Magic
A cleansing Tooj trecena left us with the purity trecena, Iik, currently at its climax. We feel blissed and blessed, happy and joyful, it is quite a beautiful time within the sacred cycle. Our prayers have been answered and our magic is working. The body and our health have been making their reminders, and today we might overstep that balance and find that is part of the equilibrium too. My example was the mosquito last night. We had few hours to sleep because we had to get up early for my son's soccer game this morning. We would have been fine, everything would have been perfect if that one mosquito hadn't been there taking our few hours of sleep. It wasn't any mosquito, we are not foreign to them, but this one for some reason had quite the skill to buzz in our ear, not bite us and simply screw up our rest.
Today we are all tired because of that, but my morning prayer helped me understand that things like these are part of the balance and the magic. The body is constantly pushed to overcome inconforts and toxicities, and that keeps it strong and healthy. A life filled with stardom, art, beauty, travel, love, will leave us without eating, getting spined, dehydrated and sweaty in the forest, without sleep; and that takes our bodies past their ideal balance, yet, it is the balance, it's the magic of living life. A life bondaged by comfort, without aspirations, extreme goals and challenges, is the gateway to cancer, depression, and general decay.
