From Gaia: 9-13-22
Dipping yourself in these words from the Great Mother can be so very nourishing, especially if you invite yourself into stillness, first. A quiet space, a few focused breaths…. You have noticed more disquiet in my patterns, my rhythms, dearest ones. You have noticed more disquiet in your own patterns and rhythms. Of course. We…

Just a brief two weeks from the spring equinox, as the soft white sky drifted earthwards in flocks of crystalline fragments she whispered, “Settle in with me, sweet sister. Spiral inward one more time. Listen…listen…listen…” In a…
