How do you measure a year?

In Seasons of Love...

April 13, 2021

As I write this blog today, my heart is still overflowing with a melody of hope and loss, presence and possibility.

 

Last night I saw the musical RENT for the second time this week.

Held outdoors, with socially-distanced seating and masks required, I had the immense pleasure of experiencing the magic that comes from seeing art and beauty in motion through live performance.

What made this extra special was that our daughter was in the cast. (Yep, that's her in the photo below!)

After this past year, we didn't know whether the annual school musical would happen...but it did!

And it came in such perfect timing...

I love how synchronicity works...these signs and symbols from the Universe that are dropped like breadcrumbs for us to pick up along this journey of life.

That's what happened for me when I saw the kids sing "Seasons of Love".

That moment had me in tears as I considered the question that begins the song.

"Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure, Measure a year?"

The memories of this past year flooded my heart...The memories of all that I personally, and we, collectively...

lost

forgot

remembered

learned

valued

Like a healing incantation, the lyrics and melody help bring closure to this extraordinary year, and in divine timing, help welcome the beginning of a new astrological year and season... with the Aries new moon.

On this Aries New Moon, I'm wishing you a happy new beginning, a "Season of Love" and an invitation to consider these questions,

How do you measure your life?

What would it look like to measure your life by how much you love and are loved?

That's what's on my heart today...and I know there are still frozen places in my heart that are in need of thawing so that I can open to more love.

So here's a ritual for this new moon...inspired by "RENT".

1. Click HERE to see the video of the original cast of RENT singing "Seasons of Love".

2. Let it melt the shields of your heart.

3. Journal on the questions above.

4. Set some fiery Aries New Moon intentions that fuel your courage to live a life of love.

May you measure your life in all the little things that open your heart. Like the lyrics suggest, you can measure a year...

In daylights,
In sunsets,
In midnights,
In cups of coffee,
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife

And above all, may you measure your life in love,...in Seasons of Love.

From my heart to yours,
