today I remembered how I used to love (and hate) the early morning hours of November days...especially when I was still working in Austria... leaving the house really early, driving to work and sometimes I had to drive so slow due to the thick fog that surrounded me...some days the fog might lift until lunchtime, but not always...still I could see all the goodness behind it... in a way, that's how November needs to be (at least for me)...foggy, dark and cold...
my thoughts about "November", something I wrote in 2003...
du bringst ihn - den Sonnenschein
erhellst mein Gemüt
machst dich zu einem Monat der Freude
es sind die versteckten Strahlen der Sonne
ich kann sie sehen
da blitzen sie und dort
sie kitzeln meine Nase
wir sollten beginnen sie wahrzunehmen
und uns an der Nebeldecke erfreuen.
and yes, that's what I really like about it - the hidden goodness, the positivity behind things...the sun is always there, it's sometimes just hard to see...
but it's so much easier to only see the dark, closed surface of things and just forget to take a closer look. the look behind - letting the light shine bright!
with my body sending "signs" at the moment, that, well, something is not quite well in the way things go, I slowly start and try to see the goodness behind it...and no, it's not easy to see it like that every day, but I am trying to.
taking more time for myself, slowing my yoga practise down and with that deepen it to really listen to what I (my body) needs right now. I have not quite figured it out yet, but it also needs a bit of patience and trust... two things that can fade in between, especially with the November weather trying to hide things even better ;-)
but I am on it...lighting a few more candles, getting the Christmas decoration out bit by bit, making tea and curling up on the sofa, taking it all in...it will lead somewhere, I just don't know yet...
