A New Year, New Endings and New Beginnings

This is the first day of January, 2023 and as much as I have tried to get away from the Gregorian calnedar New Year, I still find it built into my subconscious as a reset point in the cycle of the seasons and my life. Perhaps, this is just a matter of being in tune with the collective unconscious of the world around me ad I just naturally begin to think about puttig things behind me and starting new adventures at this time.

Putting aside the pondering of that particular subject, I find I am left with two choices: continue to proscratinate and put off my plans until “x,y and Z” have come into perfect alignment and conjunction; or I can acccept where I am, how I am feeling and follow my instincts and do what I feel I should. Well, one of my goals is to start listening to my own intution and inner guidance more…so that is what brings me here today.

Now, I realize that it has been ages since I sat down at my keyboard and wrote a post to let it fly free into the world, and at this point I am not sure if anyone is even still interested or will read this. But…this is not about that, this is not about beating myself up for what I didn’t do, it isn’t about lamenting the things left uncompleted in the last year or time missed. This is about following through, allowing myself to be in a place of acceptance of the feeling of a fresh start and setting the coarse I want to take.

I rang in the New Year on an internet call with a dear friend and mentor who is on the other side of the world. This was really a good way to ring in the New Year. It was a nice respite from the busy holiday season that had just come to a close. We spent a couple hours laughing sharing stories, and talking about what we want to bring into being as we move forward into the future.

Now, 2022 has ended and 2023 is just beginning. This is something I have found I have come understand deeply. Every ending brings a new beginning and every beginning is heading towards an ending. For some, this may seem Nihilistic, however, to me it is very hopeful. It means that even though we will have to let go of things, new things will come into our lives as well. It also means that no mistake hangs around for any amount of time because everything eventually comes to an end.

So, here we are again my friends, and I will try my best to be consistant , as this is as much for me as it is for my readers.(which I hope I may have at some point) I cannot garrauntee that it will all be high quality philosphy but I can promise that it will be as real as I possibly can, it will be truthful and authentic to where I am in the moment that I am writing it. I look forward to sharing with you in the coming year.
