The Unspoken Year

As December quickens before releasing, I’m taking a small moment to catch up with myself … to bring all of myself to this moment and place. To breathe more gently into my body and ponder the unspoken of 2024. Whilst not a huge fan of ‘Christmas’ and what it has become in the outer world, I have grown to love the winter solstice and its inner enticement. Edging from the shadows of the seasons, towards the light and its reflection, I’m prompted to ponder: what, for me, is yet unspoken in 2024? What has been silently happening in the background of the year I have lived? It is surprising the perspective which can emerge from a quiet moment such as this.

Letting the unspoken become a contribution to our year enables the background, or deeper well, of our experiences to voice themselves. It adds a richness and layering – the emergent nature, using time to softly ‘push’ something into our awareness. As we observe the natural cycles of reality and nature (and of a changing nature, at that) we, in observing, become ‘outside’ of the reality … and ironically, more present. This has enormous value, as it places us within a sense of opportunity … which will be a necessary skill for ‘the times’ ahead.

The ‘background unfolding’ – or journey – of 2024 will, in some way, be fascinating for all of us. Even if we can’t see it yet. It will be holding magical intention and timing. In the meantime, and in answer to it: what do you see as requiring your attention … the subtlest attention and acknowledgement?

For as with all things, lightly and with ease, is best :)

Wishing you a beautiful solstice.

Love,

Delilah

PS. Winter solstice is on 21st December (at 9.20am UK time).
