I lost my spirituality back in June, after being an incredibly spiritual person. It just sort of died inside of me, lost into the dark inner crevices of my self.

Now I think I would like to start again. Start over completely, which I might have to do anyway because of my cognitive impairments. I'm actually reading a book on Celtic Spirituality of all types. Spirituality without borders. Its really beautiful and makes me think. Unfortunately, because of my impairments its a very slow read, and I have to go back and re-read what I read and try to make mental associations to make it stick. Sometimes I have to read books 2-3 times. Its going to be that way for the rest of my life. But I loved to read before my neurological trauma, so I'm getting back into it. I wish it wasn't so difficult though.

I have all the spiritual tools I need. And they are absolutely beautiful. Even though I lost my spiritual connection, I didn't get rid of my tools because they are very special to me. It took me years to get around to buying them.

This is actually the perfect month to pick my practices back up, with the holidays coming. Last year I did 12 days of Yule, I think I will try to do that again. I love this time of year. Everyone comes together, and there is so much kindness shared in the air. Despite the less daylight, the light is carried in our hearts and we give it to each other when we are kind to one another.
