Clarity
On Monday morning we had another New Moon. This was a little hard to believe because I felt like we’d just had one – but such is the nature of time right now.
For May I had chosen Integrity, because I seemed to be surrounded by such a lack of it that I wanted to make sure I was living my own life with as much honesty, mindfulness, and conviction as I could. It was tough – there were some choices and compromises, but the sun kept rising.
But things are still muddled. There are turbulent waters all around – spiritual questions, professional questions. I need space to think, but I haven’t really been able to give myself the healthy time to do that.
So this cycle I’m choosing Clarity. I know it’s the thing I need right now to navigate these seas. During a conversation with Laura around my plans, or lack thereof, for the Australia trip – it dawned on me that I’m actually on a kind of pilgrimage. Prompted by the chance to see musical and entertainment heroes, but I also get the chance to breathe. I am flying half-way around the world. Everyone I know will be asleep when I’m awake and awake when I’m asleep. I will be alone and have the chance to really listen to my own thoughts. This made me think of the Australian term “Walkabout”, defined as “a journey on foot undertaken by an Australian Aboriginal in order to live in the traditional manner.” The tradition I’m looking for is my own. What makes Sean tick? What makes Sean happy? Who is Sean when there’s no one to be anything or anyone else for?
I am blessed beyond words for this opportunity, and I really think it couldn’t have come at a better time. So for this next lunar cycle it’s about Clarity – and in keeping with the recent trends of adding a soundtrack to these posts – I don’t think anything is more fitting than this.
