... The New Year ...

We are leaving behind the past and bringing foreward the good things we have learned and the good feelings we have experienced. Many good ceremonies have brought me to this place, this cusp of the New Year.

Birthing into the New Year.... birthing into the New Life.

EMPOWERING

OVERPOWERING

PAINFUL

ESCTATIC

OVERWHELMING

The only way to survive the change is surrender.

May the amniotic fluids of The Mother ... the salt water of The Mother ... birth us into this new year and new life.

I had hoped to have a quiet night at home to pray and relax. However, I was just called (this minute ... this very minute) in to work tonight. So this will be my new year. A small part of me is angry ... the small part of me wanted very much to have this quiet time. It seems this is to be a night of karma yoga.

So ... this is my birth experience ... this is what i need to 'let go into' now.

May this night, be a night of service.

I am remembering, when i used to teach childbirth classes an important teaching point was the surrendering to the moment and recognizing that EVEN THIS is the perfect unfolding.
