What are you feeling right now?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 23, 2008:

Nostalgia, along with a feeling of something ending, but what’s left to end?

John Coltrane - Every Time We Say Goodbye - 1961


And a sense of floating in the mystery of not knowing.

Late, by myself, in the boat of myself,         
no light and no land anywhere,         
cloudcover thick. I try to stay         
just above the surface, yet I’m already under         
and living within the ocean.         
—Rumi (tr. Coleman Barks)         



 

And yes, my heart knows:         
Endings are just beginnings         
In another guise.

“Endings are just beginnings…” how true. I feel it strongly this time of year, and maybe especially this year, I’m not sure. New beginnings, promise, opportunity and adventure…

I just wrote a blog post about my strong sense of transition these days, then I found your post. 

 :) 

Wishing you a good transtion into the New Year, my dear friend. May it be a good one!

Ah man Coltrane! I know that’s the place I like to go to be alone, Nice!
Anyway here is some Equinox to go with your Solstice.

Big hugs to you too, dear friend!
