“Routine is not a prison, but the way to freedom from time. The apparently measured time has immeasurable space within it, and in this it resembles music.”

― May Sarton

I’m afraid I have still been a bit in the Underworld after a very trying twelve months, but a bit more rest and rejuvenation and I will be back in full swing. The Planetary Illuminations report had to go on hiatus in October but will be back in November.

Saturn is preparing to square my Moon, and as the Prince of Solitude and Structure (Saturn) applies more and more pressure to my emotions and security issues (Moon) I decided it was a good time for some Visioncrafting of my own. As I made my lists of the things I want to bring into my life in the seven categories of human experience the thing that kept emerging was scheduling time and honoring a routine for the things that bring richness to my inner self: yoga, meditation, walks in the woods…

As a busy business person I am no stranger to calendars and schedules, but when it comes to enriching my inner life I tend to resist conforming my inner world into the rigid world of time. Saturn sits right on my Sun and is always reminding me, as he so often does, that time is passing quickly. So in the spiritual side of my life I often long for the space and freedom of spontaneity and the absence of regulation.

I took a break during my Visioncrafting to look for today’s inspiration post, and the first thing to catch my eye was this quote from May Sarton. Suddenly my eyes were opened and I saw clearly the value of routine for the things that are important to us. We think of routines as being dull and dreary – things we must do rather than things that liberate and free us. But by paying homage to the Lord of Time by creating space in our life for the things we treasure, we open up the very boundaries of time and become free.
