A new year. A simple phrase that has in the past meant for me new beginnings, new aspirations and things I want to change about myself.
This is a double water year in the Dagara tradition so a year to make peace and communicate. I start this year off understanding that I don’t want to change anything about myself or aspire to new things. What I want for this new year is to be peaceful within myself. Accept where I am and know I am responsible for all that has been created in my life. And take pride in that even if there are places that remind me that I am a flawed human being. I think I like being a flawed being. It gives me great permission to be authentic and still grow and move in ways that perfection constrains me.I feel the movement that is created from standing still and waiting for the next move. Like when I dance there is a rhythm that moves my body is a certain way and if I let myself be taken by this another move comes over me for me to notice and enjoy. Like water my body knows how to move and what move is next.
The ending of last year gave me the opportunity to reflect as well as the support from friends and family. The coming year will bring so much and I plan to float on the energy of it all no matter what comes and ENJOY MYSELF. And enjoy all that surrounds me that I have worked so hard to create.
