As the leaves fall and return to earth, She accepts the Death. I understood it today. Death is Life. Life is Death. The leaves that grew and were green, fresh, and juicy in Spring, are now orange, brittle, and falling in Autumn. They fall back to the earth, and She is as happy as she always is. Every season has its reasons. The darkness of this time is also for Life.
I understood this this morning as I was sitting in the dark, feeling into the Earth. The darkness needs its time too. We go wrong when we think that only light is good, only light is to be honored. But as I sat there in the dark, I felt her feeling happy. Receiving back from above what was born from below. Taking in the change of time, the change of season, and resting in the cycle. Life/Death/Life made sense to me today. We cannot have one without the other. Death is not the enemy. Death is the force. Death brings things back in order to generate the Life in its due time.
