Raindrops, Mabon, and those I love.
Sep. 14th, 2006 08:26 amRaindrops falling onto slick pavement, and people scurrying like rats to get out of it.
Shifting – change, the gift that is ever present in our lives. The wheel of the year turns yet again and I feel the chill of October in the air, even if it is only September. Out come the coats and winter-y clothes. The universal tempo is slowing. After the creatures adjust, it will die down and everyone will begin hunkering down as autumn awakens a different side of us.
I sip my morning coffee and stare out the window. I know my mom will be over-joyed. Rain, at last. She loves rain. And maybe that is why when I stare at the window at our grey mornings, it does not feel depressing to me. And in spite of my love affair with the sunshine, fair days and gorgeous clouds against a blue backdrop – I cannot deny the cleansing, glorious feel to the elemental water that showers us. Cold, brisk, and awakening. This is fall. This is September at its finest.
These are the days that are suited for cuddling up under a warm blanket with your sweetheart, staring out the window watching the drops of water relentlessly bounce against the surfaces nearby. My heart is full of inspiration and I am happy for it.
I know there will be a plethora of people complaining. Whining about what I can only see as beauty. Those poor souls, indeed what they are missing.
I admit the darkness of winter is difficult for me to maintain my hiking at all – save for weekends, and when I get off work for 2 months of the year, I never see day light off the clock.
Though I also know that there is significance to this.
A couple of weeks ago I was feeling reluctant to let summer go. Aren’t we always? I know I am. Today, I am ready for the wheel to turn as Mabon is upon us.
And this being said, I have a very strong urge to get together a group of old friends to do a Mabon rite. Maybe this time of year is endlessly special, because I met the people who shaped the last five years of my spiritual life.
Yes, you. Each and every one of you from the Study Group. Because without one of you, I would not be the same. No matter what trials we’ve faced as friends and as magickal associates.
Regardless of what it appears on the surface – it is perhaps very much unknown that there will always, always, always be a place that no one else can take – in my heart for these people.
Happy Mabon, early. Today I acknowledge Mabon because it feels like that day – that day of balance for me.
