It's interesting. It is a foggy morning, having clearly dropped to 32 degrees last night. As the sun is rising, the light frost and dew are thawing and steaming. I went out for a walk wearing orange, and had to edge far into the narrow shoulder to avoid the traffic.
Fog has certainly been a good metaphor for me recently, because truly, this has been the most mystifying transition for me of all the ones I remember. I think I have relied these last few moves on going "back" to places that perhaps I hadn't completely finished with, but once I re-visited several old places this summer, it became clear that that phase of my life is done. When I make the next transition, I hope the last major one, I believe it will be in a new way, to a new (or newer) place or situation.
However, in an interesting example of the "fork in the road" I spoke about the other day, at the very moment when I am also hoping to upgrade this blog somewhat, the Universe has stepped in with a tech challenge that I'll need to address soon. Over the next few weeks, I may have to focus on the basics and write a little less regularly while I make some decisions...it seems fitting in a way that as we leave the Age of Pisces and enter the Age of Aquarius -- and as I anticipate that I am transitioning to a new reality -- I need to make a change in this area as well. As ever, one of my guiding questions will be, "What would the Goddess do?" "What will be the best solution for doing the work of the Goddess?" Those questions increasingly help me cut through the fog.
