I have several new blog posts in process and was going to publish one today. And then this landed. A potent precursor because in this season of release and letting go, that is what my writing is about. 

Christopher and I have become friends through our blog posts. While we are of very different spiritual traditions, there is always a resonance. This piece I’m sharing here just stopped me cold. I’ve reached out to find more of the story. I know he’s had medical challenges but I didn’t expect this. I’m sharing it, and the image he posted with it, because it is where we will all stand at some point in our Crone journey. So powerful.

the sadness before separation

fall will turn to winter
after the letting go
don’t go away
I must
there are things for me
on the other side
and I am called
I have been suffering
all that will change now

this is what to feel for now
the sadness before separation
it’s easier to say
for now

the greater pain is coming
the confusion of mortality
the letting go

Blessings of Crone Wisdom,
Judith
