Okay, I'm going to get a little esoteric here...
I woke up in the middle of the night (not an unusual occurrence...) and I heard what is known as the Taos Hum, which lulled me back to sleep. As I was journaling this morning, I wondered if the Hum was Mother Earth communing with Mother Moon, who is waxing toward fullness right now.
There is a relationship between our planet - Mother Earth - and her natural satellite - Mother Moon. The moon influences the waters here on Earth, and many things were done by the dark of the moon, when the moon was full, or during the periods of waxing and waning, particularly in regards to early agriculture. Modern biodynamic agricultural practices still honor and use some of those early practices.
When I look at the world today and what is going on, I see a breakdown in human relationships, much like there is a breakdown in natural relationships in some areas of our planet.
Building, and - more importantly - keeping, relationships is not always easy. And some relationships should not be built or kept because of various incompatibility issues.
This past year has been one of both building and keeping relationships for me. I'm building relationships in my new home and job, and working to keep relationships where I came from.
I've also chosen to let go of some relationships - those that no longer serve in my life.
Relationships, even familial ones, take work on both sides.
What have you harvested in the area of relationships this year? Where are you going to focus your energy in this area next year?
November is the month where we honor our military veterans and where we give thanks as individuals, families, and as a Nation. Some of us also honor those who have gone before us with the Day of the Dead celebrations.
Gratitude is the theme for the month. We will talk about developing rituals related to giving thanks and expressing our gratitude, as well as Thanksgiving itself.
I welcome guest bloggers for this theme as well as for December's theme of Celebration. If you are interested in posting a guest blog, please contact me at maximize.beth@gmail.com.
Until next time, Namaste!
