Acorn season sort of started with an odd dream I had. I dreamt that I was the Queen of the Acorns. I know. Weird. But Tara believes you should pay attention to dreams and had me start researching acorns just to see if they meant anything. Wiki says they are the fruition or long, hard labor and only appear on mature trees. An old proverb says great oaks from little acorns grow.
Don't know what that means for me. But there is something else. Feeling desolate at summer's end, I felt led into a season of fasting. Maybe because it is the only thing I hadn't tried. Maybe because I needed the calm that comes from emptiness. Maybe because I want to stop trying to meet my own needs and see if God will show mercy on a more prostrate me. So I entered this season with confusion and mixed emotions and no great intention.
So far: Good- do feel calmer, do hear God sometimes, find more meaning in looking forward to times with people, reflect a lot on belonging and needing a mindset of expectation on that
Bad- want to hide out sometimes, calm means also less energy
