I haven't found myself here in few months, now here it is the eve of New Years Eve. Over the course of the past many months Mark & I have been decluttering our space both individually and collectively. The holidays seem to bring more clutter with all the decorating, wrappings and excitement. This week-end we made no plans and the weather cooperated in encouraging us to nestle in. My yoga/art studio had become the central hub of clutter. I felt the need to clean the space and clear out a bit more before walking into the new year. In doing so I came to a special stack. It called for attention. One container was Chad's art. I spent time looking through with enjoyment and came across two empty canvases. I took them over to my art table. I hope I can do them justice. The next container was pictures, news articles, medals and more. I didn't stay long because it can turn into a rabbit hole. The third was full of the cards so many people had sent, list upon list that carried through that time. I felt it was time to let those things go. I wanted a special fire to release it for us, for others. So I went to Mark and asked what his thoughts were and he thought it was the right time. He went out and built a fire , wood from our trees and cedar. I brought out the container and sage from my prayers and meditations as well as lavender, tobacco, and mugwort. We each made our prayers and honoring before slowly placing the cards in the fire. It felt right 14 years, 5 months and 23 days later. We are walking into the new year lighter and freer, open to change and adventure.
