For All Signs We experience our lives in multiple spiraling threads. As any one cycle comes to a conclusion, we often feel an element of sadness and grief over the loss of an era. This is followed by a period of time that is empty, devoid of spark and inspiration. It is something like a corridor of time, in which one door has closed and the next one is not yet visible. We of Western culture often try to leap over the empty spaces prematurely, because we don't understand the value of quiet in the hallways between one thing and the next. If you have experienced loss, let yourself be still and give your inner self the opportunity to heal you.
