Walking the Path to Yule ~ Day 13

Day 13

It was in the predawn hours when I heard the whispering that slowly lured me out of a deep sleep. I could feel myself awaken slowly, but I lingered in that in between state for a bit. That was when I felt a stirring. An energy that was faintly familiar seemed to listen to me as I reflected on the last few days. While I gained a few new understandings, I have more questions now than I had before. That’s ok. It seems to be the way of the spiritual path, doesn’t it? But it was there in the darkness, between the edges of known and unknown, something felt like it awakened. I am not fully sure what it was. But something shifted within me, much like the first proof of life that moves slightly within an egg. As gently as this energy came in and brought me to a place of discovery, it slowly continued on its way leaving a ripple of encouragement that resonated deeply. Words, phrases, images, and inspiration echoed all around me. This time, I wanted to record what swelled up and out of my depths. Bringing myself out of this peaceful state, I wrote the messages that were offered upon my heart.  

Inspiration caught me early today and we danced together for the entire day. It seems that with all of the heavier energies exploring my innerspace, something, somewhere wanted to reach out. I feel that I was offered hope and encouragement. Honestly, I am grateful for this respite. Today has been a day filled with writing, crafting, creating, and connection. From my deepest and darkest depths, I am grateful for the hope and inspiration that fed me today.

What are the things that encourage you as you move through the darker days?

Blessings as you stir within the womb of creation.
