Once a month I find the path to the light increasingly difficult to see.
It may appear from the outside that I am more irritable, more difficult, too much and not enough all at once.
And sometimes that is how it feels on the inside too.
But I also see, with my wisest self, that what I am in those times of turmoil is also closer to the deepest truth.
That being ON and being around others is tiring for me.
That hanging a do not disturb sign and going within is a healthy response for me.
That being a bear that has to hibernate once a month (as opposed to just over winter) allows me to be the fierce protector, tree shaker, creator, I am in the rest of my days.
So ROAR and see you tomorrow when my time in the cave is no longer so necessary…
As an aside I am sure that my consumption of a whole bag of potatoe chips is warranted if I am hibernating for the day right… a bear has gotta have something to come and go on!
