The concept of the sorrow of the world has been dancing in my head and
heart for days. Having experienced it personally and profoundly, it can be
a dark and seemingly endless place to find your self in. What I know to be
true is that the light never shines brighter than when it shines through the
dark. These last days have been a glorious example of that. We have
seen it played out on the national stage and I have seen it in my own life.
As a life long reactionary, I have struggled with the observer’s perch. Oh, I
understood what it is, and I can wholeheartedly accept its necessary
importance. But I have also long believed that my reaction was important.
I bowed up in indignation, I cried, I yelled, I protested, and I resisted.
And most of the time, I accomplished very little other than an upset
stomach and sleepless nights.
The Moon’s radiant light cast a spotlight on a clearing within the deepest forest. Within that clearing, Lilith dances, she capers, she howls, she laughs. A cauldron sits atop a roaring fire. Karma stands by, hooded and cloaked, and implacably bears witness. The spell Lilith is casting is one she has waited millennia to complete and the Trickster part of her is allowed free rein. As she dances, she casts bits and pieces into the cauldron, each one more important and forgettable than the one before. She howls to the sky while laughing hysterically. As her dance reaches fever pitch, Karma speaks at last. Now. It is done.
This long awaited moment has arrived, at last. Prepare to dance with her, relinquishing all you have held as solid and true. The doors open, the past dissolves, the Light is simultaneously extinguished and set alight in perpetuity.

Oh child of mine, give thought to that which you are about to Birth. The road traveled has been arduous and filled with twists and turns. Breathe deeply into yourself and let the wonder of the New arise in you. What do you Birth? What will you hold and nurture and welcome with all your heart? Take a moment today to step outside and become one with the earth. Allow her energy to fill you and surround you. Greet her like the old friend that she is. Can you feel how your perception of separation has changed? You are no longer limited by the concept of Other. All that you are, all that you perceive is you. Welcome your re-membering, welcome the Union. Allow this unity to fill you and surrounded you. “You” are infinitely more than “you”. Embrace this knowing and this beginning. The New Dawn is here.
Oh child of mine, welcome this moment. Though the contractions come hard and fast, what, oh what do you Birth?
