Speaking of Journey, I have had this song in my head all day.
“Winter is here again oh lord,
Haven’t been home in a year or more”
Sure, its probably more metaphorical than literal. But as we come out of Earth into Air, it HAS been a year since I’ve been “home”. Air is where I started, as a Libra it is my element, and although I have really come to love what the other elements have to offer, Air is where I thrive. There are a few elemental references throughout the song, and despite whatever true meaning the song has, it isn’t hard to find the references to the different seasons/quarters of the year. “I’m stranded in the sleet and rain, Don’t think I’m ever gonna make it home again, the mornin’ sun is risin, it’s kissin the day” Sounds very much like someone waiting in the midst of the Earth quarter, in the dark of winter, for Air and morning, to return.
So this is where I am. Everything is a journey, and it really is about living each year, or even each week or day, like you’re starting over. The more you hold onto the baggage of the past, the heavier they will get until you simply can’t keep going. Just so long as you keep your eyes in front of you rather than behind, breathe a little and we’ll get through it just fine. I haven’t managed to make a few of the changes in my life that I wanted to make, but overall I can’t complain, and I’m looking forward to what my 3rd year on this path will bring. Stay tuned! This should be an interesting year!
**Edit: I just realized NONE of us posted during February. I hereby deem February did not exist. Thank you, that is all. XD

March 13th, 2012 at 10:30 am | edit I get lonely during the Winter. Which sounds weird, I realize this. I am rarely ever actually ALONE. But I feel isolated during those months. Like I’m Spiritually hibernating. It’s a struggle for me to reach out & connect and do the Work that I had carried on throughout the year. The fact that none of us blogged on here during February does NOT surprise me.
I have always loved working with Air. I think that learning it’s energy & how to apply it helps me a lot during the cold months.
And now I have that song stuck in my head. Thanks for that. :-p
