Seasons of Our Life

The Autumn Equinox and the Seasons of Our Life

Ancient Druids, magic and mystery, all seem to accompany thoughts of the equinox or its sister times, the solstice.  Perhaps it is archetypal or an ancient memory of times when our lives were more attuned with nature.  There always seems to be something significant about these passages into the seasons. 

Various groups around the world use these ancient demarcations of time to call for people to come together and celebrate through ritual or in some cases meditation.  Any time that groups draw together with the intention of helping others or healing the planet has a positive impact on the world around us. 

Since energy follows thought, the conscious intention of men and women of Goodwill throughout the planet unite to focus upon and celebrate our unity in the human family and help us realize how we are more alike than we are different. Realizing our oneness as a part of the human family and our bond as we observe the common changes that manifest in the world around us with the changing of the light helps bring us together.

The changes in the light from the Sun and the changes in the weather demonstrate wisdom about life that influences us on a subtle, preconscious level.  As the leaves begin to change, we can reflect upon the changes in our life and the changes in our self as we journey through life.  Autumn often seems a melancholy time to me as we loose length to our days and find ourselves moving forward into winter.  It is often a bittersweet time of reflection.

To take the time of this ancient ritual to monitor the movement of the Light through our lives by a special focus on the seasons of our life, whether through meditation, writing in our journal or sitting by the fire with a cup of tea or a special friend, the autumnal equinox provides us the opportunity to observe and evaluate our lives in harmony with the movement of the Sun and our Planet.

Enjoy this day and celebrate all that you are becoming and all the ways you are growing as you journey through the adventure of life.
