In many ways this serves us– for example, I am glad to trade the unknown of where my next meal is coming from by having a stable job that provides the means for food security. Having a sense of safety, of grounding, is necessary for our nervous systems to regulate. In other ways, this approach may hold us back– for instance, maybe we stay in a relationship longer than feels healthy because the known, although unpleasant, is less scary than the unknown of what’s to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c71eb3a66aac699c58d6f7/04ff0415-f6fc-4159-8c54-a9d60ef4a9b3/IMG_3975.jpg Monthly Musings - Tending the Fire: Trading Freedom for Stability - Falcons and hawks, they continued, are not driven by affection and don’t stay because of emotional attachments with their handlers. Instead, they stay because of trust in the reciprocal relationship. They’ve learned that if they stay, they are guaranteed food and safe shelter. In essence, they trade their freedom for stability. They trade the unknown for the known. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c71eb3a66aac699c58d6f7/a63fb70b-1dae-4e42-a3a4-d769791d6acc/unnamed+%2810%29.png Monthly Musings - Tending the Fire: Trading Freedom for Stability -

When we experience recurrent loss, our sense of safety wavers; the world feels less stable and it can require more effort to feel rooted. During this time, I didn't have the capacity to “stretch my comfort zone” or embrace adventures. Instead, I felt a calling to turn inwards. I needed to cocoon. I needed cozy.

Deep down I knew a truth was stirring. This wasn’t about my job, or workload, or even about disappointing a friend. This was about how I was showing up in my life: I was choosing productivity over connection, both with others and myself. After some time had passed, the acuteness softened: the tears became less frequent, the rage began to quell, and my spirit stirred, but I still didn’t feel like “myself”.

Like the grass that turned from taupe to green seemingly overnight, my internal season is shifting.

Connecting to the wintering version of myself has helped me notice the subtle changes as I move towards spring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c71eb3a66aac699c58d6f7/1712274992788-UU8Z2Q85HV8CS8DZZJG9/image-asset.jpeg Monthly Musings - Tending the Fire - On Honoring our Seasons - After some time had passed, the acuteness softened: the tears became less frequent, the rage began to quell, and my spirit stirred, but I still didn’t feel like “myself”.
