I'm just writing to let you know I'm thinking of you, and sending care and support. No matter your circumstances or situation, these are not easy times. Some of you have asked me about tools for engaging with the constant onslaught... I will share what I am finding helpful, in hope that it may resonate for some of you.
Today is the second new moon after winter solstice, a time for feeling the quickening of the womb of Earth, the sap running in the trees, the first buds and blossoms and buckeye leaves burgeoning, birdsong and bulbs blooming. Cherry-plum blossoms, magnolias, daffodils, currently showing.
We are entering the year of Yin Wood Snake.
Into the darkness we go.
Sinking into fertile Earth,
luxuriating into the welcoming Night,
releasing into Deep Waters.
Solace and Resource
a rich embrace.
Here, in the spaces between, is possibility.
In the spaces between and within our cells, there is possibility for healing and transformation.
In the space between and within our breaths, lives deep peace, lives hope.
Savoring joy and gratitude is revolutionary and essential in these turbulent times…
Summer solstice blessing/poem
A poem of hope…
Tomorrow is the second new moon after winter solstice, marking the beginning of Spring on the Chinese calendar, and the beginning of this Wood Dragon year…
New Year’s thoughts and offering
This is the deepening time darkening time dreaming time
time to light candles…
Breathe a tender breath… a poem/prayer for these times
Going for a walk in the hills, my head is swirling with This, That, The Other Thing, Plan, Do, Figure Out, Worry.
But then Nature whispers a simpler message. Green. Trees. Rock.
"You are the soul of the soul of the Universe, and your name is Love" ~ Rumi
