Well Welcome Back.. here we are already with the March winds ruffling our hair, party favors still in our pockets, and still a little dizzy, perhaps a tad bit woozy from all the dancing, flirting and rousing left from frolicking with February! Now that Cupid and Eros have had their dance and left us all a bit dazzled, it's time to grab a hold of ourselves and get back to our agenda's and responsibilities as Spring is skipping around the bend, making her way back into our lives. Yes, it is true she brings with her basket's to tuck into your apothecary for the Alchemical now in process. The stirring of seeds, hints of manifestations are hanging in the wind, but for now we are to sort out, organize and put our affairs, homes and what ever concerns us into the best order. Dormancy left us a myriad of hints, a beautiful cornucopia centerpiece highlighting our mantel as a thank you gift for his long stay, too long if you ask me, but I won't ruin his good mood as he whistles his way meandering just over the hill mingling with the sage and picking a few daffodils to tuck into his pocket for his beside table.. We, However; are now put to task to set aside what we shall call to order and what we will step aside of. You may feel a bit of trepidation, but ferret out those dusty dream books of yours, stop admiring those glimmering walnut shelves that hold what used to be your prized ambitions. Page through to see if one of your former passions, or past aspirations may be worth taking out for another more accomplished spin! Say with it absolute conviction this time! Instead of making a wish and sitting back in your comfy rocker, reclining, let's go a whole new route! Think Create! Let's get a story board going, for me it is more of a magical looking scrapbook, but there has to be a lot more than imagery, flights of fancy and visualization this time around Dear Readers! Grab a stack of magazines, pictures of what you truly desire, and snip and glue till the stars are peeking in and wondering what in the world is going on in your house? Let the paper fly to all corners of the room till your story finally comes together and you can see it everyday. It will lend you focus when you are feeling off track trying to fix your worn out compass. Just for the moment, lets not put all of our energy into visualizing magic and positive affirmations, while they certainly do have their own distinguished parts, do keep in mind, that for now, we must go into the root cellar and see what it is that we set aside to get lost in that tired old cellar because we simply gave up, or gave out, more to the point. Yes, you may have put ideas, perhaps some of your Dearest hopes, and a few dreams, on some out of the way shelf, but I am here to tell you it is not over and done, under that moss covered box or what ever you shelved, it is quite probable that germination was taking place. Remember Dormancy paid us a visit and had us looking over our archives and old photo albums, giving us a tap dance and singing ole lang zime. It was so easy getting caught up in old familiar smiles and beloved gestures, revisiting our fondest memories, glitter and confetti floating in the air above us like a dragonfly on a sunny Summer breeze mesmerizing us, his charm was intoxicating at first, after all it did distract us from all our worries, and the Crones with their pots of toxic anxious worry we fear will over take our sound minds. And by the way, not all Crones are up to mischief and dire secret inklings.. but that is another post. Back to germination, as hard as it could be to imagine, I am hear to blow a trumpet, to put a conch shell up to your ear, it is quite possible that the germination of what was left in the root cellar could now be ready to bring you a path of culmination! But you must invite your brilliant side out, wine and dine yourself, get out of your own way and get to moving! It doesn't have to be pretty, but it simply does have to be. OK, a little slowly at first is ok, but moving is a sure way to get the fires of creativity burning brightly again. Dance to some of your favorite music while you are alone just to get the hang of it again! It is sifting time, it is ok to march in place if you feel awkward at first, but do make some decisions, pause and ruminate if you must, but not for too long. March is standing in our doorways and beckoning for us to get out of our ruts and routine and to make some definite barking orders to call us out and get us going! Summer will be here with her beautiful new blossoms, Lacey petals and posies soon enough, but for now meandering is over and done and it's time to water the seedlings, mulch, put fresh flowers all over your house, light a couple of candles and most importantly tend to matters that will be evolving over the next progressions of our life paths. If you have dreams you gave up on, think rejuvenation! Go on a self restoration plan! What you feed your mind will bring you what you focus on.. If your focus is on Fear, lack in any area, you certainly do not want to cause that to flourish. Fill your mind and body with good things, bright intentions backed up with good study habits and physical actions that create. Go! Be it the attic or the cellar, the back of the closet .. clear out the clutter folks and find those Dreams and aspirations, dormancy is already asleep in his own place now tucked neatly under his down blanket. He has no thought of us anymore as he is busy in his dream world! It's is time to put out your chimes, sweep out any left over cob Webb's and pull back those dreary curtains and let the Sun bustle in sweeping away stagnation! The time is now, grab your paste, story boards and Dreams and let's get going!
Much Love & Many Blessings,
Your SteamyPhilospher
