:::“TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.” ::: Howard Zinn :::

..such an eerie, mystical, magical, ethereal, almost anxious energy today... the full moon is almost ripe and beginning to rise, there's 80 degree weather in California, warm nights, chemtrails for dayyss, blazing wild land fires, and a purple and pink sprawling sunset.

the paradox of this destruction and beauty is undeniably present and extremely telling of the times to come.... we are changing, shifting, dying, rebirthing and creating our lives anew.

i'm just trying to be aware, and continually Grateful. humbly, simply, compassionately, divinely, passionately involved and grateful in my life in every way, everyday.

we are the ones we have been waiting for <3 comment-3--="" nbsp="">


ps... I'm back :)

::spring forth::

Mother awakens! She stirs, sending forth shoots and leaves, whispering sweet desires, coaxing forth all who seek release from the bonds of Winter's Night. At solstice we sheltered, tiny in the still fathomless darkness. Now like the bird in the eggshell, we've swelled to fill the space. Our world grows tight, cramped. We feel anxious, our resources nearly gone. Time to peck our way out and claim the promise of Spring.

How? First notice and name What Binds You. Name the prisons of fearsome circumstance, disillusionment, environmental crisis. Notice what feels stifled, blocked, hopeless. Then circle together to Turn It Around! Stir and flex your power. Stretch and moan, rock and sing, and break free at the peak. Emerge from the broken shell of winter. Feel lightened. lifted, determined to leave the old world in shards behind you. Sparkling and sovereign, stride into the Gateway, between the twin pillars, one light one dark. Unbound, blessed and surging, retrieve the trust that comes with balance. Thrive in the burgeoning light.

ENERGY WISDOM Sun 27th Jan: "If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough." - Lowell Lundstrum......This time has been, and is, a crossroad where you either run back to the familiar from anxiety and fear or follow that pull which scares you yet will bring you something new. With the full moon in Leo, and Mars in between your safe and secure past (Taurus south node) and a very deep creati...ve transformation (Scorpio north node) means facing a certain metaphorical ‘death’ and UNCERTAINTY. You use this energy to either fall apart in anxiety or unmask your own inner rebel or creative genius. With Saturn also in Scorpio AND Chiron/Neptune in Pisces touching Jupiter you are facing unconscious anxieties and also addictions and/or self defeating behaviours which take you away from FEELING IT ALL! The joy, the tremor, the anxiety, the anticipation, the sadness, the excitement, the passion, the rapture. Just take a look at mother nature at the moment who is unleashing her fury and power all over the world – fires, floods, cold snaps! You are breaking away from the known familiar and opening to a new and uncertain way of 'being'. Finding and balancing your centre within a flurry of uncertain change is key. You work with Mercury and Saturn with dedication, focus and staying power and drop out of your fear based head and get into your FEELING BODY! The biggest and best news of this week is that Jupiter, who has been moving backwards since last October, turns and gets ready to move forward on Wednesday! Get ready to EXPAND your world and be catapulted FORWARD. What a wild ride we are on!
