my path

these days i am in transition
moving into the unknown
unsure of my path
trusting that i will somehow
feel
sense
intuit
come to know
my way
or at least
an inspired next step

she is…

funny
playful
creative
adventurous
determined to be
free

and still growing me

the women will lead

 

during a gathering with three wonderful women, i experienced an organic shamanic journey, descending into the earth until there was no more earth. when i arrived with my daughter to a sacred space, i heard the words “the women will lead” from an ancient female voice. and another woman heard god: great open dance.

and so this has become my current mantra:
the women will lead the great open dance

returning home with gratitude, i saw katherine center’s amazing video about kirtsy’s new book, affirming this exact intention.

it is time for our stories, dances, leadership.

drumming, chanting, storytelling
learning, gathering, resting in the rhythm

belonging

in belong to me by marisa de los santos

cornelia says, “happiness feels so fragile.”

and her husband, teo asks, “so what do we do about it?”

“you tell me.”

“live. forget that it’s fragile. live like it isn’t.”

i am happy today to be alive, living with those to whom i belong.

vanishing bees

the vanishing of the bees documentary was recently released
it tells the story of honeybees…
~ how they are essential to our lives (vital to 1/3 of our food supply)
~ how the ancient mediterranean cultures revered them
~ how they are now in danger (colony collapse disorder)
~ how we can help these sacred beings

cycles

the full moon evoked reflections on cycles
nature cycles…waves and currents
archetypal cycles…creative flow
life cycles…birth, death and rebirth
the circular rhythm of the universe

and she opened me to receive this gift from rach.mad.love

magic

children's box art: magic tree house

lately, our imaginations have been filled with magic, including stories about wizards and witches, faeries and adventures in tree houses. as i witness the children opening to and creating magic all around them, i am inspired to honor and appreciate it, the magic in my life.
