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,

May your hands be cleansed,
that they create beautiful things.
May your feet be cleansed,
that they might take you
where you most need to be.
May your heart be cleansed,
that you might hear its messages clearly.

They have come for us
We who are female
We who bleed
They are trying to pull us backwards
To a time where their hatred of us was open
Where they controlled all of what we said and did
Their patriarchy perpetuates itself through their churches

I am a human, not a robot. A living person on this part of the world, where springtime is about to come. I am longing for the beautiful early evenings, the return of the songbirds, the cranes. The return of hope and life after pandemic.

If you need good luck, my friend
Keep this simple habit
Right when you wake
On a new-month morn
Say “Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit!”
Welcome, February!
Saying “Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit” aloud upon waking on the first day of a new month is an old charm to e

When I die
Give what’s left of me away
To children
And old men that wait to die.
And if you need to cry,
Cry for your brother
Walking the street beside you
And when you need me,
Put your arms
Around anyone
And give to them

Bob Dylan:
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that nev
Khalil Gibran on Fear
It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,

It's even more important during these powerful times that we encourage the art of innocent play. Turn off the news, put down your phone and play. You're not going to miss anything that's happening in the world. The news, your messages will still b
The dead are not distant or absent. They are alongside us. When we lose someone to death, we lose their physical image and presence, they slip out of visible form into invisible presence. This alteration of form is the reason we cannot see the dea
"Mystical Conversation", Odilon Redon, (1896)
In the Celtic tradition, there is a beautiful understanding of love and friendship. One of the fascinating ideas here is the idea of soul-love; the old Gaelic term for this is anam cara. Anam is the Gae

I know there may have been times in your life when you’ve stopped dancing, stopped singing, stopped being yourself because someone was watching you. Judging you.
And you are not the only one to feel this way. But I can’t help thinking that we’ve g
It’s when the earth shakes
And foundations crumble
That our light is called
To rise up.
It’s when everything falls away
And shakes us to the core
And awakens all
Of our hidden ghosts
That we dig deeper to find
Once inaccessible strength.
