Be Still Awhile

For now, dear seeker, even while you are on this adventure, the Kitsune ask you to consider that it is time to be still awhile. You have traveled far and experienced a great deal. Now, these wise foxes say it is time to rest and recuperate and be still, still as the earth beneath the snow, quiet s the seed beneath the soil, and allow the energy about you to be rewoven and reweaved, and the energy within you to be restored and received.

This is a time to pause and to breathe, and to take deep space and time for yourself. In a world that encourages an endless doingness, this time of nothingness will seem difficult and strange at times, even frustrating. Yet there is a purpose, and there is so much that needs to be done in the stillness. Nature is not always in the process of growth-she moves and dances in a cycle of seasons, and the season for you now is winter, a season to be soft, and quiet as snow, to rest as the trees do, and to prepare silently, with patience, for the gateway and the tests that lie ahead. You will move forward again, but for now, dear one, rest awhile in this space with the Kitsune of Inari, and know you will be all the better for this time of graceful, soft, and peaceful pause.
