Being Thankful for Aging
December 17th, 2011 | Posted by in Tantric PhilosophyIt’s the autumn season now, colorful pumpkins and squash adorn roadside stands and trees shout their intentions to turn in for the winter. I love this yearly transition, perhaps because I am an early autumn age and the awesome display of foliage is made more poignant as a precursor to the stark elegance of winter.
The feminine spirit deeply understands the natural cycles of life. In reuniting with my innate spiritual wisdom, I will gracefully journey through life’s seasons as I grow into the uncomplicated beauty of winter and it’s wisdom. It is a cycle I can trust.
Author May Sarton expressed the beauty of aging when she stated, ”Old age is not an illness, it is a timeless ascent. As power diminishes, we grow more toward the light.” And isn’t THAT power? To grow toward and be closer to the all-loving Light?
I am thankful for each day that I am blessed to live upon Mother Earth. May I reap the harvest of wisdom gathered from life’s joys and sorrows. May I rest for a moment, breathe deeply, and draw into my body and soul a sense of peaceful gratitude.
