My nothing in the beginning and nothing in the end are not the same.
Both the Fool and the Ouroboros as archetypes keep showing up for me this year. It's exhilarating and liberating, and the shadow self within also resists it at times, uncomfortable with changes that nudge, fearful of being swallowed, anxious of the Void.
These two spirits gently remind me that looking back in romanticized and exaggerated fondness can keep me stuck in drying cement, but if looked back with a sense of curiosity and gratitude, there are clues that can encourage me to be receptive to each baby step outward and forward in my present moments. Embrace the nothingness, welcome the feeling of being consumed, the dissolve is sacred.
My nothing in the beginning and nothing in the end are not the same.
