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…

How you communicate with with your wild kin doesn’t matter. What matters is that you start the conversation. Gaia

Immersed in birdsong {practice}
Sat quietly immersed in birdsong – well, more like bird conversation – this morning. Feeling the boundary between skin and earth and air dissolve, I floated there, both all and nothing, in the quietest peace I’ve felt in months. Years, possibly. There is something so extraordinarily potent in surrendering my individuality only to become more…

From Gaia: 6-8-22 “Encouragement”
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…. rest your belly on mine… …we are one slip your soft-bodied self in my waters… …we are one spread your arms and dance with the winds……

Communicating without words {practice}
I’ve been immersed in non-language communication for weeks. It makes staying connected with other people a bit challenging. The world is such a word-filled place. We’re such a language-centric species. Switching back and forth is bemusing. And… The richest conversations I experience happen between my body and the living world. No words. Simply a generous…

Because it’s spring here, wild violets are blooming everywhere. Today, they wanted to share some thoughts. Oh, the heart-singing, world-walking truth of us! For we are capable—yes!—so capable of all of this. And with joy! For what is an emergence—this great pushing of roots and stems—if not joyful and so, so, so very alive. We…

What reminds you that you’re alive? {practice}
Wherever I am, whether it’s a shopping mall or a local park, I notice how I look for places where people are not, and go there. How often I am literally off the beaten path. How I simply have to be in the places that other people don’t go. Today, I am on a muddy…

From Gaia: 4-21-22
I was meditating/deep listening this morning, wondering if there would be a message to offer you today. With a metaphoric finger wag, Gaia offered this: The thing to remember is that this (deep listening/communing) is what’s important about this (our relationship). Not the teachings or the messages, but this (the quiet, calm feeling of belonging…

From Gaia: 4-17-22
It is an unusual time for both people and place, plants and humans. A time of unwilling change—unlooked for change—a time when circumstances seem to be directing the paths of all living beings. What you see is not what is, beloveds. Find hope in that, dear ones. Find courage. Find possibility.
