January can look like a sacred pause a place to exsist in deeper connection to ones self, call it hybernation or deep reflection. Reinvention is not always what's needing to be done, pushed or powered through, but reveals itself in those quiet moments, pause.
Recharging for Spring, allow feelings to flow like the January thaw, each breath you are becoming. Sacred pause between your breath.

We breath and find the healing between one breath and the next, the ceremony between one day and the next. The edge of time between night and dawn. The moments when actual change and reflection are possible.
If you can find the pause between the breath, you can heal. You can learn to enlarge time, find choice, repair old wounds, start whole. You make more space to live in. You enlarge, find meaning, understand.
Without contempalation, without pausing to look, listen, and feel out the meaning of things, without purpose, we get lost. The passing of time is just the passing of time. All we can do is watch.
Contemplation is the lending of purpose, the finding of meaning. The participation in being alive.
It is the space between words that makes things into phases, sentences, understanding. It is the pause of reflection and intention that draws lines and makes sense of things. It is the space beneath the surface of things from which we live.
Under the superficial is the more of life. More love. More energy. More hope. More health. More breath.
If the moving of one year into another means anything to me today, it means that paused breath, the suspiration, the sacred rite of exhale.
