Counting Down to Solstice
It's almost Solstice!
I am so looking forward to our annual "big dinner" and hoopla.
When I get to rolling today I am out to the grocery store to buy the makings for a couple of cheese cakes. With a pit stop for refueling at the liquor store.
And then all I have to do is look forward to tomorrow night.
Ahhhhhh.
I want to settle down to deep thoughts and pondering of this turn of the Wheel. But all that I can think of is the gathering of friends and how much the Big Guy and I will enjoy tomorrow night.
But then again ... what can be a deeper thought than that?
I'm pondering Zero for the Solstice. The tarot has called back to me and I am spending time with it again. And started in a structured way be revisiting the cards. It is fascinating all the meanings they've taken on that weren't there when I last spent any amount of time with them (it's been the runes for me for many years). Each card is taking on meanings that are tied deeply to my spirituality, which is pretty much a new light on them (sometimes shadow on them). Oh, there were spiritual aspects to all the cards before, but the connection is deeper now. I like getting older!
Solstice and the Fool. That's where my renewed studies have taken me this past week or so. Zero as the place we start from, return to and begin again from. Wonder and curiosity and reckless abandon. Which is the doorway to Wisdom and holds its hand, both balancing it and keeping it from becoming still.
I tend to go still too easily. Here's to the Fool, teasing me and daring me to take his hand and step out. I am reminded I don't have to know to what. It is simply about the stepping into.
Anyone want to take my hand?
