The courage and bravery in slowing down....

How brave you are for slowing down. For not finishing that to-do list.

How courageous you are for not crossing that finish line, because your body said “enough.”

How fearless you are for choosing the quiet of your soul over those voices driving you always towards more.

How bold, how rebellious -
you, out there,
honoring your own natural rhythm,
going against the culture’s breakneck speed.

We tend to make heroes of those hungry with ambition, relentlessly doing, producing always more.

We applaud those who refuse to stop or rest. Who push themselves so hard in the name of achievement, that they sacrifice their body and soul and heart in the process. We celebrate those who are ill or aging but never show it, never slow down, never reveal a moment of vulnerability.

This drivenness can be heroic, at times. It can be necessary for our survival or the greater good.

But,

I want to make heroes of those who slow down.

I want to make heroes of those who listen to their bodies, who do not strive for more than what the soul truly needs.

I want to make heroes of those who do not force or push, but surrender to each moment as it opens.

I want to applaud those who may not be driven towards success as we know it, but instead are nurturing something deep and subtle and needed.

I want to celebrate those brave enough to cease all doing, even for a second, and sit with the ache in their hearts. A task many find harder than summiting the highest peak.

I want to make heroes of those who honor their limitations. Who are unable to keep up with the busy-ness of our times, yet show up to each profound, necessary moment.

It is truly an act of courage and rebellion to do any such thing, in a world demanding you resist your own self, your own rhythm, your own soul.

And the paradox is, that often when we cease our incessant doing, even for a minute, and listen to that quiet voice within, we discover what it is we absolutely must do, and what instead can fall away.

We finally hear the call towards what serves our soul, and what then will serve the world. Nothing more, nothing less.

A hero is simply someone brave.
So come, be softly brave.
Be a new, quieter kind of hero.
Few may applaud, it’s true, but your soul certainly will.

Feels like a relevant reading for this time. Happy new moon xx

New Moon in Libra. Pluto stations direct in Capricorn – The New Moon in Libra is conjunct Mars, quincunx Uranus, opposite Chiron and widely conjunct retrograde Mercury. There is an opportunity for a new start in the realm of relationships, peace and harmony, but we may need to retrace our steps to re-establish balance. Uranus fills us with electric anxiety, anticipation or a mixture of both and the impulse is to take action, charge ahead, leap into the fray, lead the way. Righting wrongs feels urgent but it’s important that we take time to listen, check in with one another, note our triggers, mind our motivation. Change is already in motion and pushing will not make it happen any faster.

Look to where you feel jaded, rejected, angry, stuck, powerless – this is what keeps us tipping this way and that, wobbling on Life’s seesaw. Come back to centre. Ask your heart what it needs. Conquer fear by radiating love. As Pluto stations, this is a moment of release and regeneration. Let go of the dead wood. The truth will set you free.
