Silence is Golden?

  I haven't written a blog for nearly two weeks and am wondering why. Has the muse gone silent? Is there too much going on to be able to sit quietly and allow the thoughts to flow? Well, no, quite the opposite in fact. I am finding the time between the eclipses to be pregnant with ideas and a gentle unfolding of meetings and events is also taking place.
  The new moon's eclipse of the sun in Scorpio on 13th November had the function of wiping the screen clear in order to re-vision our lives. The full moon in Gemini will be eclipsed by the sun in Sagitarius on 28th November. This will offer us all the opportunity to recalibrate our emotional responses and being in Gemini we are likely to want to be quite verbal about it. This whole two week period is a time to focus on clearing and cleansing in order to think again about the world we wish to create. Eclipses signify endings but it is encumbant upon us to remember that endings create space and open the doors to new beginnings allowing fresh energy in to wash away the stale and outmoded thoughts, actions and habits we have accumulated. 
   During this time I have found the topics of gratitude, appreciation and acceptance have constantly been brought to my attention through conversations with friends, aquaintances and new introductions. Facebook postings, Twitter and Linkedin as well as emails have delivered such messages to me too. I am therefore very aware of the necessity to embrace these three fundamentals in my life and to have them support and serve me rather than keep replaying the broken records of 'if only', 'yes, but...' etc.
   In order to reboot my old programmes I have made time to meditate again and rediscovered that silence is indeed golden and provides a treasure trove of beautifully crafted ideas and ideals to take me forward into the future.
  May you too count your blessings and find that inner peace.
