Join With Friends

"A friend is someone who knows all about you

and still loves you."

Elbert Hubbard

A new month is opening before us and it will be laced with activities, gatherings, and holidays. We adjust to both time change, and climate change. It is imperative that we completely let go of any residue and strengthen our foundation. It is time to join with friends to be reminded of who we are and how we want to be.

Being with friends can hold us more accountable and reflect our best qualities. We are reminded of what is important and how to adjust our boundaries. Friends stabilize us and offer a safe space to bare our soul. They offer the opportunity to realistically realign our thinking as we review our upcoming changes.

Gathering with friends prior to the the forthcoming seasonal changes, we are able to praise our them and verbalize just how important their presence means to us. We can offer them reflections of their own best qualities and support them while they, too, move forward. Friendship is a two way connection needing updating, refurbishing and praise. 

 

Intricacies of Solitude Unexplained

"He who does not understand your silence

will probably not understand your words."

Elbert Hubbard

There are diverse reasons for withdrawing into one's self.  We might be incubating an invention or visualizing a pattern.  Pulling inside does not automatically signal depression.  If we are pregnant for the first time or if we have unfortunately miscarried, we are entitled to pull in for an intimate experience of joy or sorrow.

There are numerous tunnels winding around in our heads, and which ones we follow depends upon our yearning or our thirst.  One tunnel may be for releasing debris while another may be sterile anticipating an original idea.

We all have a depth to us not everyone understands and it is impossible and frustrating to try to explain.  Visions frequently lose luster when reduced to words.  Reducing intricate steps to enable better understanding might present a wobbly foundation.  There are times the intricacies of solitude  cannot be defined by words.
