It feels like the torrential rain that we have had recently is somehow symbolic of these times as we move from the shedding energy of the Year of the Snake - as if that rain is somehow washing away all that is no longer needed. It’s annoying and devastating in some areas particularly along the coastline where I have been so sad to see the destruction. These aren’t easy times. Growth never is. Yet I’ve got this deep inner awareness of how important this time is right now. It’s like an expectant pause or a long deep breath before the joy of the exhale and release. It’s a call to the inner fire within us all and the awakening. It’s frightening and bold but it’s happening and the release must come before we can welcome in whatever comes next.
