Ode to Scorpio ~
From the silken midnight waters
To the fire within the darkness
A poisonous dart of passion
Questionable acts of the heartless
There is a rumble from the depths
And truth seekers continue on
Regardless of discomfort
They persevere until the dawn
The shadow invites us in
And it isn’t all that’s nice
Time to look and not avoid
Deconstructing from the vice
Read MoreI sat down to breathe, closed my eyes and went in
Where was the earth and where did it begin?
My body convulsed as I birthed a lion cub
Without time as a threshold, I blinked, it grew up
The Lion devoured me in one shocking fell swoop
I became nothing, re-formed, my belly moving like soup
I heaved and I birthed, a second lion cub son
Another mouth, so fierce, teeth around me…I was done
I opened my eyes and I floated with grace
A deep topaz blue, a high mountain lake…
Read MoreThe new moon in Gemini has brought forth gifts of new thought, curious inner dialogue and countless ways to see ourselves in the mirror of others.
How many of us are feeling deep aches running through the center of our bones? A longing for a new future perhaps? An insatiable desire to connect with that which is greater? How about grieving a loss of sorts? Of a loved one or a time past?
Read MoreAn epic question for epic times. My experience of this time of year has transformed dramatically from my youth and continues to shapeshift as I traverse my own understanding of what “Holy” means. When I was young it meant scavenging for Easter eggs, chocolate and flowers. It was a time when my family would come together, mostly for brunch since they weren’t religious, and share quality time together.
Read MoreA first spark of light
Materializes into form,
Fire emblazing from cove of Aries,
A truly dynamic storm…
Pioneer of the zodiac
The rebel warrior of youth,
Stakes its claim and says…I AM here
And darling, so are you
Read MoreWith the waves crashing over my soul, the sun beating down on my flesh, I shed some tears in the ethereal presence of love. For years I have lived with a silent ring of protection around my heart, afraid to venture too far in any one direction despite my curiosities…
Read MoreThere once was a maiden who yet knew rebirth,
she danced and she danced ‘round her perceived value and worth.
In her days of youth, she would commune with the creatures and plants,
seeking connection in every living thing, riding bareback in trance.
Through the forests with sunlight kissing her skin,
between shadows of leaves she found Nature’s kin.
Her innocence was a flame that began to grow dim,
as she grew, her attention was lost, seeking outside, not within.
Read MoreI open my eyes to you every morning,
And receive your kisses every night
I dream with you every moment in between,
And open myself to your light
Read MoreSettling into the warmth of radiant floor heating, cozying into a cashmere blanket, having just steeped in a hot bath full of salt and essential oils, feeling quite human again while sipping on a delicious coconut mylk matcha latte, I am considering this question in a different way than perhaps I would have just weeks ago. And yes, I recognize I am completely spoiled right now. So, I see your question and I’ll raise you two answers.
Read MoreWe the People of the current state of being are all in the same boat. There is no getting off this boat unless we transition out of this body. This body? My body. Your body? We each have a body. Same, same, but different, different. Who judges our bodies? Do I? Do you? Take sides? Take care. This boat may sink if we don’t take care…of each other.
