Mayan Dream Musings

I am nearing the end of this year’s cycle and already feeling the weaving of next year. Outside it is absolutely gorgeous. We had about four inches of snow overnight and it is still snowing. Everything is white and soft and clean and still. Later we are supposed to have winds but they are not blowing yet.

Today I am recording more Earth Essence music and one piece will be about this snow.

Earth knows change and regeneration. She gave us the beauty of summer greens and vibrant colors in flowers, sky, animals….then she began the movement of Autumn with brilliant reds, oranges, yellows….all turning to the basic branches of trees and the falling of leaves. Flowers and animals leave us or hibernate..with of course the exception of cardinals, blue jays and other birds of winter. For a few weeks we experienced the subtle browns and grays with rains and cooling temperatures…the occasional thunderstorm, sleet, maybe even tornados….then…..awesome snowfall and the gift of beauty in a new form.

The Maya understood this constant change. The calendar that I chant every day in my morning meditation extends through thousands of years with no day the same as any other day. Today is “chalahum baktun, bolonlahun katun, chanlahun tun, holahun winal, holahun k’in, ho, men, ux mak bolon.” and I am part of this day’s energy. Why should I expect old habits, old perceptions, old ways of doing things to work in such a new day?

Several weeks ago I mentioned that I was considering changing the name of my business. The final decision….same name….different energy!

This last weekend was very cool. My 17 month old grandchild visited and reminded me again of wonder, and curiosity, and laughter, and unending vitality. My nine year old granddaughter visited also and brought love and a blooming maturity and new ways of looking at things and lots of energy. Of course these grandchildren drew my adult children back to our home…and for a while the house was bustling with six additional people. I love it…love it….love it!

So….next year….a year of much change and wonder and excitement and fun and creativity. Stay tuned!!
