qosThis is kind of strange. . .
Last night I was moving into ritual space in a very quiet, relaxed way (read: lying snuggled up in bed, but focused on the work). I had started lighting candles sometime between 9:45 and 10pm, but wasn't worrying about trying to do anything at a particular moment. At the time this happened, I had no idea how much time had passed.
I was focusing on the energies and presence I had summoned, when suddenly I felt. . . a shift. It was subtle but real, and it was independent of what I was doing consciously -- and I thought Oh! We just hit the Solstice.
Next thought: Huh? Who am I kidding?
I lay there, pondering, then sighed, rolled over, and picked up my gadget to check the time. 10:05. Official time for the Solstice was 10:06pm (Pacific) -- but since we're working on cosmic scales, I didn't think a minute on a gadget made that much difference.
If it had been 5 or more minutes on either side, it probably wouldn't have felt as significant.
Maybe it's not significant it all.
But -- again -- this isn't something I'd ever felt before.
I like the thought that maybe I am becoming more attuned to these deep rhythms.
Because of they aren't real, if the energy shift is not something one could feel, then what's the point?
Well. . . maybe there would be a point anyway. Maybe the symbolism is enough, all by itself.
But still. . . it felt special. It felt significant.
I'm filing it under "unproven" and enjoying the memory.
