November Light

In the United States, we turned our clocks back one hour today. That means it’s lighter in the morning, but darkness comes earlier in the evening. Honestly, I love it when its still light out after 8 pm at night. But this is the nature of seasons. Two thoughts came to me about change.

First, with the darkness comes an opportunity to give our minds and spirits a chance to rest and rejuvenate from all the plans and activities that fill our days. Every night we have that opportunity when we sleep. But we don’t have to wait until nighttime to give ourselves that opportunity. As I work upwards of four hours a day on the third book of my spiritual fantasy series, I have to remind myself to create space in my day to just be and breathe.

Second, even though it may be dark, you are light. When you encounter darkness around you, whether through greed, injustice, manipulation, or deceit, offering your light to the situation, even from a distance, can bring about change. That change may be so small that you don’t even notice it.

Amidst this change, I believe that the space you create for yourself opens the door to grace and inspiration.

May November be rich and full of such for you and your loved ones.
