Spring, The Morning, The East, The Adventurer/Warrior

Oh, how I wanted to ride this post out of its barn into the blossoming world of spring a few months ago! After all, that’s precisely what the archetypal theme of Spring/morning/the east and the Adventurer/Warrior is calling us to do when we engage with it.

Instead, here I am, less than a week before spring has passed me by, only now trotting it out, hoping I won’t get scolded by the early-bird-catches-the-worm coach for being so late.

Before we get into it, in another week or two, I’m planning to write a farewell-to-four-years-blogging on-Medium post (as I merge over to Substack over the summer), and in it, I’ll explain why I really couldn’t get that head start on spring I’d been hoping for.

For now, yes, I broke my promise to write one blog post per week in 2023 and, in doing so, I didn’t write today’s post, part 2 of my series about my morning gratitude incantation, at the start of spring as I’d promised in part 1 of the series.

Now, the purpose of sharing this process is not to convince you to do the same as me. Instead, it’s to help you understand how I work with archetypes to benefit my life, and maybe it’ll inspire you to experiment with these wonderful psychological tools.
