Let’s just call this the Holiday Cactus, to encompass Columbus Day, as we add that to the roster of holidays on which this crazy plant has bloomed. It’s been this pretty for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and Easter. At its heart, it’s a signifier of change, of seasonal shifts, of more light leaving or arriving. A transitional totem. A symbol of time and movement.
We are moving quickly through this fall. Once Halloween comes and goes, we’ll be right into the holiday slide. Is anyone ready for this? I am as ready as I’m going to be, and I’m taking the weight off any and every holiday responsibility because boundaries and limits are best for a proper Virgo.
‘No’ is a complete sentence, and one of my favorites.
