Flying Solo

 

"A mind that is stretched by new experience can never go back to its old dimensions."

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Flying solo can be both intimidating, and exhilarating. Any time we are removed from our comfort zone, choices fall upon us that may be uncomfortable. There is safety in staying where we are known, but when we experience additional personal growth, there is a need to move forward and often times, alone.

Flying solo is not limited to a physical experience as much of the work is processed mentally and spiritually. If we want to know who we are or more of what we can be, it stands to reason that one must step away from the familiar. Taking flight, the blustering wind moves what we no longer need, and the elevation allows new views to be considered.

Flying solo is a matter of accountability. We must accept responsibility for our journey and be willing to experience new landscapes. If delays are being triggered by turbulent energy, we can recalibrate.  The most vibrant element is choice. We are in control and if we are not satisfied, then discover new flight patterns. 

 

Illumination

 

"Don't worry if you're making waves just by being yourself.

The moon does it all the time."

Scott Stabile

The full moon in May is called the Flower Moon which celebrates the return of flowers in the spring. As with every full moon, we inventory all that is ending to make space for our new beginnings. We become defeated if we plant new seeds in ill-prepared ground. It is time to weed out what is not taking root and plant our intentions into fertile ground.

In the power of the full moon, there is energy to sort out what is not resonating within us. It is time to let go of ideas that have grown stagnant. Fresh ideas and new adventures are moving towards us as the month unfolds, so preparation needs to be made. Change unfolds in creative thoughts, not in old stagnant thinking.  

Change is an ongoing process. Although it can be like a bolt of lightning, it often takes its time needing to be nurtured. The Flower Moon is a time for weeding out heaviness to enhance our chances of moving forward in carefully placed steps. A full moon shines on our progress, illuminating what works and what does not.
