Quiver

On the precipice of something new, something slightly uncontrollable, an aim with no sure target...

There is a hush. A quiet peace. Anticipation, heartbeats, a deep breath. Knowing that of course not all is figured out but that things are okay, for now.

There were other words I planned to write for this month of old anniversaries, favourites, and darkness. Magic and chaos intermingle. Limits are tested and perhaps a deeper, more clear sense of self can emerge out of the strain at the edges. What am I capable of?

But those words don't feel right for this night of fullness; these days of presence and flow in a way I've not experienced in some time. Away from my everyday life - and having just packed most of that life up into two big rooms, locked away until Spring: here I can slow down, start to unravel, untangle, and consider the next places my path will take me. Where I might set my sights and aim my bow.

And until then, I wonder. And wander the beautiful streets of Victoria, BC, in beautiful company.

Many Solstice blessings, and thank you for following along here ✨ My next post will be from somewhere in France, Belgium, or perhaps Macedonia! Time will tell...

"When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order." - Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Laureate
