Honouring Endings

The concept of endings and how we move through them is one that has fascinated me for many years. So often in our fast-paced world we forget the importance of honouring endings and don’t take the time to acknowledge these moments of completion.

This can be because we find it painful to accept that an ending is taking place and don’t want to feel the loss of this thing, or it can be because we are racing on to the next thing or attempting to be constantly in full bloom.

Nature knows the importance of endings.

Taking the time to reflect helps us to surrender to the intelligent force that is woven through all of life.

When we allow ourselves to truly acknowledge and honour endings in our lives, we metaphorically ‘go underground’ by coming to a standstill and allowing ourselves to recover and rest. We may not realize it, but this is the most important part of our growth. And it takes faith and surrender to do it.

Trust the sureness of the soil. Be cradled by the great mystery.
