I sit here early this morning while waiting on picking up my Daddio from surgery (he’s totally good- routine ish), and I finally have a moment to reflect on… so much.
I’m thinking about the scales of the world, the scales of my community, friends, + family, and my own scales. I fall on one side thinking about when did it get so unbalanced and distorted and on the other side I think about how much we’ve all come together and been at each other’s sides.
To be of service is an honor and a privilege, but I’m not going to lie, it can take a toll- especially when not tending to your own scales. You can tip either way if you aren’t careful. Over this past year I’ve seen myself tip both ways - overly serving and forgetting about myself or in some ways, shutting down.
It’s been the middle pillar, my community, that I live in and serve, that brings me back every time. My community isn’t just the witchcraft community, but all humans who crave compassion, courage, temperance, wisdom, justice, and integrity. It’s those that pick up the sword when I need a rest and then hand it back to me when I’m ready that keep me going.
So this is your reminder- keep the balance. If you need to lay down the sword for a moment, we’ve got you; just like you’ve had me.
Stay Sacred,
Meghan
