Today I am grateful for the Call to Come Home. I am sure that folks have heard me talk about this before.
The harvest time of the year is the time when I start to retreat from the world and my explorations of other ways and new practises. It is the time of year when I gather up all my shineys and take them back home with me. The hearth and my ancestors call to me, and I remember that the only path I want to follow is the one that lets me feel closer to my family and my roots.
I feel the support of my ancestors standing at my shoulder, offering their protection as I begin the inner journeying that takes me through the winter months.
The last time I thought about this, I felt only the dizziness of the constant circles I walk in - venturing out to try out new and foreign things through the summer months only to find myself back home again in the fall.
dbmyrrha pointed out that the wheel is a circle that moves ever forward. That was a moment of epiphany for me (thanks D!)
I understand that this is my nature, and I embrace it. This year's explorations have brought me some really great insights. I look forward to finding where my new treasures will fit.
