Welcome to this week on the art\/life trail ride! <\/span><\/h4>\n

October 1-30 brings\u00a0the\u00a0Experience<\/strong> Moon.<\/span><\/h4>\n

We are standing at the West Gate on the circle of the Natural Year. From here we begin the deep inward turn on the trail that takes us down and in. <\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

As we begin to move away from the appropriate business of spring and summer\u00a0we engage a\u00a0brief review:<\/span><\/h4>\n

What About ME?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n


\n\"memory\"<\/span>Journal page, Drozda<\/span><\/h4>\n

At\u00a0spring equinox\u00a0we entered the East Gate where we learned anew how to relate to ME. ME is a code word for\u00a0nurturing the relationship with wise selfish, placing first attention on self so as to gain just a bit more Clarity <\/strong>that led to just a bit more Wisdom<\/strong> that brought just a bit more Illumination<\/strong>. Throughout\u00a0spring we develop this\u00a0creative focus.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Relating to Others<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

At\u00a0summer solstice the South Gate swings open helping us learn new skills in our\u00a0relating to Others. The summer quarter of the Natural Year brings a bit more creative Growth<\/strong> as we learn to Trust<\/strong> just a bit more our innate ability to Love<\/strong>.<\/span><\/h4>\n

At fall equinox we pause at the West Gate. This is a natural time to reflect upon relationship with Others as seen in the mirror of ME.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Here is a 10 minute West Gate\u00a0review of the first half of the Natural Year:<\/span><\/h4>\n
