This Day!
