What happens when our love goes underground into the realm of the unknown and incomprehensible? What happens when we witness the middle world going up in flames of hatred? What happens when the upper world seems to be quietly watching, waiting, allowing?
Mercury has just turned retrograde, inviting us to revisit our relationship to the outside world, and to shift our orientation to Source. I’m using the word Source these days rather than Truth, as “truth” has been quite distorted and upended, and ironically, i don’t quite trust it. We are in a time of adulterated information - a time when it’s difficult to discern factual from fictional news and information.
Are you ready for some activation? Are you ready for your patterns to be eclipsed? It’s coming. It’s here. I felt it strongly during the Leo New Moon which initiated this current lunation, soon reaching its peak with the Aquarius Full Moon and partial lunar eclipse at 11:11am PDT on 7 August, 2017.
...being alive, having made it here, and being here still is a rare and precious accomplishment.
Your desires are holy, sacred, desired. This morning i meditated with Saraswati - goddess of wisdom, eloquence, poetry, music, intuitive wisdom. I asked her what wants to awaken in and live through me. She called me to a deep, sweet place beneath the longings for this or that and the other things. She reminded me that the poignant longing for longing, desire for desire is the space to muse upon and create from.
Sometimes the Moon pulls you in and spits you out on the Otherside. Maybe there is no dark side, only an other side. Sometimes the Earth draws you down, down, down…and you keep going until you think you hit rock bottom. But perhaps there is no rock bottom, perhaps you arrive at the point where down becomes up…and you find that without even knowing it, you are going up, up, up and resurfacing to the light with an entirely new perspective and place within yourself and in the world.
At birth, each one of us is born with a Bowl of Light. Our child spirit can fly with the birds, swim with the sharks and move mountains. As we move through life, we experience wounds and disenchantments that cause us to lose faith in life and ourselves as beings of great and simple magic. In this way, we gather stones in our Bowl of Light, and feel weighted down by the world, no longer able to fly.
I am gazing across the ocean as the sun sets and paints the sky and waters in an ever-changing canvas of beauty. The ocean is the Great Mother who nurtures us with a compassion and love that runs deep, no matter who we are, no matter what we’ve done.
This is a poignant time of ripening, a time of enjoying the juicy fruits and wide open flowers before they turn. I want to capture the moment of perfect ripeness forever, as if in a three-dimensional, four-dimensional, five-dimensional picture that i can hold and cherish, that will never grow old and never go away or die. This is a remnant of the maiden - the child spirit who i imagine we all still feel at times.
I am just returning from a week with the wild wise women of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes and tribe. It feels as if i am still in the temenos - the sacred portal between. The journey does not end when we return from a life-changing experience (whether it is a moment of awe, rite of passage, retreat, vacation, workshop or even class or healing session). There is a sacred afterglow, and the experience itself is only just barely beginning…if we continue with whole-Self devoted to the integration.
