Building A Queendom


 This sums up the past year as it inspires me for the future.
Sayanora 2020.  Farewell injustice.  Adios inequality.

There's Music...Call It That


The absolute luxury of walking in silence in the woods is a priceless treasure. 
Anyone who has experienced this knows of which I speak.  
It is one of those rare activities the carries secrets within it.

Happy Birthday to a very special 9 year old today.

Birdwoman


 I'm practicing a new way of conducting my life.  Rather than being ruled by habit and "getting it done", I'm taking a slower pace.  One where I'm listening to the under current.  
Although I receive an email from Rattle with a poem every day,  I don't always read them.  
Today, I felt compelled by the undercurrent to do so and felt rewarded.  
I recommend reading it in its entirety.

Looking Directly At What's Threatening

Man oh man, this is strong advice.  Seeing the threat is fairly straightforward.  Finding a way to 
live with it and do what is mine to do about it, requires equally strong reflection and ample courage.

Sharing The Flame


 There seems to be an over-abundance of pain in the world today.  
Envisioning us gathering to light a fire with this pain while singing together feels comforting.  
So I'm tenderly placing my logs of grief, pain and loss onto the pyre and softly humming 
so as not to frighten the children with my less than melodious singing.

May you enjoy the real Spirit of Christmas every single day.  
Sending out warmth, peace, and goodwill from my heart to yours.
