Today is Halloween... or all Hallow's Eve... or in the Celtic world... Samhain. It marks the end of the harvest season... the turning from the season of light to the season of dark. The season of light to the season of gloom... Again... we can always choose to dispel the gloom ourselves... The feast of Samhain lights bonfires to ward off the dark... We too can light bonfires within our own spirits... bonfires that keep the gloom at bay... bonfires that welcome the light and create the light...
But in order to light a bonfire... or even a little campfire...we need some fuel... We need something to burn, something to light, something to kindle within us... Something that will burn within us... What are those things for us? Is it our practices, our habits? Exercise? Meditation? Eating well? Drinking lots of water? Doing something for us? Is it our hobbies? The things that we do that give us energy. The things that give us joy and life... The things that connect us to our spirit... We all have the fuel to create the bonfires within us... but we need to know what our fuel is... And it isn't things like sleeping in... drinking... drugs... caffeine... smoking...
