From Andrew Smith
On a cold start to the morn, your engine having been all revved up with nowhere to go, would you offer your heat to the dawn, just to get your motor going? Yes, this past few months has been draining you of your vital life force – fire managing dramas created by those who know not what they are doing; cortisol levels spiking from the stress and strain of provision; erotic energy dampened from spiralling eternal hope; anxiety over the state of a world rejoicing in hells fires; and focus distracted by… you can’t remember…!
Despite it all, you have not stopped believing and now, as another new day rises, there are times like these in the course of a life when your inner light shines on a one-way motorway, you can feel the heat burning with uncommon steadiness, casting its light forward rather than holding back the dark. Feeling more yourself, present, and awake, warmed by conviction, your spirit feels charged with purpose, as though summoned to step from contemplation into the open field of endeavour.
Today, you are invited to claim authorship of your direction, to act as a steward of your own light, and to invest your strength in a course that will ask for consistency and devotion. This is the quiet grandeur of sustained effort, where a single choice, held faithfully, shapes the future more surely than any sudden flourish.
Stand, as you are, at a threshold where inner illumination meets directed will, and the future leans forward to receive what you place into it, with your strength gathered and your purpose clear, a question arises - what enduring work will you set your hand to now, knowing that this choice will grow through the next two years and stand as a testament to who you resolved to become?
Remember that what is now initiated enters as a living seed, settling deep. The work begun in this hour will grow through experience, taking shape through persistence, acquiring substance through endurance over the coming two years.
Today you are a brand new sky upon which the light shines.
