London Winter Solstice 2015

21 December 2015, Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.I see it as an opportunity to see where I am at, to embrace what I´ve been through and then, to be able to offer all the learnings with poise and grace.

Oh London, this year you have washed me, rinsed me, torn me down and built me up again. You have given me the space to learn, you have taught me to speak up, you have shown me my vulnerability and my whims. You have made me feel raw emotions as well as offered me immense support and have opened golden doors. You have taught me to grow out of my comfort zone, and have shown me that protection makes me stuck. You have opened my heart still in the middle of torment, and have shown me that even in the dark there is still big expansion. You have frozen me in the cold and pushed me in the massive crowds but have also taken me to feel your green fields and listen to the song of your robins in my window. You have taught me patience and forgiveness. Oh how many things I have learned from you so far.

My relationship to the whole world is changing. My skin is shredding off and like the snake, I have learned to attune my inner ear to vibration in order to find out what is around me and where I need to go next. My eyes see differently, my heart beats at another rhythm. You are teaching my spirit a complete new repertoire of songs.

In this the darkest day of the year, I bow to the darkness, I embrace the light. I hold onto the beauty of faith and let go of the rest. At the end of it all, we are left with love, and hopefully some laughter. London, I will learn to laugh more, this new year coming up. I deeply honour you. Thank you.
