joy is being given
the secret of silence
after the hard lesson
and the heavy penance
joy is being driven
to relay radiance
and this way forgiven
for past indifference

The Broken Heart
People suffer the heartbreak of parting from their loved ones because their love is personal. Although everyone has a knowledge that such love is transient in the vast cyclic movement of life and death, this fact of existence is gen
THE LOSS OF A MOTHER
Is an inevitable part of our life.
We know it will come around
and we know the day will hurt
but we are not prepared,
never prepared
for the tearing.
The tearing of a part of our soul
from its very seams
stitches pulled asunde
« Pourquoi aimer les animaux?
Parce qu'ils vous donnent tout, sans rien demander.
Parce que contre le pouvoir de l'homme armé, ils sont sans défense.
Parce qu'ils sont des enfants éternels, Parce qu'ils ne savent pas ce qu'est la haine ou la guerre.

“Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary
Sat there and drove
Dreamed the car was freshly painted
the world round and good
as the Buddha
The sky through the box was the same color
as a pale slide from the 70's
I was not crazy
Not locked up
Self-chosen loneliness and in it I traveled

Before cutting the branch of a tree or removing a flower, tell the spirit of the tree or plant what you are going to do, so that they can withdraw their energy from that place and not feel the cut so strong.

Don't fall in love with a woman who reads,
a woman who feels too much,
a woman who writes...
Don't fall in love with an educated,
magical, delusional, crazy woman.
Don't fall in love with a woman who thinks,
who knows what she knows and also k
December 13th St. Lucia Day
St Lucia Day is celebrated on the 13th of December, very close to the Winter Solstice. Being characteristic especially of Sweden, Saint Lucia celebrations have spread into other Nordic countries, as well. On this day,
Owls are mostly nocturnal and so the realm of darkness and night is their usual domain. This is the place of mystery, ancient wisdom and the unknown.
Owls in folklore are also connected with the moon, which is a symbol of the feminine and fertility,
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
She looks for her omens
In the colors of stones
In the faces of cats
In the dancing of fire
In the curve of old bones
She sings heathеn songs
By the light of the moon
And dreams she can reac
“What time will you get in tonight?
Text me when you’re home
Be careful if you’re driving
Or if you’re out alone
Shout me if you need me
Or call me anytime
Hey, remember when we did that thing
And laughed until we cried?
Take a coat, it’s rainin
A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY~
On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place

when gloominess
deflects the gale
joy is the wind
that fills the sail
when despair is
tricking the scale
joy is the clue
that tells the tale
when spleen is thick
and hopes are pale
joy is meaning
that lifts the veil
when no reason
can find the trail
joy is compass
when there is fault
at the crossroad
joy is knowing
the cosmic goad
when the ciphers
the wit erode
joy is insight
breaking the code
when through hard work
seeds have been sowed
joy is seeing
blessings bestowed
when there's burden
and a long road
joy is a friend

Spirituality
What is it to be spiritual? Is it to wear a robe and shave the head, or perhaps to go to church and be reverent in the eyes of the world? Many people associate being spiritual with a traditional religion, or a psychic teaching that invo
WHEN WE’RE OLDER
When we’re older,
let’s meet every Sunday at 4,
in that cute little cafe we love.
Let’s laugh at our foibles,
our mishaps and then,
release our mistakes to above.
We can share our new wrinkles,
each hair that’s turned grey,
and
Make no mistake, it was women like you, like me, who burned on those pyres for their ‘witchcraft’.
Women who listened to their instincts, who connected with other souls on unseen levels.
Women who healed, who loved fiercely and who saw what some e

On the days when it feels like you will never get through this season, this period, this transition — please remember all of the mountains you have scaled before. Please remember all of the nights you spent convinced that you’d ne
The nutritionist said I should eat root vegetables.
Said if I could get down thirteen turnips a day
I would be grounded, rooted.
Said my head would not keep flying away
to where the darkness lives.
The psychic told me my heart carries too much weigh
