From light to darkness, warmth to cold, weakness to strength, chaos to calm, and joy to grief; These are the transitions that ignite our path. It is within the transitions that our power lies in wait. Waiting for the shift from sitting to standing to grace us with the gift of it’s power. 

I like to hold ceremony in the transition time of sunrise and sunset. To start when the sun is high, and finish in the quiet of candlelight adds an unspoken specialness, and the magic of transition. To sit and watch the sun rise is to witness the awakening of the Universe’s power. A rebirth of Mother Earth herself. 

I often remind myself of this in yoga class. Its the transition from bent knee lunge rising into full crescent lunge that makes me want to roar like a lion. You can not stay in the same position, place, or pose and get stronger. You must feel the discomfort of the change and explore what it is to learn, grow, and expand.
